^ Dimming:
All radios feature continuously dimmable nighttime incandescent back lighting for the graphics on the pushbuttons and trimplate. The incandescent back lighting voltage is supplied from the vehicle light switch and is grounded through the radio wiring harness and the radio ground strap. The internal lamps are controlled by the high side pulse width modulated (PWM) dimmer control circuit through the BCM.

The LCD is backlit whenever ignition voltage is applied regardless if the radio power knob is on or off. When the vehicle's exterior lights are turned On, the interior lights knob, which is found to the left of the steering wheel, can be turned to adjust the illumination of the radio. Turning the knob clockwise makes the light get brighter, while turning the knob counter-clockwise results in the light being dimmer.

^ OnStar Compatible: Audio inputs, and mute control allow the radio speakers to be used for OnStar communication.

^ On-Board Diagnostics: On-board diagnostics (OBD) are available to check:

^ If speakers are functioning correctly at two different tones.
^ If all segments on the LCD light up.
^ If all buttons are working.
^ What equalization mode the radio is set at.
