Control Module
The system for digital radio reception consists of:
- antenna for digital satellite and terrestrial radio
- Remote Digital Audio Receiver (RDAR)
Remote Digital Audio Receiver (RDAR) has the task of receiving digital satellite and terrestrial radio signaler. The Remote Digital Audio Receiver (RDAR) uses the signal which is the strongest at that instant.
Frequency range for radio reception:
- satellite transmitter 2320.0 - 2332.5 MHz
- terrestrial 2324.2 - 2328.3 MHz
The Remote Digital Audio Receiver (RDAR) has CD-like quality. The quality of the sound does not deteriorate in the event of poor reception, the sound is turned off temporarily instead. For example, if the antenna is obscured by a roof box.
A Volvo SIRIUS satellite radio subscription must be activated in order for the satellite radio to function. Activation is carried out by the customer ringing Sirius and giving the serial number of the Remote Digital Audio Receiver (RDAR). The serial number can be obtained in the display for the Infotainment module (ICM).
