ONSTAR LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
SUBURBAN 2003-06
TAHOE 2003-06
To adjust the Onstar volume level find the BROWN wire that you cut on the 16 pin
harness, you will use the BROWN wire that is by itself, with no other wire with it.
Push the blue Onstar button, while the voice is speaking tap the BROWN wire to
ground. There are 4 volume settings for Onstar; once the 4th setting is reached
and the BROWN wire is tapped to ground it will automatically go back to the first
volume setting. Once the volume is set it will stay at that volume until the BROWN
wire is tapped to ground again. This can be set during installation and then left
alone. If user adjustment is desired, a momentary contact switch (sold separately)
can be added. Connect one terminal from the switch to ground and the other ter-
minal to the brown wire. The volume will change one level every time the switch
is pressed.
