The AP4-GM81 provides a 6-channel pre-amp output for use with aftermarket audio equipment. The AP4-GM81 delivers a variable 5v RMS pre-amp output with fading, balance, equalization, and level control capabilities.
The module retains all audio from other vehicle features such as factory navigation prompts, Bluetooth, OnStar, and parking sensor chimes. A data controlled remote amplifier turn on wire is provided by the AP4-GM81. The module provides a variable 2-channel fiber optic digital audio output (TOSLINK).
AmpPRO Amplifier Integration Interface for Select 2023+ General Motors Vehicle Models with BOSE A2B Factory Amplified Systems.
Features:
- Variable volume, fade, balance, bass, mid and treble audio settings
Front, rear, sub preamp outputs (5 volt RMS)
- Customized OE bass, mid and treble center frequency selection
- Retains warning chimes, navigation prompts, Bluetooth®, and telematic audio (if equipped) • Plug-and-Play installation
- Sub level controller included
- TOSLINK optical output provides a variable 2-channel digital audio output
NOTE: The factory amplifier must be unplugged or removed when installing AP4-GM81.
- Important Notes:
- This interface is only compatible in vehicles with a BOSE factory amplifier (RPO code UQA or UQS).
- The factory amplifier must be disconnected removed from the vehicle when the AmpPRO has been installed.
- The remote output is rated at 2A of current. If more current is needed, an external relay must be used.
- The remote output is active any time the vehicle data bus is active. Any vehicle interaction like opening a door or pressing a button on the key fob will activate the data bus.
- Channel 5 & 6 are non-fading outputs. The output level of channels 5 & 6 can be controlled using the supplied level control knob.
- When the non-fading level control knob is not connected to the AP4-GM81, the output level of channels 5 & 6 will default to 100 percent.
To adjust minimum volume without using the PC APP, the level control knob must be connected.
- While adjusting the minimum volume with the USB cable plugged in, the level control knob will not function.
- To adjust chime volume, the PC APP must be used.
- Chime volume (Front & Rear) can be adjusted through OE Radio under "Settings > Vehicle > Comfort and Convenience > Chime Volume." Before making additional chime volume adjustments with the PC APP, set the OE volume to the middle.
- The chime volume and minimum volume levels are set to a typical level by default. If you are happy with this level in your particular application, then additional adjustment is not required. Please refer to the Setup and Configuration section on page 4 for more details.
- Front and rear chimes are independently adjustable to compensate for difference in power levels between front and rear installs.
- The factory radio's speed controlled volume and surround sound mode are not supported by the AP4 outputs.
- When using the TOSLINK output, all chimes must be routed through the front output by setting DIP switch 1 ON (down).
- No adjustments can be made manually using the programming button, or the factory SWC, when the module is connected to a PC.
- The AP4-GM81 is designed to be installed in the factory amplifier location, NOT behind the radio. It will replace the factory amplifier which will no longer be used.
