- Yellow: 12V Constant Power
- Red: 12V Accessory Power (Retained Accessory Power - RAP)
- Black: Ground
- Orange: Illumination
- Blue/White: Amplifier Turn-On (if applicable)
- Speaker Wires: Connect to corresponding speaker outputs on the aftermarket radio (e.g., White to Front Left +, White/Black to Front Left -).
- Navigation Outputs: Connect the appropriate wires from the GMOS-LAN-01 to your navigation unit (e.g., Reverse, Parking Brake, VSS/Speed Sense).
Ensure all connections are secure using crimp connectors or solder and heat shrink tubing. Avoid loose connections to prevent electrical issues.
3. Connecting the Interface Module
- Plug the GMOS-LAN-01 wiring harness into the GMOS-LAN-01 interface module.
- Connect the vehicle-specific harness from the GMOS-LAN-01 module to the factory wiring harness in your vehicle.
4. Testing and Reassembly
- Reconnect the vehicle's battery.
- Turn on the vehicle's ignition and test the aftermarket radio's functionality, including audio, OnStar, chimes, and RAP.
- Verify that all safety and warning chimes are functioning correctly.
- If all functions are verified, carefully reassemble the dash components.
Operating Instructions
The GMOS-LAN-01 interface operates automatically once installed correctly, ensuring the seamless integration of your aftermarket radio with your vehicle's existing systems.
- OnStar Functionality: OnStar will function as it did with the OEM radio. The volume for OnStar can be adjusted via the interface settings (refer to the specific instructions provided with the physical product for adjustment methods, typically involving dip switches or programming sequences).
- Chime Retention: All factory safety and warning chimes will be retained. The volume of these chimes is also adjustable through the interface.
- Retained Accessory Power (RAP): The RAP feature will continue to function, allowing the radio to operate for a short period after the ignition is turned off, until a door is opened.
- Navigation Outputs: If a navigation radio is installed, the GMOS-LAN-01 provides the necessary signals for its proper operation.
