The RP5-GM11 is a RadioPro5 interface by PAC designed for GM vehicles. It retains factory features like OnStar, steering wheel controls, and warning chimes while enabling installation of an aftermarket stereo.
Compatibility with Aftermarket Stereos
- Works with Most Aftermarket Head Units: It is compatible with major brands like Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine, JVC, Sony, and more.
- Steering Wheel Control Support: It has a built-in SWC module, but you may need to program it based on your stereo brand.
- Retains Factory Features: If your vehicle has OnStar, Bose, or factory amplification, the RP5-GM11 helps integrate them properly.
- Wiring Adapter Included: It simplifies installation by converting factory wiring to standard aftermarket stereo wiring.
Possible Limitations
- Check Your Vehicle Compatibility: Works with select GM vehicles (2000-2013). Some models may require extra adapters.
- Some Features May Need Extra Modules: If your aftermarket stereo has advanced features (e.g., iDatalink compatibility, backup camera integration), additional harnesses might be required.
- Programming Needed for Some Stereos: You might need to follow instructions to set the correct DIP switches or manually program the interface.

1. Compatibility with 2004 Chevy Tahoe
- The RS2763D is a universal remote start system, meaning it can be installed on most vehicles, including your Tahoe.
- The 2004 Tahoe has a factory Passlock II anti-theft system, which requires a bypass module for remote start to work.
2. Required Bypass Module
- You'll need a bypass module to interface with the factory anti-theft system.
- Compatible options include:
- OLBLADE-AL64 (Omega)
- Fortin EVO-ALL
- iDatalink ADS-ALCA
- Directed 556UW or 556U
- The bypass module will allow the remote start to function while keeping the factory security intact.
3. Installation Considerations
- Wiring: You'll need to make the proper connections, including ignition, starter, and accessory wires.
- Keyless Entry: If your Tahoe has factory keyless entry, the RS2763D should integrate with it.
- 2-Way Communication: The RS2763D's 2-way remote will confirm when the vehicle starts, locks, or unlocks.
4. Additional Features
- 3000-Foot Range: Ideal for long-distance use, such as parking lots or driveways.
- Smartphone Compatibility: Can be expanded with the LINKR LT or LINKR-MOBILE module for smartphone control.
- Security Features: Optional alarm functions if you want added protection.
The Excalibur RS2763D will work with your 2004 Chevy Tahoe, but you must install a bypass module for proper operation. If you're installing it yourself, make sure you have the proper wiring diagram for your Tahoe, or I can help with that.
Would you like a wiring guide or recommendations on where to buy the bypass module?
