Radio System, through 29 May 2009

Radio system is a component of the communication system. A radio is no longer installed, rather the Radio (R) consists of a radio tuner with additional connector positions in the left rear luggage compartment.

A Satellite Radio (R146) (SDARS) may also be installed.

Operation is performed via the Multimedia Control Head (E380). Data transfer to Multimedia Control Head and to Digital Sound System Control Module (J525) occurs via the MOST-Bus.

Signals of rear window antenna reach the Radio (R) via the Antenna Amplifier (R24) with integrated Antenna Selection Control Module (J515).

In contrast, SDARS signals from Radio, Telephone, Navigation System Antenna (R52) (Ter/Sat/GPS/GSM-emergency) to Satellite Radio (R146).

The CD changer (R41)/CD player (R89)/mini disc player (R153)/external audio source connection (R199) may also be inside the glove compartment.

Fault finding is performed via "Guided Fault Finding" using the Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System (VAS5051).
