Scheme 23: MIT019 MULTI-MEDIA TESTER

MIT019 MULTI-MEDIA TESTER FUNCTIONALITY

The MIT019 Multi-Media Test kit was developed to help diagnose customer concerns with features of the Multi-Media systems in their vehicles. The purpose of this tool is to simulate the following

  1. A known good cell phone
  2. A known good media source (Ipod®, Ipad®, or MP3 players)

Using this tester will determine if the cause of concern is related to a vehicle system concern or the customer`s device being used.

The MIT019 can be used to perform 7 different tests of specific operations

  1. Operation of the AUX port
  2. Operation of the USB port for both power and Audio input concerns
  3. Bluetooth phone pairing
  4. Bluetooth hands free calling (send & receive) phone book push test
  5. Bluetooth streaming audio
  6. Bluetooth SMS messaging - send
  7. Bluetooth SMS messaging - receive

Note. When testing functions of the audio/media system, it is important to verify whether or not the vehicle is equipped with an internal or external Hands Free Module. In some cases the external Hands Free Module controls the operation of the external AUX and USB ports along with the Uconnect functions.

It is important to determine what system features are supported by the audio system in the customer's vehicle and device. For information on the operation and supported features of the vehicle's media system, refer to the flowing websites

BELOW ARE THE 7 FUNCTIONALITY TESTS AVAILABLE USING THE MIT019 MULTI-MEDIA TESTER: AUXILIARY INPUT JACK TEST Go To 2 USB INPUT/OUTPUT TEST Go To 3 BLUETOOTH PAIRING Go To 4 BLUETOOTH HANDS FREE CALLING/PHONEBOOK PUSH TEST Go To 5 BLUETOOTH STREAMING AUDIO TEST Go To 6 BLUETOOTH SMS MESSAGING - SEND Go To 7 BLUETOOTH SMS MESSAGING - RECEIVE Go To 8
  2. AUXILIARY INPUT JACK TEST NOTE: This test is designed to validate the ability of the Audio/Media system to play audio from a customer's device that has been connected to the AUX port on the radio or externally through a UCI (Universal Customer Interface / Multi-Media) port. NOTE: The AUX port cannot supply power to a connected device. Connect the USB and Auxiliary Cable into the vehicle's audio ports. Verify the MIT019 is in AUX Mode. Using the vehicle controls, place the audio system into AUX (Line In) Mode. (Audio system may automatically enter into AUX Mode.) Does the Radio play audio from the MIT019? Yes Audio playback confirms that the Auxiliary Input is working correctly, no system repairs are needed at this time. Check the condition of the customer`s cords and device being used. Check to make sure the customer`s device and cables are compatible with the vehicle system. Check the customer`s device for output and volume setting concerns. Check for updates for the customer`s device relating to the customer`s concern. No If Audio playback does not occur, refer to the appropriate Service Information. Check the Multi-Media ports for damaged connection points or debris in the ports. Check wiring circuits and connections to the AUX port for concerns. Check for vehicle related system updates, STAR cases and TSBs related to the customer`s concern. If no updates are available for the concern, replace the Radio or Hands Free Module in accordance with the Service Information.
  3. USB INPUT/OUTPUT TEST NOTE: This test is designed to validate the ability of the Audio/Media system to play audio from a customer's device that has been connected to the USB port on the radio or the external USB port (Universal Customer Interface (UCI) / Multi- Media port). By connecting the MIT019 to the USB ports it will also determine if the USB port can provide power to a connected device. Connect the USB Cable into the vehicle's USB port. Place the MIT019 into USB Mode. Using the vehicle controls, place the audio system into USB Mode. (Audio system may automatically enter into USB Mode.) Does the Radio play audio from the MIT019? Yes Audio playback confirms that the USB Input is working correctly, no system repairs are needed at this time. Check the condition of the customer`s cords and device being used. Check to make sure the customer`s device and cables are compatible with the vehicle system. Check the customer`s device for output and volume setting concerns. Check for updates for the customer device relating to the customer`s concern. No If Audio playback does not occur, refer to the appropriate Service Information. Check the Multi-Media ports for damaged connection points or debris in the ports. Check wiring circuits and connections to the USB port for concerns.
