Module, Radio Receiver: Description
The radio can be identified by its sales code. The chassis design is the same for all radios. The radio has the electronics mounted parallel to the face plate in an aluminum chassis.
The radio is identified by a 213 mm (8.4 inch) color touchscreen display. All radios have High Definition (HD) radio reception and can be identified by the HD symbol located on the screen when the radio is in radio mode. If the radio will not power up, the only way to identify the system is through a direct Single VIN inquiry using Service Library or the TechCONNECT application on the DealerCONNECT web site.
