The GMCOL29 allows aftermarket radio installation without retention of the factory radio. The interface replicates all factory warning chimes, audible turn signal indicators and provides a data bus generated 12 volt accessory output that acts just as GM’s R.A.P. (Retained Accessory Power) system did prior to radio removal. R.A.P. keeps the radio powered after the key is off, until the driver door is opened or a 10 minute timer ends, whichever comes first. The GMCOL29 also provides a SWC (Steering Wheel Control) output wire at the interface. By using this interface, the Parking Assist System will receive a “healthy” system status and the Rear Seat Audio controls will also be available for use (if equipped).

In the simplest explanation, the auto makers factory radio is different in size and/or shape than a new replacement radio. An installation kit, also called an indash stereo installation kit, allows a new replacement radio to be mounted into the opening where the auto makers factory radio was installed.

The radios installed from the factory are expensive. But what is the real cost, or more specifically what really goes into installing a new radio in a vehicle that did not have a radio installed from the factory?

A Radios Integration Into A Vehicle
When the auto makers original factory radio is removed, a dash wire harness will unplug from the rear of the radio. For most vehicles all necessary wires to complete the installation of a new replacement radio will be connected to this in dash wire harness.

Many people wanting to install a new replacement radio in their vehicles usually become confused when professional installers and/or salesman inform them of these separate snap on wire harness adapters. A common misunderstanding for these people is that they wonder why they need to purchase an additional wire harness when the radio either has wires already attached to the radio or a wire harness is already included with the new replacement radio. The wiring on the rear of new replacement radio is designed in one of two ways: either the wires are connected internally to the electronic circuit board and then extended out of the rear of the radio, or the radio is designed with the wires attached to a small plastic wire harness connector which can be plugged into the rear of the radio. Most modern radios are designed with a separate wire harness. This allows the wire harness to be wired to the vehicles speaker and power wires without having the heavy radio attached. This also allows the radio to be unplugged without having to cut the wires.

The Install Doctor STRONGLY recommends using a snap on wire harness adapter when replacing the auto makers factory installed radio with a new replacement radio. These snap on wire harness adapters are custom designed to plug into the auto makers indash radio wire harness that originally plugged into the rear of the auto makers factory radio. Because each snap on wire harness is custom designed to fit only a specific auto makers indash wire harness, these are not included with new replacement radios but can be purchased separately.
