System Description: Overview: Notes

The audio-navigation unit or audio unit acts as the processor for all audio functions.

To select audio functions, use one of the following inputs:

• Audio unit or audio-navigation unit
• Audio remote switch on the steering wheel
• Navigation voice control system (with navigation)

The audio display provides the current audio status. For vehicles with navigation, additional audio information is available by touching the audio button on the navigation screen (See the owner's manual and the navigation system information for more details.).

The audio system is equipped with the auxiliary input jack (AUX) in the center panel (Except DX model without navigation), or in the center lower trim (with navigation and DX model without navigation). The system accepts auxiliary audio inputs using a 3.5 mm stereo miniplug.

The audio unit has a built-in EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory). This memory holds the audio presets (AM/FM radio frequency, sound settings, etc.) even when the 12 volt battery is disconnected.

A security signal is daisy-chained between the audio and vehicle components for integration into the vehicle's security system.
