1.3 Compatibility Notes  
This section will inform you of the specific requirements for your factory  
radio to be compatible with the iPAC-GM3. These notes will inform you of  
any issues or circumstances that can affect the compatibility of our product  
with your radio, audio system, or accessories. Not all Factory radios are  
compatible with the iPAC-GM3. The iPAC-GM3 will only work on models  
equipped with the specifications listed below. Please read and understand  
these notes before proceeding:  
Radio Requirements  
Non navigation radios must have a  
“CAT” button. Works with all XM ready  
navigation radios.  
1.4 Harness Selection  
The harness used is determined by whether or not your vehicle has an  
OEM Satellite Radio tuner installed. If you have satellite radio installed,  
use the GM3HXM harness. If no satellite radio is installed, use the  
GM3H harness. Visit the PAC’s web site at www.pac-audio.com/default.

Chapter 2 - Installation:  
This chapter will explain how to install the iPAC-GM3 interface using the  
GM3H and the GM3HXM harnesses. Some installations require you to  
make wiring connections. To eliminate the risk of an electrical short, we  
recommend removing the negative terminal from the vehicles battery prior  
to installation.If you do not feel comfortable making these connections, we  
suggest you seek professional installation.

16-pin male connectors into the 14 & 16-pin female connectors on the  
GM3H harness.  
3. Optional Connections:  
RED: Retains Accessory Power (RAP). Provides 12V(+) accessory power  
after the vehicle is turned off up to 10 minutes, or until the drivers door  
is open.

2.2 Initialization:  
Once you have completed the installation of your iPAC-GM3 interface, it  
is important to allow the factory stereo time to recognize the new device.  
This “hand shake” period occurs when the key is first turned-on, and lasts  
up to 10 seconds. A green LED located on the top of the IPAC-GM3 will  
flash during the “hand shake.” ONCE THE GREEN LIGHT IS ON SOLID  
THE INITIALIZATION IS COMPLETE. (NOTE: YOU MAY NOT SEE THE  
GREEN LIGHT FLASH) Please do not press any buttons until initialization  
is complete, or you will need to start the initializing “hand shake” process  
over again by disconnecting and reconnecting the 24-pin plug from the  
iPAC-GM3 and waiting through the “hand shake” period.  
Chapter 3 - Operation:  
This chapter will explain how to control the iPod from your factory radio In  
Advanced, Manual, and Auxiliary Input Modes.  
Note: All factory steering wheel controls (if equipped) remain functional and  
operate the same as the corresponding buttons on the radio. Ex: SEEK ▲on  
the steering wheel controls will function the same as pressing SEEK ▲ on
