The Pink wire is not used in this application.

Installing the Interface:

1. With all the connections completed, plug the 16 and 22 pin harnesses into the interface.
2. Plug the 44 pin GM harness into the vehicle side harness, and plug the aftermarket radio harness into the aftermarket radio.
3. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.

Chime Volume Adjustment

1) With car on, shut off car and leave keys in ignition. Open the car door and leave it open. Chimes will be heard.
2) Wait 10 seconds, then with a small screwdriver adjust the potentiometer fully counterclockwise (all the way left), then clockwise to raise chime level and counterclockwise to lower the chime level.
3) When the volume is at the desired level, remove the keys from the ignition. This will lock the chime volume at its current level.

Audio Level Adjustment

1) Start your vehicle and turn on the radio having audio playing.

2) Turn your aftermarket radio's volume up 34 of the way.
3) With a small screwdriver adjust the potentiometer clockwise to raise the audio level and counterclockwise to lower the audio level.

OnStar Level Adjustment

To adjust the OnStar volume level find the Black/Yellow wire on the 16-pin harness. Push the blue OnStar button, while the voice is speaking tap the Black/Yellow wire to ground. Once the volume is set it will stay at that volume until the Black/Yellow wire is tapped to ground again. This can be set during installation and then left alone. If user adjustment is desired, the customer may also tap "Volume Up" or down on the steering wheel (if equipped) to adjust the OnStar level.
