The OS-311 is a plug and play interface that allows replacement of a General Motors GMLAN
maintain operation of the OnStar® system. The OS-311 has on board switching and audio amplifiers which allow audio
from the OnStar® system to play through the two front factory speakers when OnStar® is active. This interface retains
all warning chimes, the audible turn signal indicators, and provides a 12v R.A.P. (Retained Accessory Power) output
circuit.
• OnStar® active LED and Ignition on LED.
• Provides +12v switched accessory output. No more searching for switched +12v in fuse box or kick panel.
• Steering wheel radio controls can be retained to control the new radio by using the SWI - X, JACK, ECL or PS.
• New radio will operate with the vehicle RAP (Retained Accessory Power) circuit. The radio stays on after the key is turned off and stays on
for approximately 10 minutes or until the drivers door is opened.
1. The OS-311 does not retain the factory XM receiver. You will lose the XM option when the factory radio is replaced with an aftermarket
radio.
2. If you are not retaining the OnStar® system, use the C2R-GM11 instead of this OS-311 interface.
3. Built in Smart Mute Circuitry will play OnStar® audio through the front speakers while muting the radio or turning the radio off if a mute
input circuit is not present
