1. From the 22-way harness:
Connect the 3.5mm jack to the aftermarket radio’s steering wheel control input (if equipped).
Note: If using Eclipse,Kenwood,or select JVC radios use the supplied female 3.5mm adaptor.
 • ForKenwoodandselectJVCradios:Connect the SWC wire (normally Blue/
Yellow) to the Brown wire of the ASWC. Isolate and tape the Brown/White wire
because it will not be used.
Note: Some of the newer Kenwood radios will auto detect as a JVC. If this is the
case, you can use a 12k ohm resistor (included) in line between the Blue/Yellow
and Brown wire of the female 3.5mm jack during programming only. Or manually
set the radio type, refer to the radio programming section of this manual.
 • ForEclipse:Connect the Eclipse SWC wires (normally Brown and
Brown/Black) to the Brown and Brown/White wires of the ASWC. Brown goes
to Brown and Brown/White goes to Brown/Black. Sometimes this is reversed,
reverse the wires if needed.
 • ForMetraOEradios:Connect the SWC Key 1 wire (Gray) to the Brown wire
of the ASWC.
For all other radios, plug in the male 3.5mm connector of the ASWC into the back of the
aftermarket radio designated for an external SWC control interface.
Please refer to the aftermarket radio manual if in doubt where the 3.5mm connector of the
ASWC should go.
The Black/Yellow wire is not used in this application.
2. From the 30-way harness:
• Connect the Black wire to the ground wire of the aftermarket radio.
• Connect the RCA’s to the AUX in on the aftermarket radio (if equipped).
• Connect the Yellow wire to the constant wire of the aftermarket radio.
• If the vehicle is amplified disconnect the 4-pin harness located between the 30-way
and 22-way connector and connect the supplied 4-pin to 4-pin resistor pad. If the
vehicle is not amplified connect the two 4-pins for the 30 and 22-way together.

1. Turn on the ignition.
2. The LED will begin to blink rapidly.
3. Turn on the aftermarket radio.
4. The following buttons must be pressed in order:
• Each button pressed will be acknowledged by the LED steadily.
If any of the above buttons are not present, substitute with Volume Up. For example,
if a vehicle does not Band and Fan Up, you would press Volume Up, Seek Up, Volume
Up, PTT/MUTE, Volume Up.
• After you have pressed five buttons, the LED will turn off.
If you press the buttons incorrectly, turn off the ignition and repeat the above
steps. If you do it wrong, it can be done again by pressing the volume up button for
15 seconds until the LED goes into fast blink mode again.
Testing the GMOS-100
• Turn the ignition on, and then turn the aftermarket radio on.
• Push the OnStar button, the radio should turn off (radio will mute if mute wire is
connected) and you should hear OnStar.
• Push the OnStar cancel button and the radio should come back on.
Chime Volume Adjustment
1. With car on, shut off car and leave keys in ignition. Open the car door and leave it open.
Chimes will be heard.
2. Wait 10 seconds, then with a small screwdriver adjust the potentiometer fully
counterclockwise (all the-way left), then clockwise to raise chime level and
counterclockwise to lower the chime level.
3. When the volume is at the desired level, remove the keys from the ignition. This will
lock the chime volume at its current level.

Audio Level Adjustment
1. Start your vehicle and turn on the radio having audio playing.
2. Turn your aftermarket radio’s volume up ¾ of the-way.
3. With a small screwdriver adjust the potentiometer clockwise to raise the audio level
and counterclockwise to lower the audio level.
4. Once at desired level your audio adjustment is complete.
OnStar Level Adjustment
• To adjust the OnStar volume level find the Black/Yellow wire on the 16-pin harness.
• Push the blue OnStar button, while the voice is speaking tap the Black/Yellow wire
to ground.
• Once the volume is set it will stay at that volume until the Black/Yellow wire is tapped
to ground again. This can be set during installation and then left alone.
• If user adjustment is desired, the customer may also tap volume up or down on the
steering wheel (if equipped) to adjust the OnStar level.
Manually Setting Radio Type:
If the LED flashes do not match the radio connected you must then manually program the
ASWC to tell it what radio it is supposed to be connected to.
To manually program the aftermarket radio:
1. Turn on the ignition. Then press and hold the “Volume Down” button on the steering
wheel control until the LED goes solid red and then release the “Volume Up” button.
2. Using the listing below press the “Volume Up” button the number of times (number is
to the left of the radio name) needed to program the correct radio type to the ASWC:
1 Eclipse
2 Kenwood
3 Clarion “Type 1”
4 Sony/Dual
5 JVC
6 Jensen/Pioneer
7 Alpine
8 Visteon
9 Valor
10 Clarion “Type 2”
11 Metra OE

3. Press and hold the “Volume Down” button for 5 seconds to finish programming.
The LED will then go off.
4. After a few seconds, the LED will then blink the number of times corresponding
to the radio type. Verify that the number of blinks are the same number of times the
“Volume Up” button had been pressed.
Remapping the SWC buttons
Let’s say you have already programmed the GMOS-100 to your vehicle and radio. The
scenario is: Now you would like to change the button assignment for the steering wheel
controls (SWC), such as programming the “Seek Up” function to be assigned to the “Mute”
button. Before beginning remapping:
• The GMOS-100 must have detected the vehicle and radio. That it recognizes that
it is attached before the remapping of any buttons.
• You can only start the remapping of the steering wheel controls process after the
ignition has been on for 20 seconds.
• After 20 seconds of turning the ignition on press and hold down the
“Volume Up” button for at least 25 seconds.
• Note, if during the remapping process no button is pushed for 30 seconds the
remapping process is aborted and it will revert to the original settings.
Now let’s begin the remapping process:
1. Ideally have the GMOS-100 visible so you can see the LED flashes. It is recommended
for visual confirmation of button recognition/programming.
2. Turning off the radio is recommended.
3. After 20 seconds of turning the ignition on press and hold down the
“Volume Up” button for at least 25 seconds.
4. The LED will light up solid red. Release “Volume Up” and the LED will go out.
“Volume Up” has now been programmed.
Continued on next page

5. Next, continue the process of remapping buttons to the SWC in order of the list below.
If you would like to skip a command press the “Volume Up” button on the steering
wheel (this will tell the GMOS-100 to skip the command and go to the next).
Note: Not all radios will have all of these commands. Please refer to the radio’s owners
manual for specific commands recognized by that radio.
For instance, the next command to be mapped is the “Volume Down” command.
Let’s say you want the “Mode” button on your steering wheel to be the “Volume Down”
command. Hold down the “Mode” button till the LED lights up solid red and then
release it. Now the “Mode” button on the steering wheel is “Volume Down”.
6. After the last button is programmed on your steering wheel (you do not have to go
through the whole list), hold down the “Volume Up” button for at least 10 seconds then
the LED will go out.
----- OR -----
After the 18th button is programmed and/or skipped the LED will go out and remapping
is completed.
If after remapping the SWC and you want to revert the SWC back to its original settings
follow these steps below:
Resetting or Forcing Auto Learn on the SWC
1) Within the first 20 seconds of turning the ignition on. Press and hold down the
original “Volume Up” button for at least 25 seconds.
2) The LED will blink rapidly.
3) Release the “Volume Up” button and wait until the led goes on solid.
4) After the LED goes off the original steering wheel control settings will be restored.
