You have to pull it towards you, wait a half a second & give it a voice command. If you're listening to FM, tune to a station (not101.1), pull the lever & say "One oh one point one" & see what happens. Or say "CD" or say "AM"

If nothing happens either its dead or not in there.

If you look at the right side of the steering column you will see a nub with a hole plug in it at about the 1 oclock position on the column. Thats where the lever would be screwed into.
