- SYNC(R) system

Satellite Radio

The satellite system consists of the following:

- Satellite radio receiver built into the ACM
- Satellite radio antenna
- Satellite radio antenna cables

Navigation System

The navigation system consists of the following:

- Navigation ACM with HD Radio(R)
- GPS antenna
- Satellite radio/ GPS splitter cable
- Microphone

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.

For vehicles with the SYNC(R) system and without navigation, turn-by-turn navigation is available as a subscription service.

HD Radio(R)

HD Radio(R) is a free public digital radio broadcast. Radio stations transmit digital AM and FM audio and data (such as station call letters, artist, and title). HD Radio(R) channels duplicate analog channels; in addition, some HD Radio(R) channels subdivide (multicast) the digital signal into multiple channels that do not have analog equivalents.

SYNC(R) System

The SYNC(R) system consists of the following:

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

SYNC(R) 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
- Provide turn-by-turn traffic directions through the use of the signal received by the GPSM

While SYNC(R) supports many features, not all features are available with every phone. For example, text messaging is supported by SYNC(R) but not available with most phones.

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

MyKey(R)

When a MyKey(R) restricted key is in use and the speed limiter is turned on, the speed compensated volume is disabled. When the speed limiter is turned off or an administrator key is used, the speed compensated volume is enabled.
