The amplitude modulation (AM)/frequency modulation (FM) antennas are located in the side and rear widow. On vehicles with the low line audio system the antenna is located in the right-hand (RH) rear side screen. On vehicles with a high line audio systems the system will be equipped with FM diversity tuning. This system ensures that the strongest of two signals is used by the radio system to ensure the best possible FM reception. The standard AM/FM antenna is screen mounted in the RH rear side window and is connected to an antenna amplifier located above the screen. The diversity system uses the same side window antenna and amplifier but also uses a rear heated screen element antenna and an FM antenna amplifier mounted at the top of the rear screen in the tail gate.
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) signals are received through the normal radio signals via the RDS network. The signals are routed separately form the radio signals via a separate antenna amplifier located on the RH rear side window.
For additional information, refer to: Navigation System - Description & Operation
- The module is fitted to the tailgate inner panel above the rear windscreen.
Scheme 3
Where a television system is specified there are four TV antenna elements two in each of the rear side windows. Each element has an antenna amplifier which is connected to the TV tuner module by a coaxial cable.
For additional information, refer to: appropriate service information.
Scheme 4
The roof mounted pod contains several antennas and is available in two variants
- Multi-band Telephone and GPS antenna
- Multi-band Telephone, SDARS and GPS antenna (NAS only).
The multiband telephone antenna is located in the roof mounted pod, which is located in the center of the roof at the rear of the vehicle and is connected directly to the Telephone Control Module (TCM) via a single coaxial cable.
For additional information, refer to: CELLULAR PHONE
The SDARS antenna is located in the roof mounted pod, which is located in the center of the roof at the rear of the vehicle. The SDARS antenna has two connections to the SDARS tuner, one for satellite transmissions the other for terrestrial transmissions from repeater stations.
The antenna comprises two antenna elements
- printed dipole antenna for receiving satellite signals
- A printed monopole antenna for receiving terrestrial signals
The two antennas allow the system to receive SDARS transmissions in built up areas where signals form satellites would normally be blocked.
For additional information, refer to: AUDIO SYSTEM
The GPS antenna is located in the roof mounted pod. The GPS antenna is connected to the navigation computer by a coaxial cable.
For additional information, refer to: Navigation System - Description & Operation
Scheme 5
The VICS control module uses the rear RH side window antenna to receive VICS information. The Control module also uses an infra red beacon antenna located in the middle on top of the instrument panel adjacent to the sunlight sensor.
