Radio Replacement

 & Steering Wheel Control Interface 

with OnStar Retention for General Motors Vehicles

Pacific Accessory Corporation

Important Notes

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. 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 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 (for windows PC)

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 or utilize the 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 flash 4 times.

5.  

The LED will flash whenever a SWC button is pressed.
