Retain your car's factory features with a new radio
Retain your car's factory features with a new radio
You want to install a new car stereo, but you don't want to lose the useful features built into your factory radio. The Axxess AX-ADBOX1 module gives you the ability to connect your new radio to the existing wiring in your vehicle and keep your factory features working. When used with the required Axxess interface harness for your car (sold separately), this interface automatically configures itself to work with your vehicle's data system. You'll keep the features you've become accustomed to, including OnStar®, Bluetooth®, safety warning chimes, Retained Accessory Power (RAP), and the SYNC® system.
Versatility and compatibility
This Axxess module works with amplified, non-amplified, or digitally amplified systems. The AX-ADBOX1 gives you a "plug and play" connection for the Axxess ASWC-1 steering wheel interface (sold separately). And if you're installing a new navigation receiver, the AX-ADBOX1 also includes the parking brake, reverse, mute, and Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) outputs you'll need. This Axxess adapter also retains the digital fade included in some factory amplified sound systems.
Installation note: The Axxess AX-ADBOX1 must be used with one of the following Axxess vehicle-specific interface harnesses: AX-ADCH01, AX-ADCH02, AX-ADFD01, AX-ADFD02, AX-ADGM01, AX-ADGM02, AX-ADGM03, AX-ADMZ01, AX-ADTY01, or AX-ADVW01.
Please enter your vehicle information or call an Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to find out if the AX-ADBOX1 and its accompanying harness are compatible with your vehicle.

Factory Amplified/Non-Amplified Compatible: The Axxess AX-ADBOX1 interface module can be used in vehicles with or without factory amplifiers, including digital amplified systems. The AX-ADBOX1 provides an amp turn-on lead (Blue/white) to turn on any factory amps. Retains balance & fade control in vehicles with factory analog amplifier or factory digital amplifier (non-THX systems only).
Navigation Outputs: The Axxess AX-ADBOX1 auto-detect system interface provides a VSS (vehicle speed sense), Parking Brake, Mute, and a Reverse Gear output to make installing an aftermarket navigation radio simpler and less time consuming.
R.A.P (Retained Accessory Power): The ignition power source of many vehicles keeps the radio on until one of the doors is opened. This feature is called the R.A.P. (retained accessory power). The AX-ADBOX1 is designed to retain this feature.
GM Onstar Retention + Other Retained Features: The AX-ADBOX1 is designed to retain the factory OnStar emergency services system that would normally be lost when your GM factory radio is replaced by an aftermarket head unit. This interface module will also retain your GM factory Bluetooth & Satellite Radio functionality. In addition, the Axxess auto-detect system interface retains your GM vehicle's factory warning chimes and turn-signals. It even allows you to keep your factory back up camera and rear seat entertainment.
Ford SYNC Retention: The Axxess AX-ADBOX1 retains all functions of the Ford SYNC system; including Voice Recognition Music Search, USB, iPod, Auxiliary Input, Bluetooth Phone & Audio Streaming, Turn-by-Turn Navigation, 911 Assist, and Vehicle Health Report.
Optional Steering Wheel Control Interface: The vehicle specific wiring harness (sold separately) features a right-angle 3.5mm connector that lets you keep your vehicle's OEM steering wheel controls via the optional Axxess Steering Wheel Control Interface (120ASWC1, sold separately).
16-Pin Harness Color Codes: The Axxess AX-ADBOX1 includes a 16-pin harness which connects between the interface module and your aftermarket receiver. These connections will need to be crimped or soldered together.

Great interface and worked like a charm after some tweaking and some truly exceptional assistance from Crutchfield customer support. Without this and the accompanying wires and harnesses, installation of my stereo would have been a nightmare. This worked great!
