GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Battery positive voltage is provided to the radio from the RDO/INTLP/ONSTAR fuse in the fuse block-I/P. The radio is grounded to G302 and G303. The radio is enabled/disabled by class 2 messages from the body control module (BCM).

The Entertainment System on this vehicle is configured with a base and uplevel system. The base and uplevel systems contain a radio, antenna, speakers, and on some vehicle lines an audio amplifier.
