Installation Procedure

- Connect the antenna cable and electrical connections to the VCIM.
- Install the VCIM into the mounting bracket.
- Install the rear shelf trim. Refer to Trim Panel Replacement - Rear Window Shelf (Early Production) in Interior Trim.
- Install the scan tool. Use the special functions menu in order to perform the OnStar® setup procedure for this vehicle.
- Move the vehicle to an open area that is away from tall buildings and with a clear view of unobstructed sky. Allow the vehicle to run for 10 minutes.
- Use the ID information menu on the scan tool to access the new Station ID (STID) and the electronic serial number (ESN) and from the new VCIM.
- Press the blue OnStar® button to connect to the OnStar® Call Center. Tell the advisor that this vehicle has received a new VCIM and ask the advisor to perform the following procedure:
- Add the new STID and the ESN to update the customer's account.
- Activate the OnStar® Personal Calling feature, if available.
- Perform a full reconfiguration on the vehicle.
- Follow any additional instructions from the OnStar® advisor.
- Voice recognition in the generation 4 module CANNOT be changed. The default language for voice recognition in the generation 5 OnStar® module is English. To change the language resident in the module, refer to Service Programming System (SPS) in Programming.
IMPORTANT:
After replacing the vehicle communication interface module, you must reconfigure the OnStar® system. Failure to reconfigure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. In addition, pressing and holding the white dot button on the keypad will NOT reset this version of the OnStar® system. This action will cause a DTC to set.
