Repair Kit Availability
COAX Cable Kits
GM has implemented a new service strategy that uses
a set of universal coaxial repair kits to service vehicles.
This applies to cable used for high frequency signals,
such as cellular (OnStar®), satellite radio (XM) and
GPS (navigation) as well as the AM/FM signal.
There are eight individual kits. Any given repair may
require the use of one or more kits. OEM replacement
cables should be used when the exact cable is
available and replaceable. In other cases where they
are not readily available or replaceable, it is acceptable
to use the service cables below to complete repairs.
The following eight kits are available for service:
(1) — Communication Interface (OnStar) Module
Antenna Cable Kit (part number 13581174)
2706799
Consists of four different RG58LL cables in lengths of
18 inches (A), 3.5 feet (B), 5 feet (C) and 7 feet (D).
This kit is used to replace the cables for carrying a
cellular signal or a combined cellular and GPS signal. It
is also referred to as the long run cellular kit.

(4) — Digital Radio (XM), Mobile Telephone (OnStar)
and Vehicle Locator (GPS) Antenna Cable (part
number 13581153)
4887305
Consists of three different RG174 cables in lengths of
3.5 feet (A), 5 feet (B) and 7 feet (C) and is used to
replace RG316 or RG174 satellite radio and GPS
cables. It is also referred to as the long run XM/GPS kit.
Consists of one 90 degree adapter cable to be used
with any of the long length cable kits. Available
individually and also as part of the Antenna Coaxial
Cable Kit above (part number 19119056).
(3) — Digital Radio (XM), Mobile Telephone (OnStar)
and Vehicle Locator (GPS) Antenna Coaxial Cable
Kit (part number 19119056)

Antenna Cable Kit (part number 22803854)
2706816
2706814
Consists of many different connectors, housings and
jumpers to mate into the connector housings. This kit
may be used by itself to repair a connector or in
conjunction with the long run kits to change the
connector ends. It is also referred to as the
connections kit.
Consists of a 4-inch jumper for the mini-UHF connector
that was used on several OnStar modules before the
2011 model year.

Factory Antenna and Coax Connected
4887306
Consists of three different RG59 cables in lengths of
3.5 feet (1), 5 feet (2), and 7 feet (3). This kit is used to
replace the cables for carrying an AM/FM signal. These
cables are used to connect between the radio and any
AM/FM antenna (mast, glass antenna amplifier, glass
antenna module, or roof mounted antenna base).

Enclave, Express, Savana, and Traverse models with
radio RPOs UG4, UGU, UUI, UHU, UJL, UGY, UGX,
UI6, UI4, UUI, UI2, UI5, UI7, or UI8. This may be used
on additional models as well as long as the connection
is the same.
COAX Cable Service Strategy
4887311
Factory Antenna with Service Jumper Plugged In
Consists of one 4 inch universal antenna connector
adaptor and a universal dual connector body. Typical
application is to connect a single AM/FM coax cable to
an existing dual connector at the antenna. Re-use the
factory dual connector body, or use the water blue
universal connector body if the original is not
serviceable.
(8) — AM/FM Radio Antenna Jumper Cable with
Tyco Right-Angle Connector (part number
13594431)
4887312
Consists of one 90 degree adapter cable to be used
with any of the long length cable kits. Typically used on
2006 – 2010 radios as well as all Acadia, Captiva,
With this cable kit strategy, it is not necessary to
remove old or bad coaxial cable from the vehicle. Using
the long run kits, a new service cable should be routed
in the vehicle from point A to point B. The cables should
be secured with a combination of tie straps, electrical
tape, and/or clips with foam or felt tape placed around
the cable to prevent possible rattles.
It may be necessary to combine various lengths of
cables to create the needed length. If there is extra
cable, it can be coiled around itself, but be sure not to
bend the cables more than a 2 inch radius or damage
could occur.
By design, the cables have 1-way universal connectors
on each end. If a different end is needed, use a jumper
to connect from the 1-way connector on the service
cable to the proper connector.
If an in-vehicle connector is damaged, it may be
possible to replace it with a new service connector
housing from one of the available service kits. Kits will
have mostly non-keyed water blue connectors for
1-way and 2-way styles. The 3-way connectors are
color coded. In some cases, it will not be possible to
replace only a connector. For these cases, run a long
run cable and bypass the non-replaceable connector.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these
technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper
service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a
job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your
vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
information.
