non monsoon shouldnt be to different on the install compared to the non-monsoon. Except for wire coloring.

First, Id double check the wires the installer did from the OS4 module to the wiring harnes of the D1.

second, make sure the two purple wires as shown on this picture at spliced together. If this isnt done your on-star will not work. Just use any wire to tap the two purple wires together.

why wouldnt the amps power up?

[MarK M]

it could be that the installer didnt wire your harness correctly.

There are actually 3 purple wires to connect together (2 on the 24 pin plug and 1 on the 12 pin). The wiring is different with monsoon as opposed to without. Make sure you hooked up the correct amp turn on lead and that it is getting 12v when the ignition is on.
