The RP5-GM11 interface allows the replacement of a factory radio in select General Motors vehicles with Class II radios.
Using this interface will retain factory features such as OnStar, steering wheel controls (SWC), warning chimes, Rear

RP5-GM11 also provides data bus driven outputs such as retained accessory power (RAP), vehicle speed signal (VSS),
illumination, reverse trigger and parking brake.
1.These instructions only apply to R.2.2.6.13 or later revisions. The revision info can be found on a small white sticker on the
interface and packaging.
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 next page 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 to different buttons. The SWC can always be restored to default settings by pressing

for the SWC assignments to make sense. Whatever you assign as aftermarket volume commands will also be the
OnStar volume commands.
4.The aftermarket radio must have an auxiliary input in order for the factory RSE audio to be retained through the cabin speakers.
5.RSC buttons that are identical to the SWC will mimic the SWC one for one.

4. Ifthe aftermarketradio is equipped with an auxiliary inputand you wish to retain the factory RSE audio, plug the RCA
connectors from the secondary harness into the radios auxiliary input.
5. With the ignition off and the driver door opened: Connectthe interface to the vehicle’s harness(es). Connecting the
interface with the ignition on can cause erratic behavior. Please make sure the ignition is off and the driver door is opened
when performing this step.
6. Plug the CMX chime module in if necessary (Ifthe vehicle chimes when the radio is removed the CMX is notnecessary).
PLEASE NOTE: In order to getthe bestpossible sound outofthe CMX, please mountit in a place free and clear ofany

7. The
Mute loop (if notcut) will turn the accessory outputoff when an OnStar or Bluetooth call is made or received. Ifthe
aftermarketradio has a mute input, cutthis loop and connectthe outer brown wire to the mute input.
8. Connectthe SWCwire according to the charton page 1 (aftermarketradio MUST supporta wired remote input).
9. Ifyou wish to reassign functions to the SWCfollow the programming instructions on the nextpage.
IMPORTANT! The interface comes pre-programmed for the functions listed in the chartbelow and does notrequire programming
unless you wish to re-assign the SWCfunctions to differentbuttons. The SWCcan always be restored to defaultsettings by

The factory RSE system will function independently from the aftermarketradio. The unit will power up and pass audio through
the headphones as long as the vehicle’s ignition is on. Ifyou wish to pass audio from the RSE to the aftermarketradio you must
connectthe RCAs from the 12-pin connector to the aftermarketradios auxiliary input. Selectthe aftermarketradios auxiliary input

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOUBLE DIN RADIOS
When installing a high-power double-DIN radio, we recommend making the following connections on the
RPS
harness to ensure the interface and radio will perform correctly. Failure to do these steps, may result
in
loss
of
accessory power output from the RadioPRO module.
During this modification you will add two new wire leads, providing additional power and ground paths for the
aftermarket radio. These wires will remove the high power demand from the
RPS
module, and ensure proper
12 volt accessory operation.
NOTE:
We advise making all connection points secure by soldering or usi
ng
crimp terminals, and insulating appropriately.
'
Connection points ("A" and "B") at the vehicle connector(s) on the RadioPR05 harness
1) Locate the Yellow
12
volt constant power wire
by the vehicle connector
on
the
RPS
harness.

Carefully cut the insulation, and expose a small portion of the wire.
We will call this connection point "Point

2) Locate the Black ground wire

harness.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOUBLE DIN RADIOS
Adding additional
15"
wires
to
jump power
and
ground
5) Connect a 15" lead of Yellow wire (any color will work) to Point
A.
6) Connect the other end ofthis wire to the Yellow input wire
on
the micro relay (Point C)
Ensure your connection points are insulated properly.
7) Connect a 15" lead of Black wire (any color will work) to Point
B.
8) Connect the other end ofthis wire to the Black input wire
on
the micro relay (Point
D)
Ensure your connection points are insulated properly.
Once the constant power and ground leads are connected and effectively bypass the RadioPR05
module, the modification
is
complete.
At this point the module can
be
installed into the vehicle per normal installation instruction.
