Description And Operation: Radio
| Refer to COMPONENT INDEX . |
The radio becomes operational when it receives a wake up signal over the CAN-IHS data bus indicating the status of the ignition switch is ON or Accessory. For additional information on the operation of the radio or media system in the vehicle, review the heading for the appropriate audio system option in the User Guide or the Owner Manual. See the Uconnect® web site (https://www.driveuconnect.com/ ) for more information, or refer to the For Owners link on the vehicle brand web site for copies of those publications.
The Power Distribution Center (PDC) supplies fused B(+) to the radio.
The radio uses a fender mounted antenna for AM/FM signal reception and, depending upon vehicle optional equipment, a roof mounted combination antenna that can receive GPS and satellite radio signals.
Depending upon the audio system options, the radio can play audio from many different media sources. The media can be played by connecting the source to the audio system via a 3.5 millimeter auxiliary (AUX) port, a USB port or through wireless Bluetooth® audio streaming. Refer to the Uconnect® web site (https://www.driveuconnect.com/ ) for compatibility information.
USB devices (for example, camera memory USB adaptors, USB drives and others, excluding Apple products) must comply with the Mass Storage Device (MSD) standard. This remote USB port can provide power to the inserted device.
