Yep, the new GM's with OnStar are a pain.

There is a GMOS interface (runs about $130 or 50% off with a $130 or more head unit from CF) that you are supposed to use for this.

Related thread here.

Basically, your options are:

  • Replace factory head unit and add GMOS interface.
  • Keep factory head unit and add RF 3Sixty or JL CleanSweep.
  • Add GMOS interface, but modify wiring and add external speaker just for OnStar.

Hope This Helps!!!

Anyone else have suggestions?
