Radio/HVAC Controls
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Cadillac SRX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When equipped with the navigation radio, the radio/HVAC controls communicate radio control inputs directly to the navigation radio with the CAN Graphical Interface (CGI) data circuits. After receiving the message the radio will perform the requested function. Messages communicated between the radio and the radio/HVAC controls include the following:
- Button presses/knob rotations
- Commands for the state of indicators
- Radio control back-lighting
HVAC data for controls and status indicators is communicated between the radio/HVAC controls and the HVAC control module with a separate LIN serial data circuit. HVAC status screen information from the HVAC control module is transmitted to the radio on the GMLAN serial data circuit. The radio then displays the desired screen information on the info display using the video data circuits.
