Frequently Asked Questions - GSR-FC05 VAIS Technology

What is the GSR-FC05 used for?

The GSR-FC05 is a universal interface that integrates a SiriusXM SXV300 tuner into your vehicle's factory radio, allowing you to control SiriusXM via the factory audio controls.

What components are included with the GSR-FC05?

The package includes the GSR interface module, an OBD II power harness, and a USB adapter. The SiriusXM SXV300 tuner and vehicle antenna are sold separately or included in the GSR-Tuner Kit.

How do I power the GSR-FC05?

The primary power source is the OBD II connector, which provides constant 12V battery power. If OBD II is unavailable, you can cut off the connector and wire the yellow wires to constant battery power and black wires to chassis ground.

Why are my SiriusXM presets disappearing after turning off the car?

This indicates the GSR is connected to an accessory power source instead of constant battery. Ensure the yellow wires receive constant 12V power (e.g., OBD II connector provides constant power).

SiriusXM does not appear as an audio source in my car. What should I check?

Verify the power connection (check LED lights on the GSR module) and the USB connection between the GSR and your vehicle's USB port. Also ensure the SiriusXM tuner is properly connected.

I see "Check Antenna" or "No Signal" messages. What should I do?

For "Check Antenna", verify the antenna cable is securely connected to the SiriusXM tuner. For "No Signal", ensure the antenna has a clear view of the southern sky and is mounted outside the vehicle.

Can I update the firmware on my GSR-FC05?

Yes, the GSR-FC05 has a micro USB connector used for firmware updates. Refer to the manufacturer's website for update files and instructions.

Is professional installation required?

While the manual provides detailed instructions, it is recommended to have wiring and installation done by experts due to the complexity and safety considerations (e.g., airbag deployment).

What safety precautions should I take during installation?

Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait 90 seconds after turning the ignition off before starting. Do not block the airbag, avoid splicing cables, and ensure all cables are secured to avoid entanglement.

How do I contact VAIS Technology for support or warranty?

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution
My presets are gone after I turn the car off	GSR requires constant 12V power connection. If the GSR doesn’t keep presets after the car is turned off, this means GSR was connected to Accessory power source
SiriusXM doesn’t appear as the source	Verify the power connection by checking the power harness connection or by verifying the lights at LEDs on the GSR moduleVerify the USB connection between the GSR and vehicle’s USB port
Check Antenna message	Verify the antenna connection to the tuner
No Signal message Make	sure the SiriusXM antenna has a clear view of the southern sky
Check Tuner message Ver	ify the tuner connection to the GSR module or replace the tuner

WARNING

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER

Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock

Do not block the airbag

Do not mount product or any added audio and/or video equipment where it can obstruct the operation of any safety devices such as the airbag.

Distraction warning

Do not let product or any added audio and/or video equipment distract you while you are driving.

BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

Before starting any installation work, you must wait 90 seconds after turning the ignition switch to the LOCK position and disconnecting the negative (-) terminal from the battery. The supplemental restraint system (airbag) is equipped with a backup power source. If installation work is started less 90 seconds after disconnection of the negative (-) battery terminal, the SRS may deploy. When the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery the clock and audio systems memory will be erased. Before starting installation work make a record of the clock and audio systems memory settings. When installation is complete, reset the clock and audio systems to their previous settings. Check power tilt, power telescopic steering column, front power seats, power mirrors, and power shoulder belt anchorage are equipped with a memory function. When installation is complete, it is necessary to readjust the features to their previous settings Never use a backup power supply (such as another battery) during installation work to avoid losing these memory settings.

CAUTION

DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES

Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric shock.

DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN SURROUNDING OBJECTS

Cables or wiring that obstruct or get caught on places such as the steering wheel, shift lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST

Moisture or dust may result in product failure.
