RP4-CH11
Radio Replacement & Steering Wheel Control Interface
for Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep Vehicles
Introduction & Features
The RP4-CH11 interface allows the replacement of a factory radio in select Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicles with MSCAN or
LSFT-CAN databus radios. Using this interface will retain factory features such as steering wheel controls (SWC) vehicle
entertainment system (VES) and the factory audio amplifier whenever the original radio is removed. The RP4-CH11 also
provides data bus driven outputs such as retained accessory power (RAP), vehicle speed sensor (VSS), illumination,
reverse trigger and parking brake.
Important Notes
1. The radio select rotary switch on the side of the interface must be adjusted to the proper radio setting before plugging the
interface into the vehicle (see next page for setting chart).
2. When the interface is first plugged into the vehicle the LED will flash indicating the auto detect sequence. Once the CAN-BUS
speed is detected the LED will illuminate and should be on at all times when the interface is on. The LED will also flash whenever
a SWC button is pressed
3. The interface comes pre-programmed for all of the vehicles factory SWC functions and does not require programming unless
you wish to re-assign the SWC functions to different buttons. The SWC can always be restored to default settings by pressing
and releasing the program button on the side of the interface once and waiting 7 seconds for the LED to flash 4 times.

Testing & Verification
1. Turn the ignition on. The LED on the interface will turn on & the +12v accessory wire will turn on.
2. Turn on the radio & check balance & fade. Note: Factory amplified Systems will not fade as neither the aftermarket radio or
the RP interface have the ability to control the amplifier’s fader.
3. Verify that the factory subwoofer (if present) is playing
4. Verify that all SWC are functioning properly.
4. Turn off vehicle & remove key. RAP will be active & keep the radio on for 10 minutes or until the drivers door is opened.
5. The LED & radio will turn off when RAP turns off or the drivers door is opened.
Vehicle Entertainment System (VES); If equipped
1. Vehicles equipped with a DVD player built into the rear screen assembly:
The RP4-CH11 will allow the VES DVD player and rear screen to function as if the factory radio were present. A/V will be passed
from the factory DVD player to the rear screen and audio can be heard through the headphones. A/V cannot be passed from the
factory DVD player to the aftermarket head unit.
2. Vehicles equipped with a stand alone VES DVD Player:
The RP4-CH11 will allow the VES DVD player and rear screen(s) to function as if the factory radio were present. A/V will be
passed from the factory DVD player to the rear screen(s) and audio can be heard through the headphones. A/V can also be fed
from the VES DVD player into an aftermarket head unit (head unit must support A/V in) with the use of the CHYRVD. It is VERY
IMPORTANT that the RP4-CH11 Blue/White remote input wire be connected for this feature to function properly!
3. Vehicles not equipped with a VES DVD Player (rear screen(s) only):
In this application the CHYRVD must be used in order to feed A/V into the factory screen(s) from an aftermarket head unit (head
unit must support A/V out). With the CHYRVD, A/V will be passed from the aftermarket head unit to the rear screen(s) and audio
can be heard through the headphones. If you wish to retain the Auxiliary inputs on the rear of the console you must disconnect
the factory wires from the auxiliary input then connect and run your own RCAs into the aftermarket head unit.
4. Vehicles equipped with a Reverse Camera:
In order to retain the factory reverse camera the CHYRVD must be used to feed video into the aftermarket head unit (head unit
must support reverse camera input).
Product Updates (Firmware)
The RP4-CH11 can be updated with new firmware as it becomes available using the PAC-UP interface updater (sold seperatly).
