If this is the case, it doesn't look like the glovebox needs to be removed on a 2010… could be that its 11PM, I'm exhausted, and I'm completely missing something

call me.

You do have to do the wires for the Onstar, or things will not work right.

oh yes, I see now… the X2 connector… the splitter is the step thats eliminated for a 2010. Sharkfin cable stays connected to onstar… Only the white harness plugs should be removed from onstar so the wires can be added



also- another question… I have my reverse camera currently hooked up to your gentex mirror retrofit/ harness.

To switch the camera output to the mylink, is it as simple as switching the RCA cable from mirror harness to mylink harness?? Or do I have to wire the power to the camera differently? IIRC with your harness, the power connections are to the fuse box- I don't think I remember tapping into my reverse lights like I have with prior cars. Will I have to do so now?

I have a question about the white wire...what is it for?? I have a 2013 non BA system...but both places where this white wire plugs into i already have wires in those pins locations...after putting in the faceplate wires i have no empty pins...and the spot on my main radio harness already has a wire in there....ive plugged everything except the onstar module, and all the radio/ac/hazard lights function normally??

Am i missing something here???

Yes, or if you want both like I did put the RCA splitter in.

Or do I have to wire the power to the camera differently? No, as I did not have to do anything differently.

Got it?

The white wire for BA systems is to turn on the amplifer, hence the T-tap. For non-BA systems it is to power the new face plate as the other end goes to pin 18 of the HVAC/Radio connector A20. I would ask GEN5DIY as we've found some interesting things along the way.

I think the very first step is to KNOW YOUR CONNECTORS!!! I had the same confusions as some of you.

The directions skip around a bit so I strongly suggest only working on one connector at a time and do it until it's done. Read through the entire directions while working on each connector so you don't miss anything.

To help me, I got a blank sheet of paper and drew the plugs so I'd have a quick reference to go to. Just a tip that may help out. Or just print out the directions. I have an iPad, I used that instead of printing.

Where can I find the updated PDF? I downloaded the one attached to your post #92, but don't see any later posts with the new PDF.

(It might be helpful -- in addition to / in place of -- the date on p1 of the document to include a revision number.)

I got a question about the white wire. The one that goes to pin 18 on a non BA system. I do have that wire in that spot already. 2014 Camaro LS. Can I use that wire already?

Those all require a subscription called "Travel Link", through the XM folks.

Thanks Ofer! I got it installed, no problems at all. Looks and Works Great!



Just have to figure out whats up with the Backup Camera. Looks Like distorted video, but I verified the MyLink video in is fine.

Update: I Figured out the problem with the Backup Camera, the Signal Pins (Yellow & White on Camera Plug) were reversed in the Video Cable, Just had to reverse the wires in the Video Plug! Now it works fine !
