End up selling those pin wires? I'll take one off your hands if not. Also did you happen to do a write up on the axxess piece if that's even what you did? Been neglecting the 6 and the forum for a while. Time to show my face more and get a face lift for the 6.

one more question. i have the metra kit installed on my G6 now. once i remove it and put in the new cluster what am i to do with the old plug that goes to the metra kit which was connected to the old radio? is it no longer needed after that and just leave it tucked away back there behind the radio?

I have diagrams pulled for an 07 and a 2010 but it shows many of the wires to be the same:

I haven't done this personally but I know other people have successfully mounted the newer stereo in. I'm not sure if the pins are the same but the plugs are just different or what. But hopefully these diagrams can get you a bit closer. They include all possible options.
As for the antenna adapter you can definitely purchase one. Most are to connect an OEM antenna to an aftermarket stereo, but I'm sure it will also work with the newer gm stereo.
Could always do a junkyard run and pull some wires...



Yea all those pins/wires sold pretty quick. There's cluster connectors with wires attached for sale on ebay. Could always get one and pull the pin out.
I may be going to the yard soon so maybe I'll grab a few, I'll post if I do.

I wired up my stereo using the PAC OS-311B Harness, It retained the RAP and onstar, it also brought back the chimes but I left the speaker unplugged because it's nicer without IMO.

I don't totally remember my install. I THINK the dic connector just sits there tucked behind the stereo. But I don't recall if my PAC harness had a connector for it to retain some of the functions. I'd have to pop it out and take a look I guess.

ok cool thanks. and no need for extra work to look. im about to order the stuff including the extra harness to retain rap and whatnot so ill just see when i get it all.

No problem. Your post promoted me to update the original post to show all three options that I know of.

Yeah I noticed that. Lol I'm gonna opt for the axxess one. Seems to be the cheapest option to retain RAP.

When I was looking I found the axxess and PAC for the same price.

Hmm when I looked today I found the axxess for at least $20-$30 cheaper than the PAC.

Awesome! I like when things work for people and they find it easy, means I wrote the how-to right haha

You wrote the how to perfectly. Super easy to follow and I absolutely love the outcome. Reinstalling my radio hopefully tonight. I just went with a cheapy harness for now. I'm not concerned with hearing any chimes for now. Lol

I personally like it better without chimes heh

Yeah I like not hearing the chimes. The only one I'd bring back is my blinker bc I constantly check if it's actually on since I can't hear it. Lol
