Advanced Amplifier Interface for 

General Motors

AP4-GM61

Restoring Factory Settings

You can restore the interface to factory default settings by pressing and holding the programming button on the side of the module 

until the status LEDs start blinking red. Once the LEDs start blinking red, release the button.

This reset will restore the following settings to their factory defaults:

•  Center Channel volume level percentage

•  Chime volume level

• 

Enable / Disable Factory Chimes

•  Minimum volume level

Troubleshooting

1. 

Hiss at high amp gain - Set feature DIP switch 2 to the on (down) position to lower the output voltage of the AP4 to 4v. If you 

still hear the hiss, lower your amp gains until the hiss is gone.

2. 

If you experience no audio after resetting the AP4-GM61, switch to a different audio source (AM, FM, SAT, USB, etc.) and 

test again.

3. 

Cannot hear OnStar or Nav Prompts - Use the factory volume controls while either of these are active to adjust the volume. 

4. 

Cannot hear chimes - Set chime volume using process outlined in Setup and Configuration, or using the AmpPRO app. If 

you still do not hear chimes, be sure that you are using the remote output from the AP4 to turn on your aftermarket amplifier.

5. 

Low volume setting on radio is too loud - Set minimum volume using process outlined in Setup and Configuration, or using 

the AmpPRO PC app.

6. 

If for any reason the AmpPRO module becomes unresponsive, or will not power up with the key on, you can always reset 

the interface by turning the key to the ignition position, then pressing and holding the Power button on the factory radio for 

12 seconds or by pressing and holding the reset button on the side of the AmpPRO module for 10 seconds (until the LEDs 

alternate flashing red).

Firmware Updates

The AmpPRO PC app will also allow you to update the interface with new firmware as it becomes available. Please visit 

www.pac-audio.com or contact our tech support department to see if there is a firmware update for your interface.
Connect the interface to your PC and select "Firmware", then “Update Firmware”. Now select “Select File”. Finally, browse to the 

place where you saved the file and select it. This will begin the updating process. Once finished, disconnect the interface from 

the PC and resume normal operation.
