Scheme 2
The amplitude modulation (AM)/frequency modulation (FM) antennas are located in the side and rear widow. All vehicles are equipped with FM diversity tuning. This system ensures that the best quality signal is used by the radio system to ensure the best possible FM reception. The standard AM/FM antenna is screen mounted in the LH (left-hand) 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 for FM (frequency modulation) 2 and 3.
Scheme 3
| Item Number | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Roof pod DAB band-L |
| 2 | Antenna amplifier DAB band-III |
The DAB antennas are located in the RH (right-hand) rear side window (band-III) and in the roof mounted pod (band-L). The two antenna circuits each have a co-axial connection to the DAB module. DAB signals are transmitted on either DAB band III (174 - 240 MHz) or DAB band-L (1452 - 1492 MHz). Some countries may only use the band III signals, while others may only use the band-L signals. Some countries use both frequency ranges within the same geographical area. The type of DAB signal received depends on the vehicle market location. The DAB antennas are designed with 50 ohm output impedance. The DAB receiver is fitted with 50 ohm fakra II connectors to ensure compatibility with the antenna. For optimum performance 50 ohm low loss coaxial cable is used between the antenna and receiver.
Scheme 4
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 right-hand (RH) rear side window. For additional information, refer to Navigation System . . The module is fitted to the tailgate inner panel above the rear windscreen.
Scheme 5
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 Video System .
If a vehicles fitted with telestart the RH module is a combined TV/telestart amplifier.
Scheme 6
The roof mounted pod contains several antennas
- global positioning system (GPS) antenna
- SDARS antenna (NAS only).
- DAB antenna (band-L)
The roof mounted pod is a standard fit on all vehicles.
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 one connection to the SDARS tuner for both satellite transmissions.
Antenna element
- A printed dipole antenna for receiving satellite 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 or 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 .
The DAB band-L antenna is mounted within the roof mounted pod.
Scheme 7
The VICS control module is integrated into the touch screen display. The Control module uses an infra red beacon antenna located in the middle on top of the instrument panel adjacent to the sunlight sensor and an antenna amplifier located on the RH top of the tailgate. For additional information, refer to Navigation System .
