Section 261 (Audio System): Audio/Video: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2004 Dodge Caravan, and 2004 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

An audio system is standard factory-installed equipment on this model. A rear seat video system is an available option. Several combinations of radio receivers are offered on this model. The audio/video system uses an ignition switched source of battery current so that the system will only operate when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCESSORY/ ACCESSORY DELAY positions.

The audio system includes the following components:

Antenna
CD changer (if equipped)
DVD player (if equipped)
Radio noise suppression components
Radio receiver
Speakers
Video screen (if equipped)

Certain functions and features of the audio/video system rely upon resources shared with other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) bus network. The data bus network allows the sharing of sensor information. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the data bus network, the use of a DRBIII(R) scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures are recommended.

Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete standard and premium audio system circuit diagrams. The wiring information includes proper wire and connector repair procedures, further details on wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin-out and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices, and grounds.
