Introduction & Features
Important Notes
Wiring Connection Chart
Illustration / Schematic
The RP4-GM41 interface allows the replacement of a factory radio in select General Motors vehicles with 29-bit LAN
v2 44-pin connector radios. Using this interface will retain factory features such as steering wheel controls (SWC) &
Warning Chimes when the original radio is removed. Use of this interface also allows you to program two radio functions
to each SWC button by using short press long press dual command functionality. The RP4-GM41 also provides data bus
driven outputs such as retained accessory power (RAP), vehicle speed sensor (VSS), illumination, reverse trigger and
parking brake.
1.Once the radio has been removed, the vehicle settings which are normally selected through the factory radio can be accessed by downloading
and installing the PAC Vehicle Settings program. Please make your vehicle settings selections before removing the factory radio for
optimal installation time.
2.The radio select rotary switch on the side of the interface must be adjusted to the proper radio setting before plugging the interface into the
vehicle (see below for setting chart).
3.The interface comes pre-programmed for all of the vehicles factory SWC functions and does not require programming unless you wish to
re-assign the SWC functions or utilize short press long press dual command functionality. The SWC can always be restored to default settings
by pressing and releasing the program button on the side of the interface once and waiting 7 seconds for the LED to ash 4 times.
4. The LED will ash whenever a SWC button is pressed.

Default Steering Wheel Control Programming
Optional Steering Wheel Control Programming
If you wish to re-assign the SWC functions, utilize the buttons that have no initial programming or utilize short press long press
dual command functionality, the interface must be programmed in the specic order shown in the chart below. If you come across
a function in the chart that your steering wheel does not have, or you do not want to program, press and release the program
button on the side of the interface to skip that function. The LED will ash off and on conrming that you have successfully skipped
that function and are ready to proceed to the next one.
Short Press Long Press Dual Command Functionality
This feature allows you to assign two aftermarket radio functions to each of the vehicles SWC buttons. It can be used with as
many of the buttons as the user likes or none at all. When this functionality is implemented, quickly pressing and releasing a SWC
button will initiate the short press command while pressing and holding a SWC button for longer than two seconds will initiate the
long press command. Please note that no long press commands are programmed by default. If you wish to assign dual command
functionality to the SWC please follow the programming steps on the next page.
