- Audio DSP (Digital Signal Processing) module (powers all speakers except the subwoofer) and audio amplifier (powers the subwoofer)
All audio systems include the following features:
- Speed sensitive volume
- Accessory delay
- MP3 capability
- Audio input jack
The following options are also available:
- Steering wheel controls
- Satellite radio
- Provides satellite broadcast audio channels
- SYNC system
- Provides mobile phone and media device functionality with the vehicle audio system
AM/FM Antenna
The antenna is located on the inside of the rear window glass and can be repaired, but not replaced separately from the glass. for information on repairing the antenna grid.
Satellite Radio
The satellite radio system is comprised of the following:
- Satellite radio receiver built-in to the ACM (Audio Control Module)
- Satellite radio antenna
- Satellite radio antenna cable
Navigation System
The navigation system consists of the following:
- Navigation ACM (Audio Control Module)
- GPS (Global Positioning System) antenna
- Satellite radio/GPS (Global Positioning System) splitter cable (part of the front satellite radio antenna cable)
- Microphone
The ACM (Audio Control Module) controls the operation of the navigation system and the audio system. The system uses a GPS (Global Positioning System) antenna, a vehicle speed input, and other sensor information to accurately establish the vehicle position.
SYNC System
The SYNC system consists of the following:
- APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module)
- SYNC-specific steering wheel controls
- Microphone
- USB (Universal Serial Bus) port and cable
- Audio input jack
- GPSM (Global Positioning System Module) (vehicles without navigation)
SYNC is a hands-free communications and entertainment system that allows the following interactions:
- Send and receive phone calls via a Bluetooth-enabled phone
- Send and receive text messages via a Bluetooth-enabled phone
- Connect media devices (such as an iPod(R) or USB (Universal Serial Bus) flash device) in order to play audio files
- Play media files via a Bluetooth-enabled audio device
- Produce vehicle health reports
- Initiate an emergency call (eCall) when the air bags deploy
- Provide hands-free access to traffic reports, turn-by-turn driving directions, business listings, news, sports, and weather
The GPSM (Global Positioning System Module) works with the SYNC(R) system to provide vehicle location on vehicles not equipped with navigation, as the vehicle location must be known for the traffic, directions, and information features to operate correctly.
Not all features are available with every phone.
For additional information on audio system operation, including the SYNC system, refer to the Owner's Literature.
