id0920z9012000
Purpose, Function
• Converts radio broadcast waves to electric signals and sends the signals to the audio unit.
Construction
• Two types of center roof antennas are available as follows:
-
― Type A (with rod)
― Type B (without rod)
Type A
-
• The center roof antenna consists of an antenna rod which converts the received radio waves to electric signals, and an antenna base with a built-in antenna amplifier which amplifies the electric signals.
• To prevent the roof antenna from contacting obstructions above the vehicle, the antenna rod is manually foldable to 127°. It is also removable.
Type B
-
• A center roof antenna has been adopted which does not require retraction or removal before going through an automatic car wash machine.
• The center roof antenna has an integrated antenna amplifier which amplifies the electric signal.
Operation
1. When the ignition is switched to ACC or ON (engine off or on), power is supplied from the audio unit to the antenna amplifier inside the center roof antenna.
2. The center roof antenna converts the received radio waves of a radio broadcast to an electric signal.
3. The center roof antenna amplifies the converted electric signal using the antenna amplifier and sends the signal to the audio unit.
Fail-safe
• Function not equipped.
