Satellite Radio
The satellite radio system is comprised of the following:
- Satellite radio receiver built-in to the ACM (Audio Front Control Module)
- Stand-alone satellite radio antenna (vehicles without navigation)
- Combination satellite radio/GPS (Global Positioning System) antenna (vehicles with navigation)
- Satellite radio antenna cables
- The satellite radio antenna cables connect the satellite radio antenna to the ACM (Audio Front Control Module). The satellite radio antenna cables are not removable from the wiring harness.
Navigation System
The navigation system consists of the following:
- Navigation ACM (Audio Front Control Module)
- GPS (Global Positioning System) antenna
- Satellite radio/GPS (Global Positioning System) splitter cable (part of the front satellite radio antenna cable)
- Microphone (integral to the auto-dimming interior mirror)
The ACM (Audio Front 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 (integral to the auto-dimming interior mirror)
- USB (Universal Serial Bus) port and cable
- Audio input jack
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
Not all features are available with every phone.
MyKey(R)
When a MyKey(R) restricted key is in use and the speed limiter is turned on, the speed compensated volume is disabled. When the speed limiter is turned off or an administrator key is used, the speed compensated volume is enabled.
