Cables for replacing Factory head unit.
Installation instructions for cables on list 11 “A”

cable from list “B” is also required). One end of cable plugs into or connects
to your new aftermarket head unit and the other end plugs into the 18 pin
connector of the OEM-1. When using the complete OEM-1 system the radio will be
current protected by the vehicle fuse. The installer must decide to transfer
any other fuses or noise filters from the harness provided with the head unit.
Use the wire I terminal identification chart below to locate the correct power
wires. The low level inputs are for radios up to 25watts x 4.
While every effort has been made to insure this cable was made to connect
properly to your aftermarket head unit, changes in models and configurations
do occur. To prevent potential damage consult your stereo’s owners manual and
check wire function (as shown below) with that of the head unit you have. Move
any wires that are not in the correct pin location for you head unit.

ROEM-GM21A
Premium Sound System Interface
This interface will allow the replacement of a stereo in the following GM
vehicles with a premium
Delco/Bose sound system. The interface is transformer isolated, maintains
phase and is linear from 20 to 20,000 HZ. This 4 channel interface will allow
the new stereo’s output to be adjusted to the input requirements of the
existing factory installed ampliflier, providing 2:1 gain and infinite
attenuation.
The output connector plugs directly into the factory harness. The color coded
input wires are connected to the new stereo’s output harness.
For use with:
1999 Escalade and all 98-01 models of Suburban, Tahoe, Blazer, Yukon Jimmy,
Envoy & Denali
PAC Factory Amp Interface (FAI) – Level Setting
The Pacific Accessory Corporation® FAI is equipped with four channels of output level controls (gains) which should be adjusted for proper sound level matching.
-
Start by setting each gain dial on the FAI at minimum, or fully counterclockwise.
-
Turn on your car stereo and set the volume to roughly 3/4 of what the maximum number is.
(Example: If a radio volume scale is 0-40, you would set the volume to 30 for this process.) -
Ensure that any equalizer or bass boost settings are flat or set to their default positions.
-
Play a piece of music with a known frequency response that covers the entire audio spectrum.
This is important for setting the gain accurately. -
Turn the gain control on the FAI up slowly until you hear distortion in the audio. Back off slightly from the point where distortion occurs. This is done by inserting a small flat blade or Phillips head screwdriver into the gain adjustment holes, located on top of the FAI.
-
By turning clockwise, the gain for that individual channel, or the amount of sound allowed to pass through the FAI is increased. By turning counterclockwise, the gain for that individual channel is decreased.
The goal is to set the FAI gain high enough to get a clean signal but not so high that distortion is introduced. You will do this for all 4 channels.
Applicable devices as of November 2023.
