• Connect the Gray wire to the right front positive speaker output.
• Connect the Gray/Black wire to the right front negative speaker output.
• Connect the White wire to the left front positive speaker output.
• Connect the White/Black wire to the left front negative speaker output.
• If the aftermarket radio has a mute wire, connect the Brown wire to it. If the mute wire is
not connected, the radio will turn off when OnStar is activated.
The following (3) wires are for multimedia/navigation radios that require these wires.
• Connect the Light Green wire to the parking brake wire.
• Connect the Blue/Pink wire to the speed sense wire.
• Connect the Green/Purple wire to the reverse wire.

CONNECTIONS (CONT.) I N S TALL ATI ON
With the key in the off position:
1. Connect the 16-pin harness with stripped leads, and the AXGMLN-09 harness, into the
AXGMLN-09 interface.
2. If an AXSWC (sold separately) will be used, do not connect it until the AXGMLN-09 is
programmed and fully functional.
Attention! Do not connect the AXGMLN-09 harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle just yet.
For the steps below, the L.E.D. located inside the AXGMLN-09 interface can only be seen while
active. The interface does not need to be opened to see the L.E.D.
1. Start the vehicle.
2. Connect the AXGMLN-09 harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle. The L.E.D. will initially
be Green to indicate the interface is powered.
Note: For the Equinox and Malibu, use part number AXEXH-GM09 (sold separately) to
extend the wiring harness to the right of the glovebox where the radio brain is located at.
3. After a few seconds the L.E.D. will turn on solid Red while the interface automatically programs
to the vehicle. The radio will shut off at this point. This process should take 5 to 30 seconds .
4. After the interface is programmed, the L.E.D. will turn on solid Green, and the radio will
come back on, indicating programming was successful.
5. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation, before reassembling the dash.
Note: The vehicle must be running for the factory camera to power on.
6. If the interface fails to function, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
12-pin AXSWC harness & 3.5mm jack:
The 12-pin AXSWC harness & 3.5mm jack are to be used with an AXSWC (sold separately) to
retain steering wheel audio controls. If the AXSWC is not being used, disregard this harness
and 3.5mm jack. If it is to be used, please refer to the AXSWC instructions for radio connections
and programming. Disregard the harness that comes with the AXSWC.
