Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-) have a varying AC mV signal that is produced by the radio and sent to the amplifier. The amplifier then processes these signals and passes the audio along with a DC bias voltage to the appropriate speakers. The audio being played on the system is produced by the varying AC voltage. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker cone to move and produce sound. This voltage will vary depending on what type of audio is being listened to, talk or music, and type of music, as well as the volume setting of the system. When using a DMM, each of the audio amplifier output channel circuits will measure approximately 6.5V DC.
- The ignition is in the RUN or ACC position.
- The system voltage is at least 9.5 volts and no more than 15.5 volts.
- All the above conditions are present for greater than 10 seconds.
The amplifier detects a short to voltage on the audio (+) or audio (-) circuit.
The amplifier detects a short to ground on the audio (+) or audio (-) circuit.
The amplifier detects an open on the audio (+) or audio (-) circuit.
The amplifier disables the audio output to the speaker with the current fault.
- A current DTC clears when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present and the ignition has been cycled from OFF to ON.
- A history DTC clears after 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

This DTC is generated by the module when the Theft Lock is activated. This occurs when the VIN as received over the data communication circuit and the VIN as stored in the module memory do not match. This also occurs when no VIN is received over the data communication circuit. The only circuit required is the communication line.
This DTC test runs when the radio changes from OFF to ON.
This DTC is generated by the module when the VIN as received over the data communication circuit and the VIN as stored in the module memory do not match. This also occurs if no VIN is received over the data communication circuit.
The radio does not function. The radio will display indicate that Theftlock is active.
Re-calibration with the correct calibrations for the vehicle and cycling the radio to OFF then to ON will clear the DTC if there is no damage to the radio.

The 3.5mm (1/8 in.) auxiliary audio input jack is located in the center console. When a portable audio playback device is connected to the auxiliary jack, an internal switch pulls the detection signal circuit low and the radio will switch to AUX as the audio source. Audio signals from the device are sent to the radio from the auxiliary jack via the left, right, and common audio signal circuits.
- When a device is first connected to the 3.5mm (1/8 in.) input jack the infotainment system automatically switches to that device. If an auxiliary device has already been connected, press the AUX or CD/AUX button to select the device.
- Playback of an audio device that is connected to the 3.5mm jack can only be controlled using the controls on the device.
- The volume control on the device may need to be adjusted to ensure sufficient playback volume through the infotainment system.

The Bluetooth ® antenna is a small fixed antenna connected directly to the communication interface module (CIM) and is used to send and receive signals from a Bluetooth ® enabled cellular phone. The antenna utilizes no cabling and is not external to the vehicle.
In order to use hands-free calling, the cellular phone must be paired to the vehicle. Up to five devices can be paired to the vehicle at one time, but only one can be connected at any given time. To pair a phone, the customer must know how to operate the Bluetooth ® functionality of their phone. The pairing process must only be done one time for each phone, unless that phone's information is deleted. For safety reasons, the pairing process is disabled while the vehicle is moving.
- The purpose of this diagnostic is to verify the ability of the CIM to pair to a Bluetooth ® device.
- Before performing this test, verify compatibility of the cellular phone(s) the customer is attempting to use with the vehicle. Based on the cellular phone's service provider and the manufacturer's implementation of Bluetooth ®, not all phones support all available Bluetooth ® functionality. A vehicle and feature compatibility list will be provided via the GM Bluetooth ® website: http://www.gm.com/vc/bluetooth/
- If the vehicle passes the following tests and a compatible device is being used, the concern may be due to a device malfunction or an incomplete/improper pairing attempt.
- A Bluetooth ® test tool or equivalent can also be used to verify the ability of the customers cellular phone(s) to pair with another device.

The communication interface module (CIM) receives information from a specific navigation antenna located on the outside of the vehicle. The navigation antenna is connected to the CIM via a shielded coaxial cable. The antenna cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
- The GPS signal title on the scan tool will display a Yes or No dependent upon whether or not the module sees an increment of the seconds transmitted by GPS signals to the vehicle communication interface module. Upon entering this screen, the GPS signal title will automatically display Yes, regardless of the presence of time increment, for at least 2 seconds, while the algorithm in the scan tool determines the status of the clock. If increment is found, Yes is continually displayed. If the clock remains static, No is displayed. The scan tool looks for increment every second, regardless of current display.
- Inaccurate or aged GPS position concerns which are no longer present may have been due to the temporary loss of GPS signal reception by the vehicle. Conditions such as driving through tunnels or parking structures while making an OnStar® keypress will restrict the navigation antenna from a clear view of the satellites in the sky and may have caused this temporary data loss.

Some vehicles equipped with the OnStar® system have the capability of accessing voice mailboxes and other automated phone systems by means of the steering wheel controls, while the OnStar® Personal Calling (OPC) feature is in use. If the "Talk" or "Mute" button (depending upon the vehicle) on the steering wheel controls is depressed during an OPC call, the communication interface module (CIM) receives the message on the serial data bus from either the radio or body control module (BCM). This message is interpreted as a request to turn any spoken numbers into dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) tones to be delivered over the airwaves to the phone system the user is communicating with. Complete instructions for operation of these features can be found in the information provided to the customer with the OnStar® system.
The steering wheel controls are a resistor network that consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a series of resistors. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network, which produces a specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by either the radio or BCM. In the event the OnStar® steering wheel control functions are inoperative, technicians should refer to Steering Wheel Controls Malfunction , to begin diagnosis of the steering wheel control concern.

AM and FM radio reception is dependent on the following components
- Radio antenna - part of the rear glass
- Coax cable between the radio antenna and the radio antenna module
- Radio antenna module
- Coax cable between the radio antenna module and the radio
- Radio
Poor AM and FM radio reception is dependent on multiple influences, some of which may not be vehicle related. Areas which have high RF traffic or block the signal path may cause a degradation in radio reception. Radio reception may also be influenced by items within the vehicle, but not part of the radio system. Such examples are aftermarket electrical accessories or other items which may generated noise in the vehicle electrical system. Aftermarket window tinting, especially when there is a metallic in the film, may reduce radio reception.
AM reception is highly dependent on the antenna module receiving battery voltage from the radio. The antenna module has a built in antenna amplifier that boosts both AM and FM reception. When the antenna module no longer receives power, the radio will still receive FM stations and loose all AM stations.

Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-) have a varying AC mV signal that is produced by the radio and sent to the amplifier. The amplifier then processes these signals and passes the audio along with a DC bias voltage to the appropriate speakers. The audio being played on the system is produced by the varying AC voltage. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker cone to move and produce sound. This voltage will vary depending on what type of audio is being listened to, talk or music, and type of music, as well as the volume setting of the system. When using a DMM, each of the audio amplifier output channel circuits will measure approximately 6.5V DC.
- Improper speaker mounting or loose trim may cause an audible buzz or distortion. Inspect the appropriate speaker and the surrounding interior trim for proper and secure mounting. If the speaker or surrounding interior trim is found to be loose or improperly secured, correctly secure the item.
- When equipped with an amplifier, it is possible for some individual circuit faults to affect more than one speakers operation. Perform diagnostic tests in the sequence listed to avoid misdiagnosis.

The telematics communication interface control module is a cellular device that allows the user to communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. When an OnStar keypress is made, the telematics communication interface control module activates and connects the system to the cellular carriers communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends and receives all cellular communications over the cellular phone and navigation antenna and cellular antenna coax.
- The customer concern may have been due to a lack of cellular service in a given area. A failure in the National Cellular Network infrastructure at the time of the customers failed connection that has since been repaired may also have been the cause.
- If an OnStar® emergency call is able to successfully connect the vehicle to the OnStar® Call Center when an OnStar® Call Center button press is not, there may be a failure in the ability of the OnStar® system in the vehicle to be recognized by the local cellular carrier.
- If the prompt "OnStar® request ended" is heard, without pressing the white dot button at the end of the OnStar® keypress, the OnStar® system at one time has made a successful cellular connection, but was unable to complete the call.
- It is important to have the vehicle in an open outside area where a cellular call can be successfully placed and GPS data can be received from satellites.

The navigation system contains the following components
- Infotainment faceplate control module
- Navigation radio
- Touch-screen color display module
- Color display module actuator
- Global positioning system (GPS) antenna
- Remote auxiliary jack/USB adapter
The export navigation system contains the following additional components
- Vehicle information communication system (VICS) module
- VICS optical beacon antenna
- Four TV antennae integrated into the rear window glass
- VICS FM antenna integrated into the rear glass
- TV antenna module to control antenna selection
- Antenna amplifier
The operator interfaces with the radio system through the buttons and control knobs located on the Infotainment Faceplate Control Module or faceplate. The operator is able to control system power, volume, fade, balance, bass, and treble equalizations. When the operator turns a knob or pushes a button, a module in the faceplate sends a signal to the radio on a UART - based bus called CAN Graphical Interface (CGI). The CGI bus circuit is part of a wiring harness that connects the faceplate and radio.
This component acts as the operator interface for the navigation system, provides the data input from the operator to the navigation system and provides navigation information to the operator via the display screen. The navigation radio is located in the center of the instrument panel behind the faceplate. The navigation radio provides the following
- A hard disk drive (HDD) capable of at least 9 GB maximum memory capacity for storage of media files.
- Soft keys on the display to allow selection from menus and to operate the navigation system, the audio system and the (export) TV system
- The navigation system map with routing information displayed on the navigation radio screen
- Plan a route and provide turn-by-turn route and map guidance with voice prompts
- Select a destination from various areas and choices, such as: Street address Intersections Previous destinations Points of interest
Battery power is supplied to the Color Display Module through a 15-amp RADIO fuse located in the Rear BEC.
When the navigation radio is on, a discrete 12 volt signal is supplied on the remote enable circuit to the Color Display Module. This signal is used to control the power state of the module, which is now in the active state. The radio sets the appropriate DTC when a fault is detected on the circuit.
The radio communicates with the Color Display Module over the CAN Graphical Interface (CGI) serial data circuit. The CGI circuit is a UART - based serial data interface used to transfer messages and high rate display graphics.
When the Color Display Module is in the active state, the radio needs to determine if the module is communicating properly. The radio initiates the message to the module and waits for a proper status response message back from the module. If after 30 communication attempts without a proper response, the radio holds down the reset circuit to the module in an attempt to reset the module. The radio sets the appropriate DTC when communication is lost.
The Color Display Module attaches to the Display Module Actuator. Battery power is supplied to the actuator through a 10-amp NAV MOTOR fuse located in the UHBEC. The ground circuit for the actuator is attached to G305.
When the navigation radio is on, a discrete 12 volt signal is supplied on the remote enable circuit to the Display Module Actuator. This signal is used to control the power state of the actuator, which is now in the active state. The radio sets the appropriate DTC when communication is lost.
Pressing the NAV button, located on the Infotainment Faceplate Control Module or faceplate, sends a 5 volt signal on the Popup Position Control circuit to the Display Module Actuator. The 5 volt signal sets the position of the Display Module Actuator commanding the display to the Up position. Pressing the NAV button again removes the signal on the circuit commanding the display to the Down position.
When the display is commanded to the Up position, the motor controller, located in the actuator, sends a 5 volt signal on the Popup Position circuit to the radio. The circuit is a hard wired input from the motor controller to the radio. This signal is read by the radio in order to know which graphics to render on the touch-screen display. The radio will set the appropriate DTC when this circuit is open, shorted to ground or battery.
A remote 3.5 mm auxiliary stereo jack and USB connector allows playback of audio signals from remote devices (e.g., laptop computer, IPOD, MP3 player, etc.). The Aux jack is a five wire connector interface. The USB is a four wire plus shield USB cable interface. The USB connector uses the USB standards, 1.1 and 2.0. This type of connector supports rates for low speed (1.5 Mb/s), full speed (12 Mb/s), and high speed (480 Mb/s). The remote Aux jack/USB adapter is located in the rear console bin.
The radio detects the presence or absence of an audio mini-plug through the AuxJackDetect input. When the audio mini-plug is inserted in the Aux Detect Switch the mechanical switch closes. When removed the switch is open.
The global positioning system (GPS) locates the current position of the vehicle using signals sent by GPS satellites. The GPS antenna is attached to the instrument panel (I/P) carrier and can be accessed by removing the I/P retainer. The GPS antenna is powered through the same coaxial cable used to send the signals to the navigation radio. Interference to the system may occur if any of the following exist
- Signals are obstructed by objects such as, tall buildings or trees.
- Metallic objects located on the dashboard
- Aftermarket glass tinting has been applied to the vehicles windshield.
These several antennas are conductive traces placed on the inside of the rear window glass.
The TV antenna module is located under the rear window shelf. The TV antenna module is used by the navigation radio to automatically select the antenna combination that provides the strongest TV signal to the navigation radio. The TV antenna module also provides the vehicle information communication system (VICS) FM signal to the VICS module.
The TV antenna amplifier is mounted behind the trim on 1 side of the rear window. The TV antenna amplifier is powered by the TV antenna module through the same coaxial cable used to carry their signals to the TV antenna module. They are attached to the 4 TV antenna trace patterns in the rear window glass.
The vehicle information communication system (VICS) module, an export only dealer-installed option, uses signals from the optical/microwave beacon antenna and the rear glass VICS antenna via the TV antenna module to convey routing information to the navigation radio. The navigation radio either revises planned routing or relays the VICS information to the operator through the screen of the navigation radio and the voice guidance system.
The vehicle information communication system (VICS) optical beacon antenna is a dealer-installed option. The antenna, which is mounted on the right side of the instrument panel, picks up signals through the front window glass. A coaxial cable carries the power to and signals from this antenna to the navigation radio.
| IMPORTANT | This function is for view files on disk only. The navigation radio cannot get external files from the World-Wide Web or other sources other than an inserted disk. |
The navigation radio will allow HTML files to be displayed. The files will only be able to be accessed and viewed. No user input is capable.
To plan a route a destination must be set. There are various types of destinations available, as listed above. Pressing "Calc" once the destination has been entered will plan the route. To start the route guidance start driving the vehicle. The route guidance will begin automatically after a short distance.
The beam function allows data to be sent by a PALM hand held computing device directly into the navigation system. The IR port for the beam function is located in the upper right corner of the navigation radio.
The Navigation Systems voice recognition allows for hands-free operation of navigation and audio system features. The voice recognition can be used when the ignition is in accessory or ON, or when retained accessory power (RAP) is active. This feature only works if the map DVD is inserted and the AGREE button has been pressed. The memory seats can also be able to be set and selected using the voice recognition feature. For a complete list of available commands, refer to the Owners Manual Navigation Supplement and/or Personalization in the Owners manual.
This OnStar® system consists of the following components
- Telematics Communication Interface Module
- OnStar® button assembly
- Microphone
- Cellular antenna
- Navigation antenna
- Bluetooth ® antenna (If Equipped)
- Back Up Battery (If Equipped)
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.
The telematics communication interface module is a cellular device that allows the user to communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the module. The ignition state is determined by the telematics communication interface module through serial data messaging.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the telematics communication interface module to a microphone, the button assembly, and to command the status LED. The telematics communication interface module communicates with the rest of the vehicle over the serial data bus.
The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular information. The cellular system connects the OnStar® system to the cellular carrier's communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar® system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand.
The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, slowing down stolen vehicle gradually, or activating the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the OnStar® Call Center per a customer request.
The OnStar® button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as follows
- The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
- The blue OnStar® call center button, which displays the OnStar® logo, allows the user to connect to the OnStar® call center.
- The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority emergency call to the OnStar® call center when pressed.
The telematics communication interface module supplies 10 volts to the OnStar® button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit. When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the telematics communication interface module on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the telematics communication interface module is able to identify which button has been pressed.
The OnStar® status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event there is a system malfunction and the OnStar® system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar® subscription is not active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the account status.
Each LED is controlled by the telematics communication interface module over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.
Some vehicles may have an additional button that when pushed can engage the OnStar® system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it.
By engaging the OnStar® system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt the user can say "HELP" and the telematics communication interface module will return an audible list of available commands.
The OnStar®, or cellular phone microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit. In either case, the telematics communication interface module supplies approximately 10 V to the microphone on the cellular phone microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the telematics communication interface module over the same circuit. A cellular phone microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the microphone.
This vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas
- Separate, standalone cellular and navigation antennas
- A combination cellular and navigation antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part
- A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver antenna, which also incorporates the functionality of the digital radio receiver satellite antenna (XM).
- A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver antenna, which also incorporates the AM/FM antenna.
The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar® system to send and receive data over airwaves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the telematics communication interface module.
The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the telematics communication interface module. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna.
The OnStar® Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an OnStar® call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar® Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power.
The navigation signal splitter is a component for dividing the navigation signal antenna signal into two paths without any transmission loss. It has two RF-connectors, one signal fakra connector and one double fakra connector. Port 1 is the input for connecting to the navigation signal antenna, port 2 is the output for the car OnStar navigation system, port 3 is the output for the navigation radio. Port 1 and 2 are galvanically coupled internally using a matching network. The OnStar system supplies the navigation signal antenna with power via port 2. Connectivity is made between port 1 and 3 though and internal coupling element and low noise amplifier. The navigation radio provides the amplifier with power via port 3.
Bluetooth ® wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. Only vehicles with steering wheel controls will have Bluetooth ® functionality. In order to utilize the vehicle Bluetooth ® system, a Bluetooth ® equipped cellular phone is required.
The Bluetooth ® antenna is a small fixed antenna connected directly to the telematics communication interface module and is used to send and receive signals from a Bluetooth ® enabled cellular phone. The antenna utilizes no cabling and is not external to the vehicle. The available features and functions are determined by the software within the device being used and the telematics communication interface module. The operating range of the signal from the vehicle is approximately 30 feet. Note that the operating range is dependent upon the cellular phone being used and battery level of the phone.
With Bluetooth ® technology customers can experience hands-free calling as their Bluetooth ® capable cellular phones are wirelessly connected to the vehicle. It will allow customers to place and receive calls using the steering wheel controls and voice recognition. The vehicle audio system will allow you to listen to your call through the vehicle speakers and adjust volume through steering wheel or radio controls.
Not all Bluetooth ® cellular phones are guaranteed to work with the vehicle's Bluetooth ® system. Based on the cellular phone's service provider and the manufacturer's implementation of Bluetooth ®, not all phones support all available Bluetooth ® functionality. Bluetooth ® enabled cellular phones will be tested for vehicle compatibility and a feature compatibility list will be provided via the GM Bluetooth ® website: http://www.gm.com/vc/bluetooth/
The following is a list of features supported by the Bluetooth ® system. Note that not all devices will support all of the listed functions.
- Automatic reconnection - highest priority phone will automatically be connected to vehicle when vehicle ignition is on
- Hands-free dialing- via digits, redial, name tags (phone number saved to a nametag via voice recognition)
- Answering a call
- Ending a call
- Mute a Call
- Rejecting a call - ignore an incoming call
- Call Waiting
- Three-way Calling - initiated from hands-free system
- Send Number During a Call - this is used when calling a menu-driven phone system
- Transfer a Call - transfer call from vehicle to cellular phone and visa versa
- Voice Pass-Thru - allow access to the voice recognition commands on the cellular phone
In order to use hands-free calling, the cellular phone must be paired to the vehicle. Up to five devices can be paired to the vehicle at one time, but only one can be connected at any given time. To pair a phone, the customer must know how to operate the Bluetooth ® functionality of their phone. The pairing process must only be done one time for each phone, unless that phone's information is deleted. For safety reasons, the pairing process is disabled while the vehicle is moving.
Once the Bluetooth ® cellular phone has been paired with vehicle, it will automatically connect to the vehicle when the ignition is on and the device is on. When more than one paired phone is in the vehicle, the phone with the highest priority will be connected. If the cellular phone is in use while getting into the vehicle, the phone can be switched to hands-free mode with the press of a button. In addition, a call in progress can be transferred from the vehicle hands-free mode to the phone to continue the call as the customer exits the vehicle.
Complete pairing instructions are provided in the Vehicle Owners Manual.
Note. Do not disconnect the main vehicle battery or remove the telematics communication interface control module fuse with the ignition key in any position other than OFF. Disconnecting power to the telematics communication interface control module in any way while the ignition is ON or with retained accessory power activated may cause activation of the OnStar® Back-Up Battery. This action is per design as the back-up battery is designed to provide power to the telematics communication interface module so an emergency notification call can be made after a vehicle collision where the main battery is disabled. Once the Back-Up Battery is activated it will stay on until it has completely discharged. The back-up battery is not rechargeable and once activated the back-up battery must be replaced.
Certain OnStar® equipped vehicles may also be equipped with a back-up battery. The back-up battery is a non-rechargeable, lithium battery intended to provide an auxiliary power source for the telematics communication interface module in the event of a vehicle collision where power from the main vehicle battery is lost.
The back-up battery is intended to have a limited life span of approximately 4 years and is designed to maintain an open circuit voltage between 16V and 9V throughout this period. This allows the battery to power the basic functions of the telematics communication interface module for least one 200 second (5 minute) call at the end of the 4 year span, should a main vehicle battery loss collision occur.
The back-up battery is connected to the telematics communication interface module through the back-up battery positive voltage circuit and back-up battery ground circuit and is protected from a short circuit by means of an internal fuse. In the event the back-up battery positive voltage circuit is shorted to the back-up battery ground circuit or chassis ground, the fuse will open and render the back-up battery permanently inoperable. The status of the back-up battery and its associated wiring is monitored by the telematics communication interface module.
When the OnStar® requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar® originated audio. The OnStar® audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar® system is active to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting.
The OnStar® system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power mode has ended. This cycle enables the telematics communication interface module to perform remote functions, such as door unlock, as commanded over the air by the OnStar® Call Center, and to continue to maintain an acceptable level of battery electrical drain.
The OnStar® system uses 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is put into the OFF state
- High power
- Low power
- Sleep
- Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, or retained accessory power is enabled, and the OnStar® system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar® system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or with retained accessory power enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the retained accessory power has timed out while in an analog cellular area. At a predetermined time recorded within the telematics communication interface module, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStar® Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar® system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions. If no call is received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar® system will turn off until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the retained accessory power has timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar® module is able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar® advisor at any time, for a continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar® module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the telematics communication interface module. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received.
If the OnStar® system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The hands free, OnStar® personal calling cellular phone feature is an additional feature of the OnStar® system. This feature is embedded within the telematics communication interface module; however it must be activated by an OnStar® advisor. OnStar® personal calling operates similar to most hand held cellular phones in that the availability for its usage is based on minutes or units. The customer must have a current OnStar® subscription, as this feature cannot be utilized without it. To use OnStar® personal calling, the customer must also purchase units (minutes) as outlined in the owners guide provided with the OnStar® system. Units begin to deplete, 1 unit is equal to 1 minute, as the customer makes outbound phone calls, answers inbound phone calls, or while connected to the OnStar® virtual advisor. In addition, units may also have an expiration date, depending upon the type of units purchased.
Customers have the ability to store telephone numbers within the module, referenced by a nametag for the convenience of frequently dialed numbers. After storing a nametag, the user can dial this number by initiating the OnStar® personal calling feature, speaking the word "call," and repeating the nametag assigned.
Customers have the capability to lock their OnStar® personal calling system by pressing the answer/end call button, speaking "security" and entering a 4-digit code. Once this process is complete, the user must enter the code before OnStar® personal calling is available. In the event the customer cannot remember their code and is unable to use their system, they can press the blue OnStar® button and speak to an advisor to unlock the system by means of a discrete cellular call to the vehicle.
Turn by Turn Navigation allows the driver to contact OnStar® to obtain directions for driving from a current location to a desired location. The Turn by Turn Navigation system stores your planned route and continually checks your position along that route, when you deviate from the planned route, the system will recognize this and prompt the driver with verbal prompts for how to proceed. The driver then responds verbally to direct the system to continue the current routing or to recalculate the route because of a missed turn. On some vehicles, the Turn by Turn Navigation instructions may be displayed to the driver in the radio display or the driver information center.
OnStar® Stolen Vehicle Slowdown allows advisors working with law enforcement services to send a signal to limit fuel flow to the engine, gradually slowing down the stolen vehicle.
Stolen Vehicle Slowdown is an enhancement to OnStar's Stolen vehicle Location Assistance, which uses Global Positioning Technology to pinpoint the location of a vehicle reported stolen. Stolen Vehicle Slowdown is powered by OnStar's new generation of hardware (Generation 8).
The Advisor Record Feature allows the user to store any information given during a call with an OnStar® Advisor. Recording is activated by pressing the blue OnStar button during a call; pressing the button a second time stops the recording. The stored information can be played back by pressing the phone button and using the voice command "Advisor Playback".
In the event a customer has not renewed their OnStar® account after expiration or the account was never activated, OnStar® will make a discrete cellular call to the vehicle to deactivate the OnStar® system. Before taking this action, customers are notified that the OnStar® system in their vehicle will be deactivated unless they elect to renew the account. After the OnStar® account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following
- The OnStar® status LED will not illuminate.
- The OnStar® system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar® Call Center in the event of a collision or if the vehicle front air bags deploy for any other reason.
- An emergency button press will play a demo message indicating the service has been deactivated.
- An OnStar® Call Center button press will connect the customer with a dedicated sales team who can sell an OnStar® subscription and reactivate the vehicle. Depending on the type of OnStar® hardware in the vehicle, the customer may first hear a demonstration message stating there is no current OnStar® subscription for the vehicle, and directing the customer what to do to activate services.
- OnStar® personal calling will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to have a current OnStar® account. Attempts to use this feature may result in cellular connection failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed.
Certain vehicles that have never had an active OnStar® account, or that have been deactivated, may be unable to establish a connection with the OnStar® Call Center. When normal published diagnostic procedures do not indicate a possible cause for the no connect concern, the vehicle may have been deactivated. For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal operation. Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an active OnStar® subscriber or renew the account subscription.
The proper operation of the OnStar® System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS.
The cellular operation of the OnStar® system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from an analog or digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making an OnStar® key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar® Call Center. The OnStar® system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station identification number, electronic serial number or manufacturers electronic ID, are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.
The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStar® call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.
During diagnostic testing of the OnStar® system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where analog or digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStar® keypress in a known good OnStar® equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStar® Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a permanent reference for future OnStar® testing.
The telematics communication interface module utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call routing and connection, a mobile identification number and a mobile directory number. The mobile identification number represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes while the mobile directory number represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.
OnStar® users communicate with 2 speech recognition systems. Speech recognition allows the user to speak to one computer in the vehicle, and one reached over a phone line. The computer tries to understand the users command, and responds by speaking back, or by taking the appropriate action, e.g. dialing the phone.
- Personal Calling uses a speech recognition system that resides in the vehicle. When the user presses the phone button, the system states, Ready, and listens for the user command. The user can speak commands to control the hands-free phone.
- Virtual advisor is a remote speech recognition system that the caller can access by making a phone call. The user connects to virtual advisor by requesting it during personal calling use. The user is then transferred to the virtual advisor server and talks to it via a cellular connection.
The OnStar® speech recognition systems use speech technology that is designed to understand a wide range of American English speakers. Although there is no one right way to speak English, the system will work best when users try to modify their pronunciation should they encounter difficulty. Users who do not obtain good results are advised to try the tips and workarounds found in this section.
| Concern | Tip for Better Result |
|---|---|
| Noise | Noise may confuse the speech recognition system. You usually get better performance from the system in quieter conditions: The HVAC fan creates noise. Turn it down or OFF for better speech system performance. Driving at high speeds creates louder engine noise and wind noise. You may get better results at lower speeds. An open window or an open sunroof allows more noise to enter the vehicle. Close all windows for better results. Noisy rainstorms can also reduce performance. If passengers are talking while you use the speech system, it may be confused by their speech. You will get better results if all occupants of the vehicle are quiet while the system is listening for commands. |
| When to Speak | In Personal Calling, the system is only listening after it prompts you to speak. When the system prompts you to speak, you have about 5 seconds to respond. If the system does not hear a response, it will prompt you again, or cancel the transaction. If you begin to speak too soon, it will tell you "Slower, please." Try pausing for a half second before speaking. In the Virtual Advisor, the system is always listening for commands, even while it is speaking. |
| How to Speak | Speak forcefully, and clearly. The noisier the environment, the louder you need to speak. If you are in the driver seat, speak facing the front of the car. If you are a passenger, speak facing the rearview mirror. Speak calmly, and naturally. The system may sometimes fail your repeated attempts to give a command. If your speech is distorted by shouting or frustration, this may cause more errors. People with high-pitched voices may have better results by speaking in a deeper, lower-pitched voice. However, do not lower the volume of the voice. Avoid speaking with a rising intonation, like asking a question. Use a flat or falling intonation, like giving an answer. |
| What to Say | Personal Calling: One-word commands The Personal Calling system listens for only one word at a time. There are some exceptions, 2-word phrases that are spoken and understood as a single word, e.g. "virtual advisor", "voice feedback", and "my number". You can enter phone numbers only one digit at a time, and the system repeats each digit as it hears it. Say "Help" at the Ready prompt to hear the list of Personal Calling commands. Virtual Advisor can understand sentences with more than one word. It also expects to hear a 4-digit number all at once when it asks for your PIN. Say, "What are my choices?" to hear a list of commands that the Virtual Advisor understands. |
| Entering a phone number | If you have trouble getting numbers correctly into the system, store your frequently-called number in the directory, so the system will remember them. After you have stored a number with a nametag, then you simply say "call" and the nametag in order to call the number. If the system cannot understand your numbers, ask another person to help you enter your frequently-called numbers. This person can speak the numbers, then you can speak the nametag. |
| Storing or dialing a number | When you have finished speaking your phone number, you do not need to say "store" or "dial" to indicate that you are done. If you pause and say nothing, the system will ask you if you want to store or dial. Say "yes". |
| Creating nametags | Short nametags that are similar may be easily confused by the system. You may get better recognition of your nametags if you make them longer, for example "George Washington" without pause, instead of "George" only. If you want to use nametags while driving, it is best to store the nametag with some vehicle noise in the background. If you are in park while you are storing nametags, you can turn the fan on low or open windows in order to create some background noise. |
| Virtual Advisor 4-digit PIN | Say the 4 digits in a natural way, without pausing between digits. |
| Interrupting | When the Virtual Advisor is speaking, you can interrupt it with another command. The first word in your command helps to get its attention. If the Virtual Advisor has trouble understanding your commands when you interrupt, try speaking the first word loudly and clearly, then pause for an instant, then continue with the rest of the command. For example: "Get .. my weather" or "Lookup... a quote for General Motors". |
General Tips for Better Speech Recognition
The entertainment system on this vehicle may have several different configurations available to it. To determine the specific configuration of the vehicle, please see the Service Parts ID Label, and refer to RPO Code List .
The entertainment system on this vehicle is configured with either a base or an uplevel system. The base and uplevel systems each contain a radio, antenna, speakers, and on some systems an audio amplifier. The uplevel system differs from the base system by providing the customer with enhanced audio system features. Some of those features may include the radio data system (RDS), an audio amplifier, programmable equalizer (EQ), and digital satellite radio (U2K).
Each item in the list below represents topics covered in detail below.

The radio is supplied power by a fused B+ circuit. The radio does not use a discrete ignition feed circuit for power moding. The power mode master (PMM) provides the system power mode to the radio via serial data messages. The PMM determines the system power mode by processing power mode information from ignition switch inputs. Serial data power modes supported by the radio are OFF, ACCESSORY, RUN, and CRANK REQUEST.
The vehicle harness provides a ground for the radio circuits. The radio may also be case grounded.
The radio communicates with other modules via serial data.
At minimum volume, the plus (+) and minus (-) speaker outputs are approximately half battery voltage, measured to vehicle ground. As the volume increases, the plus and minus change to create a voltage difference between each other either driving the voice coil of the speaker, or being fed to an amplifier.
Dimming and backlighting levels are determined by the serial data messages the radio receives.
The Radio Faceplate is a separate component from the radio. The faceplate contains the radio control knobs and buttons for all audio functions. In addition, the HVAC head controls are part of the faceplate. The faceplate communicates with the radio through serial data and directly connects to the radio. When the operator rotates a radio knob to change radio stations or increase the volume a message is sent to the radio over serial data. After receiving the message the radio will make the adjustment. Other messages communicated between the radio and the faceplate includes the following
- The content for the monochrome display
- Button presses / knob rotations
- Commands for the state of indicators
| IMPORTANT | Radio systems with the antenna(s) in the glass are subject to possible interference when an aftermarket window tint is applied. |
The diversity antenna system may use both front and back windows with an integral antenna built between the glass layers of the windshield and as an applique to the rear glass. Any damage to the antenna requires replacing the glass. This system is designed to deliver the best radio signal reception possible. Two antennas are used to form a diversity system. The primary antenna is part of the rear window and looks similar to the defogger grid. This antenna receives both AM and FM signals. The secondary antenna is part of the front windshield and receives only FM signals.
The antenna reception signals are sorted out by the radio antenna module. The radio antenna module is enabled when the radio is turned on. When the AM or FM band is selected on the radio, the antenna module connects the rear window antenna directly to the radio. In addition, when the FM band is selected an enable signal is sent to the antenna module. Superimposed on this enable signal is the strength of the signal being received by the radio tuner. The antenna module switches between the antennas, monitoring the radio signal strength and combines the signals and phase aligns them to create one strong signal.
The radio signal is sent from a broadcast station and is then received by an antenna. The strength of the signal received depends on the following
- The power output (wattage) of the broadcasting station
- The location of the vehicle (or receiver) relative to the broadcast tower.
- Obstacles between the tower and the receiver
- Atmospheric conditions
- What band (AM or FM) the station is broadcasting
- Type of antenna and the ground plane
The AM band has a lower frequency range than the FM band. These longer wavelengths
- Bend around Obstacles
- Follow the curvature of the earth
- May reflect off the ionosphere (skip)
The AM frequencies have longer range due to the ground wave. The ground wave follows the curvature of the earth and is effected by its conductivity. Greater conductivity equates to less signal loss thus transmission over water is better than over land. The AM band has a range of 80-320 km (50-200 miles).
The shorter wavelengths of the higher frequency FM band
- Reflect off obstacles
- Are absorbed by the ground
- Penetrate the ionosphere
Broadcasts in the FM band are limited to line of sight reception which is typically 40 km (25 miles). Even when out of a direct line of sight, the signal may be reflected into areas that would be in a shadow otherwise. Factors which affect the line of sight include
- Height of the broadcast antenna
- Height of the receiving antenna
- Terrain and buildings in the broadcast path
XM satellite radio provides digital radio reception. The XM signal is broadcast from two satellites and, where necessary, terrestrial repeaters. The high power satellites allow the antenna to receive the XM signal even when foliage and other partial obstructions block the antennas view of the satellite. Terrestrial repeaters are used in dense urban areas. These repeaters will receive the satellite signal and re-broadcast them at much higher power levels in order to ensure reception in areas with densely packed tall buildings. A service fee is required in order to receive the XM service.
The digital radio receiver (DRR) is internal to the Radio.
Speakers turn electrical energy into mechanical energy to move air, using a permanent magnet and an electromagnet. The electromagnet is energized when the radio or amplifier (if equipped) delivers current to the voice coil on the speaker. The voice coil will form a north and south pole that will cause the voice coil and the speaker cone to move in relation to the permanent magnet. The current delivered to the speaker is rapidly changing alternating current (A/C). This causes the speaker cone to move in two directions producing sound. When the speaker is at rest, such as when the volume at a minimum value, the voltage applied to each side of the speaker is 1/2 ignition system voltage. This way, the speaker cone can be moved in either direction.
A fused battery voltage circuit provides the main amplifier power. Serial data is used to control the power - state of the amplifier. To respond quickly to audio input and control signals, the amplifier is ON in all vehicle power modes except OFF and CRANK Request.
The purpose of the amplifier is to increase the power of a voltage or current signal. The output signal of an amplifier may consist of the same frequencies as the input signal or it may consist of only a portion of the frequencies as in the case of a subwoofer or midrange speaker. The radio creates a low level stereo audio output signal, which is sent at the user-defined volume level to the audio amplifier. The audio amplifier amplifies the signal and sends it to the appropriate speakers.
The radio may be equipped with the Radio Data System (RDS). The RDS feature is available only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information. This system relies upon receiving specific information from these stations and only works when the information is available. While the radio is tuned to an FM-RDS station, the station name or call letters display.
RDS data is carried in what is known as a "subcarrier". A subcarrier is a frequency that the FM broadcaster is authorized to use to send data that is not audible in the main audio program.
- RDS functions will only work with FM broadcast stations that are broadcasting RDS data.
- Not all FM Broadcast stations broadcast RDS data or offer all of the RDS services.
- The information displayed is dependent upon the information broadcast by the particular station. The information may vary greatly between stations.
- RDS functions may not work properly when reception is weak, reception is of poor quality, or RDS is not implemented properly by the FM Broadcaster.
- In some cases, a radio station broadcasting incorrect information may cause the RDS features of the radio to appear to work improperly.
With RDS, the radio can do the following
- Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of programming
- Receive announcements concerning local and national emergencies
- Display messages from radio stations
RDS may display text information such as
- The name of the station.
- The type of program.
- General information such as artist and song title, call in phone numbers, etc.
- ALERT!: Alert warns of local or national emergencies. When an alert announcement comes on the current radio station, ALERT! displays. You will hear the announcement, even if the volume is low or a CD is playing. If a CD is playing, play stops during the announcement. Alert announcements cannot be turned off. ALERT! is not affected by tests of the emergency broadcast system. This feature is not supported by all RDS stations.
- INFO (Information): If the current station has a message, the information symbol or INFO displays. Press this button to see the message. The message can display the artist, song title, call in phone numbers, etc. If the entire message can not be displayed, parts of the message appear every three seconds. To scroll through the message, press and release the INFO button. A new group of words displays after every press of this button. Once the complete message has displayed, the information symbol or INFO disappears from the display until another new message is received. The last message is displayed by pressing the INFO button. View the last message until a new message is received or you tune to a different station.
The MP3/CD equipped radios will play standard audio CDs, and MP3/WMA files that were recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc. Customers who record their own music CDs should be aware of the following
- The radio will only play audio from a CD-R/RW, it cannot record audio.
- Standard audio and MP3/WMA files should not be mixed on a disc.
- Song title, artist name, and album can display when files are recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
- Long file, folder, or playlist names, or a combination of a large number of files and folders, or playlists can cause the player to be unable to play up to the maximum number of files, folders, playlists, or sessions.
- The radio supports multi-session discs, but only the files from the last session will be played.
The integral multi disc CD changer has the capability of storing and playing up to six (6) compact discs. The integral multi disc CD changer has a shock-absorbing system. Only under extreme operating temperatures or severe shock or vibration should the compact disc player skip or mute. If the customer travels an abnormally rough road, a skip condition may be normal. Test drive the vehicle on a normal road with a known good CD. If the condition is still present, replace the radio. The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
The CD mechanism within the ICDX radio will begin an initialization routine after a battery connect (e.g., connecting radio connector X1). The initialization process takes approximately 25 seconds to complete. It is very critical that the initialization is completed before removing battery power from the radio, in order for the complex moving parts of the CD mechanism to be positioned properly before shipping and/or handling purposes. Damage may result to the moving parts of the CD mechanism if battery power is removed during the initialization routine. The damage occurs to the CD mechanism during subsequent shipping or handling operations. The extent of the damage causes the CD mechanism not to recover and the mechanism becomes inoperative.
The radio theft deterrent system is intended to disable radio functionality if incorrect vehicle information is received by the radio. The radio disables functionality if the vehicle identification number (VIN) sequence received by the radio (A VIN sequence is usually the last six digits of the VIN.) does not match the VIN information learned by the radio. The radio receives this information in a GMLAN frame form.
The radio provides the following theft operating modes as part of the radio theft deterrent system
- No VIN Mode - A radio that has not received or learned a VIN. In this mode the radio has limited functionality.
- Normal Mode - A radio has received a VIN sequence. The radio only learns the VIN sequence if the VIN sequence contained all six digits. In this mode the radio has full functionality.
- Theft Detected Mode - A radio that had previously learned a VIN sequence and subsequently received a VIN sequence not matching the learned sequence. In this mode the radio has limited functionality.
The Radio may display the following Error Messages (Not all messages may be applicable)
- ERR: This message is displayed when the radio is unable to play the inserted cassette or CD
- LOC: This message is displayed when the radio has entered Theft mode.
- CAL/CAL ERR: This message is displayed when the radio has detected an invalid calibration.
- CDX ERR: Displays if communication is lost with the remote CD changer.
- CHECK CD: Displays when the player encounters a focus or tracking error.
- CHK CDXX: Displays when the CD changer encounters a focus or tracking error.
- CHK TAPE: Displays if a tape has been inserted but is unable to be played due to an error.
- DOOR OPEN: Displays when the CD changer door has been left open.
- NO DISC: Displays when the radio expected a disc to be inserted.
- NONE: Displays when the radio is unable to detect the vehicle speed data information via the serial data circuit.
If an error message is displayed, perform the appropriate diagnostics.
When OnStar is activated, a serial data message is sent to the radio that activates a software program. When the software begins its process, the fade goes to the front, Bass and Treble are set to the mid range, the outputs are mono, and the audio source is OnStar. OnStar takes priority over any other audio source. All of these actions are preset values stored in the radio.
For additional OnStar information, refer to OnStar Description and Operation .
Some audio functions are available using the steering wheel controls. The steering wheel controls duplicate the function of the primary controls available on the radio.
For additional information on steering wheel controls, refer to Steering Wheel Controls Description and Operation .
A remote 3.5mm auxiliary stereo jack and USB connector allows playback of audio signals from remote devices (e.g., laptop computer, iPod, MP3 player, etc.). The remote Aux jack/USB adapter is located in the center console bin. The radio detects the presence or absence of an audio mini-plug through the AuxJackDetect input. When the audio mini-plug is inserted in the Aux Detect Switch the mechanical switch closes. When removed the switch is open.
This is not an audio output; do not plug a headphone set into the front auxiliary input jack.
The USB connector uses the USB standards, 1.1 and 2.0. This type of connector supports rates for low speed (1.5 Mb/s), full speed (12 Mb/s), and high speed (480 Mb/s).
USB Supported Devices
- USB Flash Sticks (Thumb Drives)

The rear seat entertainment (RSE) uses a switched battery voltage feed circuit for power moding. The radio outputs power to this circuit via the entertainment remote enable signal circuit.
The vehicle harness provides a ground for the RSE circuits.
The RSE does not communicate with serial data.
At minimum volume, the plus (+) and minus (-) audio signals are approximately half battery voltage, measured to vehicle ground. These audio signals are sent from the radio to the Infrared Module, most systems have a common minus (-) signal.
The RSE system includes
- A Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) player
- A video display screen
- Two sets of wireless infrared headphones
- A remote control
- Stereo audio and video inputs in the overhead console for playing an auxiliary device
The DVD player is integrated into the radio, and will display on the rear screen. The DVD player can be controlled by both the buttons on the DVD player and by the buttons on the remote control. The DVD player power may be turned on when the ignition is in the run, accessory, or retained accessory power (RAP) power modes. DVDs are manufactured with different region codes based on the country in which they are sold. Therefore, the RSE system DVD player is only compatible with the region code where the vehicle is sold. The DVD region code is printed on the jacket of most DVDs. Home recorded CDs, CD-R or CD-RW formats, may not play in the DVD player.
To play a disc, gently insert the disc with the label side up, into the loading slot. The DVD player will continue to load the disc and the player will automatically start if the vehicle ignition is in an enabled power mode. If a disc is already in the player, press the play/pause button on the face of the DVD player or on the remote control. Some DVDs will not allow the user to fast forward or skip the copyright or previews. Some DVDs will automatically begin to play after the previews have finished. If the DVD does not begin to play the main title, refer to the on-screen instructions, and press play on the DVD player buttons or on the remote control.
The following errors may be displayed on the video screen monitor.
The RSE system may have a Parental Control feature, depending on which radio the vehicle has. To start Parental Control, press and hold the radio power button for more than two seconds to stop all system features such as: radio, video screen, RSA, DVD and/or CD. While Parental Control is on, a padlock icon displays. The radio can be turned back on with a single press of the power button, but the RSE system will remain under Parental Control. To turn Parental Control off, press and hold the radio power button for more than two seconds. The RSE returns from where it was previously left and the padlock icon disappears from the radio display. Parental Control can also be turned off by inserting or ejecting any disc, pressing the play icon on the radio DVD display menu, or changing an ignition position.
The rear display screen shows video from either DVD movies, or an AUX input device, such as a video game console or camera. Each video screen has a dedicated video signal circuit to the radio.
To use the remote control, aim it at the infrared window below the video screen and press the desired remote control button. Direct sunlight or very bright light may affect the ability of the entertainment system to receive signals from the remote control. If the remote control does not seem to be working, the batteries may need to be replaced. Objects blocking the line of sight may affect the function of the remote control.
If the remote control is to be stored for a long period of time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool, dry place. Do not store the remote control in heat or direct sunlight. This could damage the remote control. Keep the remote control stored in a cool, dry place.
Wireless headphones are optional and allow for rear seat passengers to use the RSE or RSA functions without disturbing the listening of front seat passengers. The wireless headphones receive audio signals from the infrared (IR) transmitters on the overhead console. This transmission is line of sight only, so audio quality will be degraded if anything blocks the transmitter signal from reaching the headphones. On some models, the infrared transmitter will have red LEDs illuminated when the RSE is activated.
The wireless headphones include 2 channels. This allows rear seat passengers to utilize both RSE and RSA functions without disturbing one another. The toggle switch on the right side headphone earpiece switches between channel one and channel 2. RSE is broadcast on channel one, and RSA on channel 2.
Each set of headphones has a rotary volume control. To adjust the volume, adjust this control. The headphones may automatically turn OFF if they lose the infrared signal from the system for approximately 4 minutes in order to preserve their battery power. The signal may be lost if the system is turned off or if the headphones are out of range of the infrared signal transmitters that are located near the video display screen.
The AUX input jacks are standard color-coded RCA-style jacks. Video is yellow, right audio is red, and left audio is white. The jacks are located on the rear of the center console. A number of devices may be plugged into the AUX jacks, including, but not limited to video game consoles, digital cameras, camcorders, or other devices. Audio only sources can be played through the AUX jacks from portable audio devices. Turn on the RSA, press the SOURCE key repeatedly until AUX is selected or touch the AUX screen button. An auxiliary device must be connected for the AUX screen button to appear as an option to select on the radio.
The RSA is integrated into the rear HVAC control module. Audio, video source are controlled by the radio through serial data communication. Some sources are; radio (AM/FM), XM™ (if equipped), CD, and if the vehicle has these features, DVD, front auxiliary, and rear auxiliary.
The rear speaker channels pass through the RSA. The rear seat audio can be muted by the RSA when in use. The RSE system includes a radio with a DVD player, a video display screen, 2 wireless headphones, and a remote control.
Audio from the DVD player or auxiliary inputs may be heard through the following possible sources
- Wireless infrared headphones
- Vehicle speakers
- Vehicle wired headphone jacks on rear seat audio controller (if equipped)
The RSE system will always transmit the audio signal by infrared to the wireless headphones, if there is audio available. The RSE system is capable of outputting audio to the vehicle speakers. Once the RSE system is selected as an audio source on the radio you may adjust the speaker volume on the radio to control the volume of the audio to the speakers.
The RSE system is capable of outputting audio to the wired headphone jacks on the rear seat audio controller if the vehicle is so equipped. The RSE system may be selected as an audio source on the Rear Seat Audio controller if the RSE system power is on.
The RSA controller is equipped with two 2.5 mm jacks for wired headphones. The headphones can be used to listen to either the RSE or RSA functions. If both RSE and RSA are used at the same time, the wired headphones may receive only RSA audio.
To use the wired headphones, plug the headphones into the jacks. The left knob controls the left headphones and the right knob controls the right headphones.
