If the ASWC-1 is not being used, disregard this harness. If it will be used, please refer to the ASWC-1 instructions for radio connections and programming. • Connect the 16-pin harness with stripped leads into the interface. • Connect the 3018 harness into the interface, and then into the vehicle. • Make sure the 8-pin harness has the small circuit board still attached. Note: Disregard the harness that comes with the ASWC-1. • With all connections completed to the interface, radio, and vehicle, reconnect the negative battery terminal. • Connect the Red wire to the accessory wire. Initializing the Interface • Turn the key (or push-to-start button) to the ignition position and wait until the radio comes on. Note: The relay attached to the vehicle harness is only for audible turn signal clicks. No extra steps are required to retain this feature, so leave the relay as-is. Note: If the radio does not come on within 60 seconds, turn the key to the off position, disconnect the interface, check all connections, reconnect the interface, and then try again. Note: There is an 8-pin harness connected to a small heat shrink wrapped circuit board: DO NOT DISCONNECT! The circuit board must remain connected to allow proper operation of the kit. • Turn the key to the off position, close all doors (allow the dome light to go out to ensure no data communication is active), and then turn the key to the accessory position. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation, before reassembling the dash. Note: If using the ASWC-1, connect it after you initialize the interface, with the key in the off position. 10 99-3018 Adjusting the Interface Final Assembly Chime level adjustment 1. Secure the radio/bracket assembly into the dash using the factory hardware. • With the vehicle on, turn it off and leave the keys in ignition. Open the driver’s door; chimes will be heard. 2. Snap the radio trim panel over the radio, and then reassemble the dash in reverse order of disassembly. • Wait 10 seconds, and then with a small screwdriver, turn the potentiometer clockwise to raise the chime level; counterclockwise to lower the chime level. 3. The upper dash trim panel is intended for use in NAV equipped vehicles only. A factory version of this panel is also available from the dealership. Note: The metal clips for the upper dash trim panel must be oriented per Figure A or they will not engage properly. • When the chime is at a desired level, remove the keys from the ignition. This will lock the chime volume at its current level. Note: If the vehicle did not have factory navigation, insert the (2) copper threaded inserts into the empty upper radio mounting holes in the dash cavity. OnStar level adjustment • Press the OnStar button to activate it. • While OnStar is speaking, press the “Volume up” or “Volume down” buttons on the steering wheel to raise or lower the OnStar level. • If the vehicle does not come equipped with steering wheel controls, find the Black/Yellow wire on the 22-pin harness. • While OnStar is speaking, tap the Black/Yellow wire to ground. Once the OnStar level is set, it will stay at that level until the Black/Yellow wire is tapped to ground again.
