Introduction

Many Cadillac SRX and CTS were not outfitted with XM and the CTSx-HAR harness allows user to retrofit XM in 1st Generation CTS (All radios) and SRX (nonnavigation radio only). This harness provides XM tuner (Sold separately) with Power, audio and data. User must ensure XM tuner and XM antenna are in working order. SRX with navigation requires our SRXL-HAR.

Frequently asked questions

1. Will the CTSx-HAR work in vehicles with Navigation?
   YES; Except SRX with Navigation radios.

2. How can I check if vehicle has XM module?
   Turn Radio “ON”, press “BAND” button repeatedly to cycle through AM/FM/XM1/XM2. If only AM/FM is displayed, vehicle does not have XM Tuner Module.

3. Can I install this harness without removing stereo?
   NO; The CTSx-HAR connects to the radio and because of that the radio must be removed.

4. XM/iPod adapter etc. sounds only on one side. What is the fix?
   Late 2004 and early 2005-07 production CTS has the left audio and ground wires switched (compared to 2003- early 04). To fix, switch pins 3 (Blue/white) with pin 4 (Yellow) or vice versa.
