PAC GM1A-RST Quick Start Manual

GM1A-RST
Introduction and Features
The GM1A-RST interface allows the replacement of a factory radio in select General Motors vehicles with the Class II Data-Bus.
Using this interface will retain factory features such as Steering Wheel Controls (SWC), Rear Seat Control (RSC), OnStar, warning
chimes and the factory Bose amplifier when the original radio is removed. The GM1A-RST provides data bus driven outputs such
as retained accessory power (RAP), vehicle speed signal (VSS), illumination, reverse trigger and parking brake. You can also add
multiple camera inputs to your aftermarket radio with Data-Bus controlled automatic activation (front camera only) by connecting
a VS41 into the expansion port on the GM1A-RST.
Important Notes
1. The included chime speaker should be used when: The vehicle has a standard Bose system (UQ7), the vehicle does not have
a factory amplifier at all, or if you are connecting an aftermarket amplifier to the cabin speakers.
2. The Programming Button and Adjustment Dial on the side of the interface have multiple functions. Please see Page 3 for
more details.
3. Aftermarket radios with a 2-wire resistive based SWC circuit will not have default button assignments programmed. Please
refer to the owners manual of the radio you are installing to find out the proper SWC programming procedure.
4. Compatible in both Premium Bose (Y91 / UQA) and Standard Bose systems.
5. Real time speaker fading on Premium factory amplified systems (Y91 / UQA) is only supported with the "amplified output"
connection of the GM1A-RST.
6. When using real time speaker fading (Premium Bose only), if the fader setting is biased more to the front or rear, as the radio
turns on the sound may begin at the default setting and then quickly transition to your custom setting.
7. Aftermarket radio features such as High Pass Filters (crossovers), DSP or "Network Mode" will interfere with proper fader
function (Premium Bose only). In order for the GM1A-RST's fader function to work, the audio from the aftermarket radio's
output must match so it can compare the front and rear audio levels and determine the proper fader setting for the factory
amplifier.
8. When used in conjunction with the add on camera controller (VS41) the GM1A-RST will only provide Data-Bus controlled
automatic activation for the front camera. Please refer to the vehicle specific VS41 instructions for more detail.
