PAC RP5-GM11 Manual

RP5-GM11

Introduction and Features

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.

Important Notes

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.
