- Connect Aftermarket Radio Harness: Connect the wires from the aftermarket radio's harness to the corresponding wires on the PAC Aftermarket Radio Connection Harness. Match wire colors and functions (e.g., constant 12V, accessory 12V, ground, speaker wires). Solder and heat shrink, or use high-quality crimp connectors for secure connections.
- Connect Vehicle Specific Harness: Plug the PAC Vehicle Specific Wiring Harness into the factory radio harness connectors in the vehicle's dashboard.
- Tilslut grænseflademodul: Plug the Aftermarket Radio Connection Harness and the Vehicle Specific Wiring Harness into the PAC OS-2X Interface Module. Ensure all connectors are fully seated.

- Test funktionalitet: Before reassembling the dashboard, temporarily reconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal. Turn on the ignition and test the aftermarket radio's basic functions (power, sound, fader/balance). Verify that OnStar functionality and all warning chimes are working correctly.
- Sikre komponenter: Once all functions are verified, disconnect the battery again. Secure the PAC OS-2X module and all wiring harnesses behind the dashboard, ensuring they do not interfere with any moving parts or pinch points.

- Final Battery Connection: Tilslut den negative batteripol igen.
6. Betjening
The PAC OS-2X interface operates automatically once installed. Its primary function is to translate vehicle data signals for the aftermarket radio and maintain factory features.
6.1 OnStar Retention
The interface retains full OnStar functionality. When an OnStar call is initiated or received, the audio will be routed through the vehicle's speakers, and the aftermarket radio will mute or switch to the OnStar audio source, depending on the radio's capabilities.
6.2 Warning Chimes
All factory warning chimes (e.g., door ajar, seatbelt, key in ignition) are retained and will sound through the vehicle's speakers as they did with the factory radio.
6.3 Steering Wheel Controls (Optional)
If connected and configured, the interface allows the factory steering wheel audio controls to operate the aftermarket radio. Refer to your aftermarket radio's manual for programming instructions if necessary.
7. Vedligeholdelse
The PAC OS-2X interface is designed for maintenance-free operation. No user-serviceable parts are inside the module.
- Ensure all wiring connections remain secure. Loose connections can lead to intermittent functionality.
- Hold området omkring interfacemodulet fri for overdreven støv eller fugt.
- Do not attempt to open or repair the module.
