GM Produces some vehicles with an 11Bit Radio which look identical, but are not compatible with this unit.
If your Vehicle is not listed below, contact Rosen Technical Support BEFORE YOU START to confirm
compatibility:
Buick: Enclave – Lucerne
Chevrolet: Avalanche – Equinox – Impala – Silverado – Suburban – Tahoe – Traverse
Pontiac: Torrent
GMC: Acadia – Sierra – Yukon
Saturn: Outlook – Vue
Note: The Rosen Unit backlighting is Blue/Green which matches most vehicles, however some vehicles use Red
backlighting. Rosen does not offer a GM Navigation System with Red Backlighting at this time.

3 Make sure you have the tools you will need
These common items are needed to complete this installation:
·Digital multi-meter (DMM)
·#2 Phillips screwdriver
·Panel removing tools
·1/4” drive sockets are often needed for dashboard and trim disassembly
·Torx or Allen-drive wrenches if they are used on any panels you will be removing
·A CD or DVD in good condition for testing the system
Standard installation parts you may need include wire, wire ties, wire crimp connectors or solder, electrical insulating tape,
and foam tape. Installation of aftermarket automotive electronics also often requires access to special parts. It is a good
idea to have a source for these common installation parts.
4 Inspect the vehicle and plan your work
CHECK THE BATTERY
Test the battery voltage to make sure it’s fully charged and inspect battery terminals for tightness and any corrosion. This
only takes seconds and can save hours of troubleshooting later. A fully charged battery should have a voltage reading of
approximately 13.2 VDC.
5 Turn the Vehicle OFF or Disconnect the Battery
TURN THE VEHICLE OFF BEFORE STARTING
Be sure to turn the vehicle OFF before starting, and keep the vehicle OFF until the installation is fully completed BEFORE
the vehicle is turned on.
Note: Failure to follow these instructions may cause the AIRBAG FAULT SENSOR to become enabled. Fault
Sensors which have been enabled will require the Dealer Service Department to reset them.
Dealerships often charge a significant fee to reset the Fault Sensor.
New Vehicles RARELY have a fully charged battery. This can cause many system malfunctions.
Keep the Vehicle OFF while the Radio is disconnected to avoid a potential Airbag Sensor Fault
