Connections to be made

From the 16-pin harness with stripped leads to the aftermarket radio:

• Connect the Red wire to the accessory wire.
• If the aftermarket radio has an illumination wire, connect the Orange/White wire to it.
  Note: If the Orange wire on the AXGM-07 harness is populated on the factory side, use that wire instead.
• If the aftermarket radio has a mute wire, connect the Brown wire to it. If the mute wire is not connected, the radio will turn off when OnStar is activated.
• Connect the Gray wire to the right front positive speaker output.
• Connect the Gray/Black wire to the right front negative speaker output.
• Connect the White wire to the left front positive speaker output.
• Connect the White/Black wire to the left front negative speaker output.

The following (3) wires are only for multimedia/navigation radios that require these wires.

• Connect the Blue/Pink wire to the VSS/speed sense wire.
• Connect the Green/Purple wire to the reverse wire.
• Connect the Light Green wire to the parking brake wire.

From the AXGM-07 harness to the aftermarket radio:

• Connect the Black wire to the ground wire.
• Connect the Yellow wire to the battery wire.
• Connect the Blue/White wire to the power antenna wire.
• Connect the Green wire to the left rear positive speaker output.
• Connect the Green/Black wire to the left rear negative speaker output.
• Connect the Purple wire to the right rear positive speaker output.

Installing the AXGM-07

With the key in the off position:

• Connect the 16-pin harness with stripped leads, and the AXGM-07 harness, into the interface.
• Connect the AXGM-07 harness to the wiring harness in the vehicle.

Initializing the AXGM-07

Attention! If the interface loses power for any reason, the following steps will need to be performed again. Also, if installing an AXSWC connect it after you initialize and test the interface/radio, with the key in the off position.

- Turn the key (or push-to-start button) to the ignition position and wait until the radio comes on.

Note: If the radio does not come on within 60 seconds, turn the key to the off position, disconnect the interface, check all connections, reconnect the interface, and then try again.

- Turn the key to the off position, and then to the accessory position. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation, before reassembling the dash.

Adjusting the AXGM-07

Chime level adjustment:

• Turn the vehicle off but leave the keys in the ignition. Open the driver's door and leave it open; chimes will be heard.
• Wait 10 seconds, and then with a small flat-blade screwdriver, adjust the potentiometer clockwise to raise the chime level; counterclockwise to lower the chime level.

Note: The potentiometer is located on the side of the interface where the 16-pin harness with stripped leads is connected to.

- When the chime is at the desired level, remove the keys from the ignition. This will lock the chime level in at its current level.

OnStar level adjustment:

• Press the OnStar button to activate it.
• While OnStar is speaking, press the VOLUME UP or VOLUME DOWN buttons on the steering wheel to raise or lower the OnStar level.
• If the vehicle does not come equipped with steering wheel controls, locate the Black/Yellow wire on the AXGM-07 harness.
• While OnStar is speaking, tap the Black/Yellow wire to ground. Once the OnStar level is set, it will stay at that level until the Black/Yellow wire is tapped to ground again.
