Anyone work with on-star?

A customer has a 01 escalade. I installed a panasonic in dash screen. Instead of using a peripheral adaptor, I want to convert the On-star audio signal to RCA and run it to the aux in.
The cady has the GM old school adaptor on the HU. Im thinking the On-star audio wires are blue/blue-blk...and browns..
Someone impress me

PAC and Soundgate both make onstar interfaces for that year

I looked up the instructions on the PAC interface. The brown is supposed to mute the radio while onstar is on, you could use that to trigger your aux input, it's called INT (interupt) on my alpine. The instructions don't say what the audio is from onstar, but you'd think that would be traceable. You'll probably need a LOC to change it to RCA'a and adjust the levels.

well, I got it beat. I use the grn/white and brn/white as signal pos. and blk/white as signal grnd. I fed it into aux2 and got full onstar thru the aux 2 channel.
Thanx for the info..
