Installation

•Aftermarket radio connections are made at the 20-pin OS-RADPWRAUDIO connector. A detailed description of these wires is on the next page.

•If the vehicle has Rear Seat Audio Controls and the XM tuner is serviced plug the 8 pin XM Audio output cable into the OS-4. The RCA cables will feed the XM audio into the aftermarket radios AUX input (if available). The XM RCA cables are not necessary for Rear Seat Audio but will allow the headunit to play the XM audio through the cabin.

•Factory installed audio options such as Bose, Harman Kardon or Pioneer amplifi ers will determine the 16-pin OS-GMLAN29 connection. If the vehicle has a factory installed amplifi er use the Factory Amplifi er Audio location. If a factory installed amplifi er is not present use the Non-Amplifi ed Factory Audio location.

•The OS-NAV connector has VSS, Reverse and Parking Brake outputs as well as the OnStar push button volume adjustment input.

•If SWC buttons are present and retained using a radio specifi c SWC interface use the provided plug. No other connections or splices are necessary.

•The CMX retains all factory warning and safety chimes. If the vehicle chimes when the radio is removed the CMX is not needed.

•The Mute loop (if not cut) will turn the ACC. output off when an OnStar or Bluetooth call is made or received. If the aftermarket radio has a mute input cut this loop and connect the outer brown wire to the mute input.
