Dimensions

CRUX does not publish reliable module dimensions, bare product weight, or packaged shipping dimensions for the SOCGM-18L on its current product page or installation manual.

For an eBay/Walmart listing, I recommend physically measuring and weighing the packaged unit rather than using dimensions from another CRUX GM interface.

Performance

The SOCGM-18L communicates with compatible GM LAN v2/LIN Bus vehicles to provide the electrical signals required when replacing the factory radio.

Key outputs/functions include:

12V Constant
12V Accessory
Ground
Illumination
Reverse
Front left/right speaker connections
Rear left/right speaker connections

The interface is specifically intended for non-amplified systems.
