Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Saturn Sky and 2010 Pontiac Solstice. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The digital radio receiver (DRR) receives an XM™ satellite radio signal via the digital radio antenna. This signal is passed to the DRR through the digital radio antenna coax. The DRR sends a varying AC mV signal through separate left and right audio circuits (+ and -) to the radio. The voltage amount and rate of change is dependent upon the type of signal being received. The radio then processes these signals and passes the audio to the appropriate speakers or amplifier.
