The OS-4 is a plug and play interface that allows the replacement of a General Motors GMLAN factory radio. The OS-4 will

maintain operation of the OnStar® system in vehicles with Bose® audio systems, amplified audio systems and also audio

systems without external amplifiers . The OS-4 has on board switching that allow audio from the OnStar® system to play

through the two front factory speakers. This interface retains all warning chimes, audible turn signal indicators, Bluetooth

and the Vehicle Rear Parking Assist System (if equipped). The factory XM radio tuner can be controlled from the Steering
Wheel Controls (SWC) or Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) Controls. RSE headphone jacks will also remain active and are
designed for use with dual zone radios and the factory installed XM tuner. If the overhead LCD is present the IR headphone

system will also be active.

• Aftermarket radio connections are made at the 20-pin OS-RADPWRAUDIO connector.

A detailed description of these wires is on the next page.

• If the vehicle has Rear Seat Audio Controls and the XM tuner is serviced plug the 8 pin

XM Audio output cable into the OS-4. The RCA cables will feed the XM audio into the

aftermarket radios AUX input (if available). The XM RCA cables are not necessary for

Rear Seat Audio but will allow the headunit to play the XM audio through the cabin.

• Factory installed audio options such as Bose, Harman Kardon or Pioneer amplifiers

will determine the 16-pin OS-GMLAN29 connection. If the vehicle has a factory installed

amplifier use the Factory Amplifier Audio location. If a factory installed amplifier is not

present use the Non-Amplified Factory Audio location.

• The OS-NAV connector has VSS, Reverse and Parking Brake outputs as well as the

OnStar push button volume adjustment input.

• If SWC buttons are present and retained using a radio specific SWC interface use the

provided plug. No other connections or splices are necessary.

• The CMX retains all factory warning and safety chimes. If the vehicle chimes when the

radio is removed the CMX is not needed.

• The Mute loop (if not cut) will turn the ACC. output off when an OnStar or Bluetooth call

is made or received. If the aftermarket radio has a mute input cut this loop and connect

the outer brown wire to the mute input.
