Bluetooth Radio Microphone
On units equipped with a Bluetooth® stereo, there are some basic operational checks that can be made when there is a complaint
with the system operation.
The Bluetooth® audio comes out of the Front Left speaker.
Follow these steps to make sure the radio is setup correctly.
•Determine how many channels the vehicle has.
◦Our vehicles stereos will have a 2 channel system, a 4 channel system, or a 4 channel premium that has 6, 8 or 10 speakers.
◦You only need to know if its 2 channel or 4 channel, based on the number of speakers are in the vehicle.
•Once you determine if it’s a 2 channel or 4 channel vehicle you have to make sure the radio is set to the appropriate mode (2
channel or 4 channel).
1.Press "Title/Menu" button for 2 seconds (until you hear a beep) to enter "main menu"
2.Press "UP" until you get to "Speakers", then press "OK"
3.Press up to select "2CH" or "4CH" to correspond to the number of speakers in the vehicle.
4.Press "ESC" a few times to exit out of the "main menu"
•Now you want to verify the speaker location.
1.Press the Volume knob in for 2 seconds to bring up the audio menu
2.Turn the Volume knob (left or right) until you see "FADE" (note if you have it on 2 channel mode then there will not be a fade
option, if so skip to step 4).
3.Press the Volume knob to select "FADE" then turn the knob to the left until the Fade is only on the front speakers, then press
"OK"
4.Turn the Volume knob until you see "Balance" and press the knob to select it.
5.Turn the volume knob left until the Balance is only on the left speaker.
•You have now isolated the left front speaker. If you hear audio then the radio is installed correctly, if not then there is a wiring
issue.
If you determine there is a wiring issue, verify all wiring is properly connected and has continuity from the radio to the speaker or
microphone.
The Microphone should have approx 7.2v - 8.8v power supply.
Attached is the wiring diagram and photos relating to the factory installed Bluetooth® system.

Bluetooth Wiring Schematic

Radio Reception(Including SAT)
Customer may have one of the following concerns:
1. Cant identify XM radio ID#
To identify XM ID perform the procedure below:
Select XM as source, then tune to channel 0 , "RADIO ID" label alternates with the SXM radio eight-digit code.
2.Poor radio reception
Resolution:
If poor radio reception is experienced, the mounting location needs to be spot-faced from theinsideof the cab.
Remove the Nut and Star washer
Use a die grinder and remove the paint (spot face) around the antenna base. You do not need to remove the antenna.
Apply dielectric grease to the spot faced area.
Re­install the star washer and nut.

Picture below shows location near the passengers kick panel under the IP. Builds after mid-December have the area spot-faced.

3.Not listed
If the customer has a different concern related to radio reception, proceed with the checklist
Please print the check list below and attach to warranty claim. In the event the radio is replaced, the radio will be called back
for review, it is required to submit checklist with warranty claim, and radios which are found to be operating will be
charged back to the dealer.

iPOD Issues checklist

Cd Player issue
The player can be used for CD and MP3 audio.
With the vehicle on, insert a disc into the slot, label side up. The player pulls it in and begins playing.
Most models are capable of playing:
Most audio CDs.
CD­R.
CD­RW.
MP3 or unprotected WMA formats.
When playing any compatible recordable disc, the sound quality can be reduced due to disc quality, the method of recording, the
quality of the music that has been recorded, or the way the disc has been handled.
There can be increased skipping, difficulty in recording tracks, difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting.
Verify in operator manual of disc compatibility.
If these problems occur, check the disc for damage or try a known good disc.

Sleeper Radio Displays no Link
Applies To : LoneStar,

ProStar, PayStar, 9400, 9900

DESCRIPTION
Complaint that the Sleeper Radio Control (08RJG) Displays "No Link"
SYMPTOMS
• Sleeper Radio Control (08RJG) Displays "No Link"
• No radio control from Sleeper
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Verify radio is powering up and can be controlled by the knobs and switches on the front of the radio. If not, troubleshoot
power to radio or replace radio if necessary.

3. Verify sleeper radio control is powering up. If not, troubleshoot power circuits to the unit, replace sleeper radio control if
power and grounds are good and unit will not power up.
4. Try to force sleeper radio control to "sync" with radio.
◦ Turn key to off position.
◦ With radio on, pull fuse F2-E, Radio, for a few seconds, then reinstall the fuse.
◦ With radio off, disconnect sleeper radio control , leave loose for a couple seconds, reconnect and turn on radio with
sleeper radio control .
◦ This should force the sleeper radio control to sync with the radio. If not, check integrity of data link.
5. Check the integrity of the data link circuits between the radio and the sleeper radio control . (Refer to circuit Diagram)
◦ This data link is similar to the other J1939 data links on the vehicle.
◦ With no power applied, there should be 60 Ohms of resistance between the circuits. If this is not correct, there may
be an open circuit or missing terminating resistor. The terminating resistor for the remote is in a jumper harness
between the sleeper radio control and the truck harness. (See picture below)
◦ With power, there should by approximately 5 Volts read across the data link circuits.
◦ If problems persist or reoccur, it may be necessary to relocate the terminating resistors so that one is as close to the
radio as possible and the other is a close to the remote control as possible.
6. If all else fails it may be necessary to replace the remote or the radio.

Citizens Band Radio Antenna Application/Performance
The quality and range of CB transmission is largely dependent on the "impedance match" of the antenna, cables, and connections
to the CB radio. The antennas used by International are designed and matched to be used with specific truck models and should
not be used in a particular installation simply because it fits the mounting hole or has the right mast color for the particular truck in
question. Use only the correct antenna by part number for the current production vehicles listed below.

Radio Displays Amp Fault
Customer may state the radio display says "AMP Fault". If the concern is verified, check with the customer to see if any aftermarket equipment has been
installed recently. Check the ground for the amp located in the sleeper. The ground stud is located on the driver side near the sleeper fuse box.

Radio Steering wheel controls diagnostics

Triage
Customer may state the steering wheel controls, specifically volume up or down, for the radio may be inoperative or work
intermittently. The radio steering wheel controls are voltage sensitive and any voltage drop between the input to the radio and the
input to the radio steering wheel controls may cause the controls not to work. It is important to note from the customer when the
concern is experienced.
Diagnostic Procedures
Please follow the attached procedure to check voltages to pinpoint the problem. Most of the time, the radio is not the issue, rather
there is a wiring problem causing a voltage drop between the 2 inputs to the radio
