Introduction & Features

Wiring Connection Chart
Illustration / Schematic
The RP5-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 OnStar, Bluetooth, steering wheel
controls (SWC), and warning chimes when the original radio is removed. The RP5-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 from http://www.pac-audio.com/rmware/RP/index.html. Please make your vehicle
settings selections before removing the factory radio for optimal installation time.
2. The Answer/Voice & End/Mute buttons can be set to do the factory OnStar functions or given the ability to control the aftermarket radio. This
option can be found in the PAC Vehicle Settings program mentioned above in note one. The default setting for these buttons is to control the
factory OnStar. If these buttons are set to control the aftermarket radio, OnStar can still be accessed by using the mirror controls.
3. 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).
4. 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 to different buttons. 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.
5. The LED will ash whenever a SWC button is pressed.

Installation Steps
1.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.
2. Make all connections as described in the chart on page 1.
3. Plug the CMX chime module in if necessary (If the vehicle chimes when the radio is removed the CMX is not necessary). PLEASE NOTE:
In order to get the best possible sound out of the CMX please mount it in a place free and clear of any obstructions, preferably as close as
possible to the bottom of the dash pointing down toward the oor of the vehicle.
4. The Mute loop (if not cut) will turn the accessory 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.
5. Connect the SWC wire according to the chart on page 1 (aftermarket radio MUST support a wired remote input).
6. If you wish to reassign functions to the SWC follow the programming instructions in the next section.
IMPORTANT! The interface comes pre-programmed for the functions listed in the chart below and does not require programming
unless you wish to re-assign the SWC functions to different buttons. The SWC can always be restored to default settings by
pressing the program button on the side of the interface once and waiting for the timeout.
The Mute/End button has two functions. Pressing this button for less than 1.5 seconds will initiate the mute command. Pressing
this button for more than 1.5 seconds will initiate the end command. This dual function button can also be reprogrammed to
whatever features the customer chooses.
If you wish to re-assign the SWC functions, 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.

back on and the OnStar® LED will turn off. Pressing the Mute/OnStar® button on the steering wheel for 1.5 seconds will also
activate Onstar®.
5. Turn off vehicle & remove key. RAP will be active & keep the radio on for 10 minutes or until the drivers door is opened.
6. The LED & radio will turn off when RAP turns off or the drivers door is opened.
