How to keep your factory backup camera, OnStar, steering wheel controls, and Bose in your GM vehicl

[@brandonlewis7611]

I just want to say that this is one of the best car stereo installation channels on KZbin. You guys have helped me so much. Thanks for the videos!!!

[@NickJones10]

I gave up on getting the steering wheel controls to work after hours of messing around with this thing 3 years ago, I decided to try again tonight and your video helped me realize I needed to program the buttons in, THANK YOU!

[@jaylee4929]

I have a 2003 cadillac escalade and want to upgrade my factory tape, cd deck. I am leaning towards an android based double din. What kind of harness and wire adapters would you recommend to keep my factory steering wheel button functions as well as adding a backup camera?

[@acousticwavetherapyexplain2204]

Best video yet for this job. I have a Tahoe with Bose premium sound. I have the same harness you demonstrated. My dilema is after taking out the factory radio there are 4 female receptacles and they look very similar. I am ready to install and dont know which aftermarket plug goes where. I will study the pins and see if I can match them up.

[@Cloudyay-d3r]

After 20-30 tube videos. This one made it clear for my rear camera cable connection that for some reason I couldnt see right in front of my eyes

[@818pudge]

Thank you very much! 🙏 I had my Amp non Amp hooked up backwards and my top volume on the Tahoe wasn't that loud.

[@818pudge]

It was driving me nuts!

[@jaylenyoung5108]

Question so how do you hook up an 4 ch amp to it ? And can you use the rcas from the radio for subs

[@dakotafrederick4909]

Good video thank you! I installed a RP5-GM11 & Pioneer AVH-W4500 in my 05 corvette and was getting no power to the rear speakers. I found your video and saw you tugging on the wires, did the same to mine and they were loose! Plugged it in properly and now everything works.

[@joonboi84]

I would love to see one specific to an ‘04 buick rainier with onstar and xm (non Bose, non dash speakers) because I want to keep my XM and SWC, but am not sure about onstar functionality.. also I have read many places that I can’t keep factory xm, so that is definitely something I’d love to know more specifics about.

[@DCElzie]

I have a question...i recently installed the Kenwood ddx9707s into my 06 GMC yukon denali with the Bose digital amplified system. I have a rear seat entertainment that came factory with my truck. Now i used the rp5-gm11 harness but my rear speakers only play as front speakers and become silent when i use the fader to the rear speakers. I have everything hooked up the same way you explained it in here but can't figure why they wont play separately from the front. Until i read the fader doesn't work with digital amplified systems using this harness. Now my question is..is there another harness that has that feature cause it sounds like I'm missing out on sound with my rear speakers not playing independent from the front speakers. My apologies for being so long..

[@lacnote2]

I have a pac5 gm11...2005 Tahoe with bose and onstar. Should I leave the solid blue wire from the interface capped or should I connect it to the red wire? Working with a pioneer 200ex.

[@gruponemesis]

i am trying to figure this one out too

[@corey.morreale]

what did you end up doing with the blue wire?

[@gruponemesis]

@@corey.morreale i connected to power wire....nothing major happened

[@joey537]

What i did was just connect it to power antenna ad u would connect it to an aftermarket amp, it wasnt playin audio as soon as i did that it started workin

[@azrael80304]

I have one of these installed on my 2012 Yukon Denali and no matter what I do I cannot get my factory backup camera to work any suggestions

[@gregpruitt1647]

Excellent video. In the video you said the module allowed the use of factory XM radio. The customer is installing an aftermarket head unit. I did not see you install one of those XM radio modules. The XM radio module is required for am XM ready head unit, right? Did you install an XM radio module in this installation?

[@kurtismonasterski9644]

G P I'm wondering the same thing my GMC Sierra has xm and I pay for it every year my pioneer unit says satellite radio ready and I bought this rp5-gm31 I'm wondering too if I need an adapter

[@gregpruitt1647]

I hoped that Five Star would jump in with an answer.

[@kurtismonasterski9644]

G P after looking a bit more into it I'm thinking you don't need the module to retain xm through aftermarket head unit, the rp5-gm31 should retain the xm radio as long as the radio says xm or satellite radio ready

[@gregpruitt1647]

I have not purchased a compatible head unit. But, for an XM account to use a head unit, account ID information needs to be entered into the head unit. This would suggest there is an interface where this information can be entered.

[@kurtismonasterski9644]

G P if your new unit is not xm/satellite radio ready then you will most likely need an adapter interface, what is the brand of unit and what vehicle are you installing it on ? I will find out what you need. Also I'm going to be installing mine myself in about a week I'm just waiting for the micro bypass to come in the mail and I will be ready for install, I will let you know if my install on the xm ready radio head unit works broski

[@dross131980]

About to install a Sony XAV-AX5600 and PAC RP5-GM31 in a 2007 Tahoe with factory Bose amp. Do I need to plug in any of those RCAs or use the harness with the brown connector? I only want to retain a few basic steering wheel controls.

[@augustacowboy11]

Thanks for the video guys it was a big help. But wondering what do you guys know about replacing the stereo in a 2017 Nissan Sentra with steering wheel controls and factory backup camera any advice or video would be a big help. Thx

[@Skippie210]

@fivestarcarstereo is there a way to cut off the door chime and splice those wires into the speakers somehow to retain the chime out of the speakers as it would have come from the factory?

[@fleiva30]

fossilsol69 not yet i haven't got time.. I'm going to take it to a shop better and see if they can correct that

[@fossilsol69]

fleiva30 I did have mine done at a shop and they had to put in a small speaker which distorts because it can’t handle the factory amp. It’s basically unusable. I didn’t know Impalas had amps except for the ones with Bose systems. Please let me know what you come up with.

Question: does this regulate the steering wheel cruise controls as well, or just the “radio” steering wheel controls? If I install a new radio without this module, will the cruise control cease to function?

Only the radio buttons are programmable I found, but also my cruise control worked when my steering wheel buttons were not working so it doesn't break cruise.

The brown goes to the mute wire on the radio( if it has one). Pioneer uses a yellow black wire. If you cut the wire and do not connect it to anything, onstar will just talk over your radio. The radio will not turn off though, which is nice.
