Dimensions
CRUX does not publish reliable overall module dimensions or product weight for the SOCGM-18B on its current product page.
For Walmart/eBay assembled dimensions and weight, I recommend using physical measurements rather than guessing or using unrelated package measurements.
Performance
The SOCGM-18B acts as the communication interface between a compatible aftermarket radio and the vehicle's GM LAN 11-Bit data system.
For Bose-equipped vehicles, the interface provides the appropriate connection for the factory amplified audio system. For non-amplified vehicles, a separate non-Bose connection is used.
