System Description: Overview

The audio unit acts as the "processor" for all audio functions. Select audio functions from the audio unit, the audio remote (on steering wheel), or by using the navigation voice control system. The audio display provides the current audio status. For vehicles with navigation, additional audio information is available by touching the audio button on the Navigation Audio Screen. (See the owner's manual and the navigation user's guide for more details.)

For vehicles with navigation, pressing the "open/close" switch on the navigation display panel allows access to the CD slot and PC card.

A security signal is daisy-chained between the audio and vehicle components for integration into the vehicle's security system.

The navigation system allows voice control for the audio, PC card, and CD player. The GA-Net (audio unit) communicates the voice control commands. When using the TALK/BACK button, the audio is muted on all speakers and you hear navigation sound on the front channels. When using the navigation or route guidance (RG), the front speakers give the navigation sound and the rear speakers continue to play. For more information, see the navigation section. The outline of the interruption function is shown in this table.
