Multimedia Player Interface Module (if equipped)
All non-DVD capable infotainment systems are equipped with a multimedia player interface module. The multimedia player interface module is a device that is capable of receiving inputs from analog or digital audio playback devices. Inputs can be received via the auxiliary input jack, the USB port, or wirelessly via Bluetooth®. The multimedia player interface module and the radio communicate via serial data. Messages are used for the radio to control the input source, and for the multimedia player interface module to send detection information to the radio when devices are connected. The multimedia player interface module is used to provide capability for these inputs in systems where the radio does not provide native support.
The multimedia player interface module receives the inputs from the device, and transfers the audio signals to the radio for playback. All multimedia player interface module inputs are transferred to the radio as analog audio signals via left, right, and common audio circuits.
