You can press and hold the programming button on the side of the interface to access different programming modes. Once the 

LED is lit to the mode you desire (see below for modes), immediately release the programming button to access that mode.

PLEASE NOTE:

 

•  This process must be done with the interface in the vehicle and the key in the ignition position.

• 

If there is a Premium Bose system (Y91 / UQA), and you are also installing an amplifier on the cabin speakers, 

make sure that the chime speaker is connected before proceeding. See the RadioPRO app section on Page 3 for 

more details.
A. 

2 Chimes and LED1 flash amber: 

SWC re-calibration

 (this mode is available in the 

Corvette only

). This allows you 

to re-calibrate the analog SWC in the event they fall out of the expected range and do not function properly. If data 

control SWC are detected by the interface, this mode will be automatically skipped.

B. 

3 Chimes and both LEDs flash green: 

Chime volume adjustment

 This allows you to adjust the volume of the 

chimes generated by the interface using the adjustment dial on the side (this mode is not available in vehicles equipped 

with Premium Bose (Y91 / UQA) amps). If a Premium Bose amp is detected by the interface, this mode will be skipped 

as the factory amp is what generates the chimes. Please see the vehicles owner’s manual for adjustment of chime 

volume in vehicles with Premium Bose (Y91 / UQA).

C. 

4 Chimes and LED 1 flash red: 

Master reset.

 

LED 1 will flash red

 and you will hear four chimes. This does a master 

reset of the interface and restores the following settings to factory defaults:

•  SWC Calibration
•  Infotainment Setting
•  Interface User Options

Programming Button and Adjustment Dial Functions

SWI-DIRECT Steering Wheel Control Output Connector

1.  The GM1A-R provides a SWC output connector labeled “Connect to PAC Steering Wheel Control Interface” (Fig. A) 

attached to the harness. For ease of installation, all necessary connections have been made for you.

2.  You can use either a PAC SWI-RC or an SWI-CP2 (sold separately). 

a.  When using an SWI-RC, the loop on the output connector should remain intact. Set the 

SWI-RC to version two and program the buttons according to the SWI-RC instructions.

b.  When using an SWI-CP2, use the DIP switch settings provided for the GM1A-R in the 

ControlPRO application. The steering wheel controls will be preconfigured for the vehicle 

and radio but can be customized using the ControlPRO application. The loop on the output 

connector should remain intact.

These products have settings that are adjustable through our RadioPRO PC app or through the push-button on the module.
