About the iDatalink HRN-AV-GM5
Keep the factory monitor
You're installing a new radio in your GM vehicle and you want to retain your factory Rear Seat Entertainment system (RSE) — iDatalink's HRN-AV-GM5 cable can help. Used with iDatalink's Maestro RR interface and a GM harness, you'll be able to send audio and video from your new touchscreen receiver to the factory monitor in the backseat. If your new car stereo has a rear audio input, you can also retain the use of the audio input on your rear seat control panel. Warranty: 1 year.
Keeping your factory features with an iDatalink-ready car stereo
If you're buying a compatible iDatalink-ready car stereo, you'll enjoy the outstanding performance of your receiver, plus seamless touchscreen control over most of the factory features in select GM vehicles. You'll also be able to display engine performance data and other vehicle info on your receiver's screen.
Installation note: This adapter must be used with the iDatalink Maestro ADS-MRR module and the appropriate iDatalink GM harness to connect a new car stereo and your rear seat entertainment system in your GM vehicle.
