CUSTOMIZING YOUR ON-SCREEN AUXILIARY SWITCHES

The on-screen auxiliary switches on your vehicle’s center display let you quickly activate your aftermarket accessory* controls virtually on the go, without a hard button. You can create custom labels and choose icons for the switches to personalize the experience.


CUSTOMIZING THE AUXILIARY SWITCHES

To customize an auxiliary switch:

  1. While the vehicle is in PARK, tap the Off-Road App icon on the center display.
  2. Open the Aux controls from within the app.
  3. Tap the Edit Mode icon (a pencil) in the lower left corner of the display to enter Edit Mode.
  4. Tap the switch you want to customize.
  5. From here, you can type in a new label for the switch by tapping on the name field. To save your update, close the keyboard.
  6. To change the icon, tap a new one from the list.
  7. You can customize additional functionality using the checkbox-style options on the screen. Additional options include:
    1. Turn on only while button is held down: When you select this option, the switch will only operate while your finger holds the virtual button down. This may be useful for accessories that only need to be turned on for short periods of time.
    2. Turn on parking lights while switch is on: Selecting this option will allow your parking lights to automatically turn on while the switch is in use. This may be useful for a light bar, because it will help ensure your vehicle remains visible while driving in low light conditions with the headlights off.
  8. To save your customizations, tap the Back button.

Note: The on-screen auxiliary switches require the accessory touch-screen control switches (available for purchase).


DISPLAYING YOUR AUXILIARY SWITCHES

There are a few ways to display your auxiliary switches on the screen. Choose from:

  • AUX Control Panel: Select the Aux button in the Off-Road App. The Aux Control Panel will show the switches in their largest possible size, which may be ideal when you need quick access to your Aux switches, especially while driving on rough terrain that makes it difficult for your fingers to accurately tap small buttons.
  • Pro View: Select the Display icon (showing three displays) in the Off-Road App. Pro View takes over the entire display, showing three widgets and Aux switches at the same time. This is a great feature if you need your widgets and Aux switches at the same time, in case you need to activate/deactivate an upfit accessory fast (e.g., if you need to quickly manage the light bar for oncoming trail traffic).
  • Card View: Swipe left or right on the left-hand side of the infotainment screen while in the customizable home page to bring the Off-Road content into view.

For your security, please don’t include personal info such as phone number, address or credit card details.

Q&AS

Can I assign an accessory to a different Aux switch button from the touch screen?

No. The virtual Aux buttons are programmed directly to the physical electrical port, which accessories are connected to. If you want to relocate an accessory from AUX 5 to AUX 2, for example, you would need to change how your accessory is wired.
