Manual Shift Knob with 4 Button Infrared Stereo Controller
The SK1 is a polished aluminum gear shift knob that replaces most factory manual transmission shift knobs. The SK1 is also a infrared learning remote that can learn up to 6 functions from most aftermarket stereos, VCPs, DVDs and Satellite radios wireless remote. The larger button (Fig. 1) is the Dual mode button which switches the bottom 3 buttons over to second mode which gives you 3 additional functions.

Step 1: Unpacking

Remove the phillips screw from underneath the package. Unscrew the bottom cover on the gear knob and remove the set screws and plastic dowel inside the gear knob. C:

Step 3: Continued

Insert the rubber cap into the gear knob making sure that the cable is aligned with the slot on the rubber cap. This slot provides clearance for the cable after installation. Try to center it between the set screws.
Step 2: Select gear knob adapter
Remove your existing gear knob from the car. Find the correct rubber adapter from the three choices and cut off.
D: Using a small screw driver push the rubber cap all the way into the bottom of the gear knob. Warning! Be sure that the cable is clear of the set screws when tightening. Failure to do so will cause damage to the ribbon cable and cause malfunction.
Step 4: Install the SK1 controller module
All SK1 wire connections should be made at the same connector as the aftermarket stereo. Connect the SK1 black wire to chassis ground and the red wire to 12 volts switched accessory. Run the 5 pin ribbon cable down the gear shaft and through the boot cover up to the SK1 module. Connect the 5 pin ribbon cable of the gear knob to the SK1 module (Fig. 1). Do not mount the IR emitter until after programming and verifying operation on next page.

Step 3: Installation of gear knob
A: Insert rubber cap into gear knob. This step requires that you insert the rubber cap into the gear knob very carefully. Failure to install properly could cause damage to the ribbon cable and failure of the SK1 module. B: Straighten the ribbon cable coming out of the gear knob to remove any twists. Pull the cable out gently to straighten it if necessary.
Important! Be sure the ribbon cable inside the gear knob is straight before inserting the rubber cap!

Step A: Programming IR Mode2
Programming an IR Mode After terminating the red and black wire, the SK1 is ready to be programmed with a IR Mode. Listed below is a list of known stereos that need to have IR Extended Mode selected during programming. Go to next step Programming Radio Commands if the IR Mode is already programmed. A) While holding the Program Mode button in, turn on the ignition. At this point, both LEDs should be on. Release the Program Mode button and both LEDs will turn off. B) Both LEDs will then light up and stay on for 3 seconds. Press the Program Mode button within the 3 seconds to turn on IR Extended Mode, both LEDs will turn off. To select IR Standard Mode, do not press the Program Mode button and wait for both LEDs to turn off after the 3 seconds. C) Once programmed, the SK1 will keep the IR Mode in memory. If you accidently programmed the wrong IR mode, turn off the ignition and go back to step A. D) Turn off the ignition and go to Programming Radio Commands section.

Step B: Programming Radio Commands
Programming the SK1 to control the new aftermarket head unit: First check that the IR remote that was supplied with the new head unit works properly. If the remote does not properly control the head unit, the interface cannot be programmed. Weak batteries in the remote may cause programming errors, even if the remote seems to operate the stereo properly. 1) Turn on the ignition to supply power to the SK1. 2) Press the Program Mode button to enter radio command programming mode. Release the program button when left LED light comes on. 3) Within 10 seconds, press and hold button #1. Continue to hold button #1 until the left LED turns off. Release the button and the right LED will turn on. 4) Hold the stereos IR remote control 3-4 from the IR input port on the side of the SK1 and press the corresponding function button. Continue to hold the remotes button until the right LED turns off. Release the remote button and the left LED will turn on. 5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 for button #2 and #3 in numerical order, for the first mode. After button #3 is programmed, the SK1 will automatically switch over to second mode and you can program button #1, #2 and #3 for the next 3 functions by repeating step 3 and 4. 6) When programming is complete, both LEDs will flash 3 times. This indicates an automatic program exit. Do not stop more than 7 seconds while programming or there will be an automatic program exit and you will have to start over at step number 1 above. Do not turn off ignition before the automatic exit or you will be required to start over at step 1 above.
Step C: Testing and placement of IR emitter
1) Test the SK1 by holding its IR LED (Blue LED on the end of 4 lead) close to the stereo and verify that it works properly by pressing the buttons on the shift knob. The right LED will flash when it is sending an IR command. Press the Mode button once to switch to 2nd mode to control the next 3 functions. The SK1 will automatically revert back to the 1st mode, 2 seconds after there is no button activity. The left LED will stay lit in 2nd mode and turn off when it returns automatically to the 1st mode. 2) After you confirm operation of aftermarket stereo, you may install the IR LED. Experiment with various locations for mounting the IR LED. Try along the top front and /or bottom of the stereo as well as its sides. You can also try behind the dome light lens. The black LED bezel can be removed by carefully prying on the two side clips and pulling it off the LED. The bezel mounts from the front panel while the led snaps into the bezel from behind the panel. 3) The IR LED can be replaced with most common IR LED, like Radio Shacks # 276-143. The longest lead of the IR LED connects to the red wire of the 4 cable and the short lead of the IR LED connects to the black wire.

Example

1) Assigning stereo IR commands to gear knob buttons
1st mode: 1 = Volume down, 2 = Volume up, 3 = Mute 2nd mode: 1 = Track down, 2 = Track up, 3 = Source
The SK1 will only work with remotes that use a 38 kHz to 40 kHz carrier frequency. Please consult with the owners manual or manufacture of the device to determine if the remote is compatible with the SK1.
