Integrated Audio Module (IAM) [2012-2016]: Function
AUDIO UNIT
The integrated audio module (IAM) functions as a stereo system in the vehicle and is connected to other control modules on the MOST network.
Integrated audio module (IAM) controls settings for:
- Volume
- Bass
- Treble
- Balance
- Fader
- Equalizer
Integrated Audio Module (IAM) has support for reception of digital HD-radio (High performance, High performance multimedia, and Premium sound multimedia). HD-radio is sent digitally on the AM and FM-band, respectively, in the USA. Integrated Audio Module (IAM) will automatically change to reception of digital HD-radio if it is available on the relevant frequency and of the function for HD-radio is selected in the user menu. When Integrated Audio Module (IAM) receives digital HD-radio, a symbol for HD-radio is shown in Infotainment control module (ICM).
The integrated audio module (IAM) lowers the volume from the current source when the control module receives other audio information, such as indication from the parking assistance function or phone call.
If the vehicle is equipped with a navigation system, voice information is played via the existing speakers.
REMOTE CONTROL
The steering wheel remote control (standard/option) is directly connected to the steering wheel switch right (SWSR). The remote control can be used to change volume (increase/decrease) and change the set radio stations. During playback of CD or USB/iPod the buttons are used for track selection. The steering wheel switch right (SWSR) communicates with the infotainment control module (ICM) via the LIN bus. ICM then sends the signals on to the integrated audio module (IAM) via the MOST network.
