Audio And Video - Description






DESCRIPTION

Several combinations of radio receivers and speaker configurations are offered. The audio system uses an ignition switched source of battery current so that the system will only operate when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCESSORY positions.

The radios can be identified by sales code RA1, RA2, RA3, and RA4. An optional navigation radio (RA4) is available on this vehicle.

The RA2, RA3, and RA4 radios all have an internal Hands Free Module (HFM). There is no external HFM because all hands free functions are integrated into the head unit.

NOTE: The Uconnect system with an RA1 radio does not include or support hands-free phone connectivity.

The audio system includes the following components:

- Antenna (radio, satellite, GPS, cellular)

Certain functions and features of the audio system rely upon resources shared with other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN-IHS) bus network. The data bus network allows the sharing of sensor information. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the data bus network, the use of a scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures information is recommended.
