PAC RadioPRO5 RP5-GM11 Radio Replacement Interface Compatible with Select 2000-2013 GM Vehicles, Retains OnStar, Steering Wheel Controls & Bose Factory Amplifier, Car Stereo Wiring Harness

Used for my 03 Escalade Put in an alpine Ilx-w670 head unit. Factory sub works fine it was kind of odd the fade function doesn’t work if I fade the volume to the rear speakers it goes silent but if I center the fade all speakers work and sound great. Also I had to do some searching online to make the steering wheel controls work because for what ever reason I had to change the pin setting to universal instead of alpine specific. Anyways it works great.

This has helped me maintain steering wheel radio controls with ease. Installation was a breeze after following install instructions of course as am not a radio expert just a diyer

i have used them in the past ,,even though i did not need it and returned ,radio came with all equipment needed ,but if you need they do work well with gm cars and trucks

Interface itself is a clever device, hassel free install and works with SWC and integrates with factory BOSE and harness after the necessary soldering is done. Chime module is an absolute joke. Extremely poor quality, stopped working after 4 days. While it was still working it gave a whining cheap sounding noise. This piece is not even remotely close to replicating the factory warning chime. My 2 year old daughter has toys that actually sounds a lot better and really gives You confidence in its building quality. Finally, the connectors on the interface and the housing of the interface itself seems very fragile. I was afraid of breaking it when hooking up the different connectors from the factory harness. This initially led to improper connection and lots of noise in speakers both front and rear. After some troubleshooting, I reconnected everything while applying some more pressure. No issues or noise afterwards. Works perfectly! BTW, I live in Norway Scandinavia where climate is anything from warm&dry, humid, snowy with temperatures at 25 degrees celcius below zero, and everything in between... My Truck is a '03 Sub 8,1 liter, 3/4 ton with BOSE premium RPO UQ7 and Onstar (not working outside The US)

I have just installed this device in my 2005 Chevy Tahoe. So far this has worked excellent. Fairly simple to wire up, makes the steering wheel controls work perfectly. Has the leads for the reverse gear for a backup camera already(this wire was not the same color as the wire out of my new head unit, it was labeled correctly but different color). Will allow you to retain the rear seat controls, and the audio for the factory DVD player. I set the chime to volume 3 and it sounds good. This is somewhat bulky and does take some work to push all of this into the dash of the Tahoe. My system has factory Bose amp, and for some reason in my mind when I was connecting all the wires I did not connect the amp lead wire out of the head unit. I assumed that since it was a factory install it wouldn't require that connection. When I connected this I had all functions, but no audio. One quick call to PAC fixed me up. They knew exactly what I had done, and was about a 1 minute conversation with the tech guy. Would definitely purchase this again.

Let me start by saying I have a 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT with a stock Lux Bose amp and Bose speakers. You can confirm if you have the Lux Bose amp by checking for Y91 in your glove box parts list. This PAC unit was nothing but problems from the start. With everything connected properly, half the speakers would either not work or would be super quiet. The speaker fading ability is also non-existent - you lose that from factory stock. However, the MOST ANNOYING PART of this piece of crap PAC audio unit is that it has issues triggering the Lux Bose amp on start up. SOMETIMES but not every time, there would be no sound when I start the truck. The ONLY way to fix it was to turn the truck off and back on, needless to say it was extremely annoying. The only thing I could think of to fix this was to bypass the PAC box and wire the amp directly into the stock connector but that would require cutting into my factory wires and why should I have to do that when I purchased this product? I had contacted PAC audio and you guessed it, they never emailed me back. I ended up purchasing the Metra Axxess instead. With this unit, the speakers actually function as they should, the speaker fade works, dimming is possible (another thing you lose with the PAC unit is your stock dash dimming - with PAC you literally go backwards from STOCK instead of having something better - its ridiculous!), last but not least there is a SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL (blue) wire to hook the amp to. This finally resolved the issue with the sound sometimes not coming on with startup. The Metra costs more because the steering wheel controls are separate but boy is it worth it. It actually functions and retains everything. Your speakers will actually emit sound and you won't have to deal with amplifier problems. Not to mention on the PAC unit the plugs don't even snap in, they fit in loose which causes even more speaker issues. DO NOT BUY THE PAC IF YOU HAVE A LUX BOSE AMP, BUY THE METRA AXXESS!!! Save the headache and learn from my experience.

Mind you this is short term I just installed the item but wow everything was so good about it. The instructions were extremely clear and good. The steering wheel controls were retained as I wanted. The sub also works without issue. I left the chime unplugged as I don't enjoy annoying sounds for reasons. Onstar also works even though I wish it didn't. Very well packaged good instructions and quality materials. The price is high but it comes with everything you will need. I use wagos for ease of instal and troubleshooting. I have wired a few radios with them and can definitely recommend.

Excellent. Retains steering wheel controls and all stock factory functions including Bose.

Great replacement part and works well.

Wow, increible, mantiene todos los controles y el sonido exactamente igual que si fuera el estereo de agencia, yo le instale uno de marca JBL, que intensifica los sonidos y esta interfaz es increible, algo que no debe faltar, además mantiene toda la originalidad del vehiculo, sin cortar y sin adaptar NADA.

Bon produit mais délai de livraison trouve important à mon goût

I purchased this along with a Metra dash install kit, and an Android Double DIN stereo for an audio upgrade in my 2003 Chevy Avalanche LT Z71. I am an avid audiophile and wanted something that wouldn't break the bank, but would hopefully deliver decent audio quality and would keep factory options. the RP5-GM11 harness & module kit was the answer! I have done over a dozen personal car audio installations, most of them with far fewer options in the vehicle, and this one was by far the easiest! The kit comes with literally everything you need. I had the entire harness built, soldered and taped up ready to install in 45 minutes. I used this system to retain the Steering Wheel Controls, Rear-Seat Audio Controls, Factory Bose Speakers (6), Subwoofer & Amplifier, and to convert the antenna cable to GM spec. The directions are very straight forward and make it easy for even beginners to wire and install this system correctly. I set the SWC on the module to 7, for 'other brands' and to my satisfaction the single wire output from the SWC worked for my system! I thought I was going to have splice the wires from the 3.5mm jack. Entire install from beginning to finish was less than two hours, including removing the stock stereo, and finishing the new install to be set in the dash correctly. Very impressed with another great product from PAC!
