• 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.

12-pin pre-wired AXSWC harness:

- This harness is to be used along with the optional AXSWC (not included) to retain steering wheel audio controls. If the AXSWC is not being used, disregard this harness. If it will be used, please refer to the AXSWC instructions for radio connections and programming.

Note: Disregard the harness that comes with the AXSWC.

Installing the AXGMLN-08 Adjusting the AXGMLN-08

With the key in the off position:

• Connect the 16-pin harness with stripped leads, and the AXGMLN-08 harness, into the interface.

Initializing the AXGMLN-08

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.

OnStar Level Adjustment

• Press the OnStar button to activate it.
• While OnStar is speaking, press the VOLUME UP or VOLUME DOWN button 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 AXGMLN-08 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.
