Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Radio

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Radios with a hard disk drive (RPO U2S and UAV) are able to record songs from Audio CDs, MP3 / WMA discs, and USB mass storage devices. The hard drive has a 40GB memory capacity. A portion of the HDD is used for the storage of radio system files. The remainder of the HDD capacity is available for the storage of media files. Refer to the owner's manual on using the HDD feature.

IMPORTANT:
  • The audible.com® playback requires activation of the vehicle as a player for the downloaded content. The radio system activates the audible.com® system when information is found on either a CD inserted into the CD/DVD-A player or if a USB storage device is connected. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) number is required in order to activate your vehicle.
  • If the radio needs to be replaced the hard drive needs to be cleared before sending the radio back to the Electronic Service Center. Use the scan tool to perform this function.

The radio is able to play back audio - book content downloaded from www.audible.com®. This content can be transferred into the HDD by either burning it to a CD or copying it to a USB storage device and then recording it to the HDD.
