ABOUT THE PA11-GM45

The PA11-GM45 interface connects the iPod directly to GM audio system. Its on-board software translates

commands from either your GM CD Changer controls into commands that the iPod understands. This

interface enables the iPod to take place of a GM CD Changer and provides the following benefits:

1. Direct connection of the iPod to GM vehicle audio system for optimum sound quality

2. Control iPod playback with the CD Changer buttons on the GM radio AND/OR directly from the

iPod buttons (direct mode)

3. Direct access and control of up to 5 favorite playlist (playlist mode)

4. Charge the iPod internal battery --- includes auto-shut down features to prevent car battery-drain

5. Auxiliary audio input (connect additional audio devices and listed to them on the factory system)

6. Plug-n-play: includes installation cable, mounting screws and owner’s manual.

This interface adapter is designed as an alternate replacement to the GM 6 disc CD Changer or slave unit

in your GM vehicle. Therefore it is not possible to have a slave CD or 6-disc CD Changer and the PA11-

GM45 iPod interface simultaneously connected to your GM radio.
