About This Kit

The Radio Series 1 head unit is the base AM/FM/CD radio fitted to the standard Pontiac G8 and G8 GT — it pairs with the SIC display for radio info and dual-gauge readouts, supports a factory aux input, and on some builds Bluetooth phone audio with text display. When you fit a replacement or second-hand Series 1 unit, it must be security-linked to your vehicle and reconfigured for the exact options you want enabled.

This is a DIY kit. We ship you an OBDSync scantool plus the tokens needed to license the module — you run the programming yourself at home using a Windows laptop, and the module never has to leave your vehicle.

Same kit, more capability: the OBDSync software also programs the BCM, IPC, ECM, TCM, ABS/EBCM, Radio Series 2 IQ, HVAC, SDM, SIC, RFA and other G8 modules. Each additional module is licensed separately with its own tokens, and some modules need more than one token (tokens are $50 each), so once you’ve got the kit you can take care of future programming any time — just add the tokens you need.

Radio Series 1 Programming Functions Included

This kit unlocks the full set of Radio Series 1 functions available through OBDSync for your Pontiac G8 (2008–2009):

🎧Flash — Aux Input — enable the auxiliary audio input.
📱Flash — Bluetooth Text — enable Bluetooth SMS / text display.
🔒Learn — Security Link — pair a swapped-in radio to your vehicle.
