- Speed sensitive volume
- Accessory delay
- MP3 capability
- Audio input jack
The following options are also available:
- Steering wheel controls
- Satellite radio

- SYNC System
- Provides mobile phone and media device functionality with the vehicle audio system
AM/FM Antenna - Fusion, Milan
The antenna can be either an AM/FM antenna or a combination AM/FM/satellite radio antenna if the vehicle is equipped with satellite radio.
AM/FM Antenna - MKZ
The AM/FM antenna is located in the rear glass. It cannot be replaced separate from the rear glass.
Satellite Radio
The satellite radio system is comprised of the following:
- Satellite radio receiver built-in to the ACM
- Combination AM/FM/satellite radio antenna (Fusion, Milan)
- Standalone satellite radio antenna (MKZ)
- Satellite radio antenna cable
The satellite radio antenna is a stand-alone antenna on the MKZ, or is a combination AM/FM/satellite antenna on the Fusion/Milan. The satellite radio antenna cable connects the satellite radio antenna to the ACM.
The satellite radio antenna cable is not removable from the wiring harnesses.
Navigation System
The navigation system consists of the following:
- Navigation ACM
- GPS antenna
- Satellite radio/GPS splitter cable (part of the front satellite radio antenna cable)
- Microphone (integral to 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.
SYNC System
The SYNC system consists of the following:
- APIM
- SYNC-specific steering wheel controls
- Microphone (integral to the auto-dimming interior mirror)
- USB port and cable
- 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
- Provide hands-free access to traffic reports, turn-by-turn driving directions, business listings, news, sports, and weather
The GPSM works with the SYNC system to provide vehicle location on vehicles not equipped with navigation, as the vehicle location must be known for the traffic, directions, and information features to operate correctly.
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.
