Testing and Verification

1.  Turn the ignition on. The LED on the interface will turn on and the +12v accessory wire will turn on.
2.  Turn on the radio and check balance and fade. Note: 

Premium factory amplified systems

 will not fade as neither the 

aftermarket radio, or the RP Advanced interface have the ability to control the amplifier’s fader.

3.  Verify that the factory subwoofer (if present) is playing.
4.  Verify that all SWC are functioning properly for both the aftermarket radio and OnStar. To adjust OnStar volume, press the 

OnStar button on the mirror, then use the volume buttons on the SWC to adjust the level. The volume will raise a total of 8 

times before returning to the original level.

5.  Verify that the factory XM tuner is functioning properly.
6.  Pressing the OnStar button on the rearview mirror will turn off the rear speakers and allow the OnStar audio to be heard in 

the two front speakers. The OnStar active LED will also turn on. When OnStar disconnects, the radio will un-mute or turn 

back on and the OnStar LED will turn off. Pressing the Mute / OnStar button on the steering wheel for 1.5 seconds will also 

activate OnStar.

7.  Turn off vehicle and remove key. RAP will be active and keep the radio on for 10 minutes, or until the driver’s door is 

opened.

8.  The LED and radio will turn off when RAP turns off or the driver’s door is opened.
9.  Use the 4-position selector switch located on the side of the CMX module to select the best chime output volume for your 

specific installation. Setting 1 being loudest and 4 softest.
