Replacing the radio antenna

Nothing in the windshield. That is sun shading.
Seems like you are trying to make the job harder than it needs to be. I have heard that extension cables are available.
I think it depends on the year about disconnecting OnStar, You could test easily enough.
Why not spend $5.00 on a wireless adapter for the camera?

Adapters wouldn’t suffice since XM cable wasn’t present... running 1 cable, might as well run 4 on same path using proper connections. Wanted to get all routed to one mount point, cleaner roof look to me.
Appreciate the info on windshield mesh, that helps!

I think the OnStar complication is that in certain years OnStar was hooked to the CANbus. I know some people have disconnected it without a problem.
Easy enough to pull the plugs and try to drive it.

It should set a light pretty quickly is any dependencies.
Thanks for all the assistance and suggestions, the forum is a super resource.

I'd like to use a factor Mic if possible for the new Pioneer Head Unit and Phone connectivity.
Didn't know if one was better than the other for this purpose.

Looks more like a speaker to me.
One of those is the flood light. I think the large one is the mic.
Maybe you can figure something out from this: https://www.tonkinonlineparts.com/sh...ssembly=848072
Believe it or not GoOgle "onstar microphone splice" gave lots of links! https://www.google.com/search?q=onst...=1706&bih=1268

Hey, thanks for the link on the OnStar Mic splice.
Another part I have't found reference to yet is a electronic box behind the liner by the mirror.
Possibly Compass module?

So I'll see about removing the Mic "guts" and leave the small grill in headliner and just attach the Pioneer AVIC mic inside the small head liner grill.
On Headliner, there was a cable glued running from Mirror to Lf Tail light harness in rear.
Leaving this unplugged, all lights, brakes, signals worked.
I'll need to look up the harness, but appears to provide the Doom light power, OnStar Mic, Console Flood and components within the Rr View Mirror.

The box is you RCDLR, The fob receiver.
The mic may be different.
Since what you think is the common is actually a noise reduction drain wire.
I bet the wire to the rear terminates to the ground .
