Does anyone know what the OEM 16 Pin Connector actually does?

All the radio controls and inputs seem to work fine. I did not check the rear entertainment aux inputs.

Great thanks. I just responded to the open inquiry I have with Grom. Hopefully they can tell me what the 16 pin connector actually does.

“Usually only AUX IN is there. But in some configurations they may have more functionalities. Depends on vehicle.” from Grom.

Bump - Considering the vline2 for carplay . What was the end result here? Was any functionality lost unplugging the OEM 16 pin? Did audio quality improve?

I have not had an opportunity to unplug the 16 pin connector yet. I did verify that the rear aux outlets are active while the 16 pin is connected. However, I don't think I will need the aux plugs long term.
