Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

The CRUX SOOGM-16 interface operates automatically once correctly installed and configured. It translates the vehicle's data signals to allow your aftermarket radio to function seamlessly with retained factory features.

Kontrolli tal-Istering Wheel (SWC)

Your factory steering wheel controls will operate the aftermarket radio as programmed. Common functions include:

• Volum 'il fuq/Niżżel: Jaġġusta l-livell tal-ħruġ tal-awdjo.

Żamma OnStar

The SOOGM-16 retains the factory OnStar system. When OnStar is activated, the audio will mute through the aftermarket radio, and the OnStar audio will be heard through the vehicle's speakers. The OnStar microphone and controls will function as they did with the factory radio.

Warning Chimes

All factory warning chimes (e.g., door ajar, seatbelt, low fuel) will be retained and reproduced through the vehicle's audio system, ensuring critical alerts are still audible.

The CRUX SOOGM-16 Radio Replacement Interface is a sealed electronic module and requires no routine maintenance. Ensure it is installed in a dry, secure location within the dashboard, away from excessive heat or moisture.

Periodically check all wiring connections for security, especially if experiencing intermittent issues. Avoid exposing the module to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
