About the Metra GMRSAV Factory Integration Adapter

Bob Bihlmayer

Metra GMRSAV

If you plan to install a new radio in your 2007-up GM vehicle and you want to retain the factory Rear Seat Entertainment system (RSE), Metra's GMRSAV adapter can help. This cable sends audio and video from your aftermarket radio to the overhead screen in your entertainment system. If you connect a secondary A/V source to the inputs on the rear seat control panel, it will route that signal to your new radio too. Warranty: 1 year.

Q
If I do an aftermarket flip down and radio- both with rcas. could I buy 2 of these and put them on either end of the cable to get the same effect as running rcas?

This adapter allows you to connect the Composite outputs of a compatible aftermarket radio to the OEM connection in your vehicle. If you are replacing the OEM monitor as well, you will need to run Composite RCA cables, this adapter would do you no good.

Q
Do i need this to install headrest dvd players to my factory head unit? I dont know if the rca cables are already there if i do not have a rse system. Thank you.
[ Nick  Mar 19, 2018 ]

If the headrest DVD players are factory installed, then you need them as GM does not use a standard RCA connections. If the headrest players are aftermarket, then no as most aftermarket units use RCA connections.

Purchased this for my aftermarket Kenwood in my 2007 GMC Yukon. Connected only the video out from the "To Overhead Screen" wires. However, the overhead screen will not turn on. What am I missing?
