## **How to program side panel touch buttons on UIS 7862S head units? (Sidebar button learning / Side touch keys configuration / UIS7862S panel setup)**

### Symptoms:

After installing a UIS 7862S platform Android head unit, users may need to calibrate, map, or reassign the touch-sensitive buttons located on the side panel (such as Home, Back, Volume Up/Down, Power, or Navigation shortcuts) to ensure they match personal preferences or respond correctly.

### Solution:

To successfully program and configure the side panel touch buttons on your UIS 7862S Android head unit, please follow these detailed steps:

* **Access System Settings**: Turn on your head unit, open the main application menu, and navigate to **Settings** -> **Car Settings** (or **System Settings** depending on the specific launcher version).

* **Navigate to Button Learning**: Locate and select the **Steering Wheel Learning** or **Panel Key Study** menu option. This interface handles both steering wheel controls and physical/touch panel buttons.

* **Clear Previous Settings**: Tap the **Reset** or clear option to wipe any old configurations and prepare the system for fresh calibration.

* **Map the Side Touch Keys**: Tap a desired function on the screen (such as Volume+, Home, or Back), then firmly press and hold the corresponding touch button on the side panel of your head unit for a few seconds until the system registers the signal (indicated by a color change or confirmation prompt on the display).

* **Save Configuration**: Repeat this pairing process for all remaining side panel keys sequentially, then tap **Save** to store your custom layout.
