AM/FM Antenna

The vehicle is equipped with a fixed-mast AM/FM antenna.

The lower AM/FM antenna cable is connected to the ACM and has an in-line connector (located behind the glove compartment) to the upper AM/FM antenna cable.

Satellite Radio Antenna

The satellite radio antenna is mounted at the RH side of the roof panel. If the vehicle is equipped with satellite radio and navigation, a combination satellite radio/GPS antenna is utilized.

GPS Antenna

The GPS antenna is integral to the satellite radio antenna. A splitter cable separates the GPS signal from the satellite radio signal.

Navigation System

The navigation system consists of the following:

- Navigation ACM
- GPS antenna (integral to the satellite radio antenna)
- Satellite radio/GPS splitter cable (located behind the ACM)
- Microphone (located in the auto-dimming interior mirror)

The ACM controls the operation of the navigation system and the audio system. The system uses a GPS antenna, a vehicle speed input, and other sensor information to accurately establish the vehicle position.

The navigation ACM can be controlled either through the ACM hardkeys, or through the FDIM touchscreen.

SYNC System

The SYNC system consists of the following:

- APIM
- SYNC-specific steering wheel controls
- Microphone
- USB cable and port
- Audio input jack

SYNC is a hands-free communications and entertainment system that allows the following interactions:

- Send and receive phone calls via a Bluetooth-enabled phone
- Send and receive text messages via a Bluetooth-enabled phone
- Connect media devices (such as an iPod(R) or USB flash device) in order to play audio files
- Play media files via a Bluetooth-enabled audio device
- Produce vehicle health reports
- Initiate an emergency call (eCall) when the air bags deploy

Not all features are available with every phone.

For additional information on audio system operation, including the SYNC system, refer to the Owner's Literature.
