Radio

AM/FM Radio
- Radio signal for AM/FM radio is received by the antenna line printed on rear window.
- There are main and sub lines for the print of antenna line. Main is used for AM and FM, and sub is used for FM.
  NOTE: For FM radio with FM diversity function, AV control unit selects from main or sub the antenna that receives the higher signal strength.
- Antenna amp. is connected to the main antenna line, which receives the antenna amp. ON signal from the AV control unit and transmits the antenna signal to the AV control unit after amplifying the signal received from the AM and FM antennas.
- AV control unit transmits the sound signal to the BOSE amp when the antenna signal is received from the window antenna (main or sub).
- BOSE amp. transmits the sound signal received from AV control unit to each speaker.
Satellite Radio
- Satellite radio tuner is built into AV control unit.
- Sound signal (satellite radio) is received by satellite radio antenna and is transmitted to AV control unit. AV control unit outputs sound signal to BOSE amp. The signal is also outputted from BOSE amp. to each speaker.

AV control unit integrates the mechanism for reading the data stored in CD.

Music playback
- When AV control unit reads the music data from CD, it transmits the sound signal to BOSE amp.
- BOSE amp. transmits the sound signal received from AV control unit to each speaker.

USB Connection

USB port is located in the external data input box.
When iPod ^® or USB memory is connected to the USB port, the external data input box transmits the music data and text data in iPod ^® or USB memory device to the AV control unit via USB communication.
When AV control unit transmits the sound signal, it transmits the sound signal to BOSE amp.
BOSE amp. transmits the sound signal received from AV control unit to each speaker.
When AV control unit receives the text data from external data input box, it displays the text data (artist, album, and song title) on the display.

AUX

Auxiliary input jacks are located in the external data input box.
When sound data is input into the auxiliary input jacks, the external data input box transmits the AUX sound signal to the AV control unit.
When AV control unit receives the AUX sound signal, it transmits the sound signal to BOSE amp.
BOSE amp. transmits the sound signal received from AV control unit to each speaker.

Bluetooth ^® Audio

Bluetooth ^® module is integrated in the AV control unit.
Music data, artist, album, and song title in a portable audio device can be played/displayed via Bluetooth ^® communication.
When AV control unit receives the music data from a portable audio device via Bluetooth ^® communication, it transmits the sound signal to BOSE amp.
BOSE amp. transmits the sound signal received from AV control unit to each speaker.
When AV control unit receives the text data from a portable audio device via Bluetooth ^® communication, it displays the text data (artist, album, and song title) on the display.
For further information about Bluetooth ^® compliant profile, Refer to Component Description .

BOSE ^® Centerpoint ^®

BOSE ^® Centerpoint ^® provides a surround-sound effect, based on a stereo sound source, such as CD, MP3, WMA, and AAC.
The BOSE amp. receives a BOSE ^® Centerpoint ^® ON signal from AV control unit during a stereophonic sound playback and divides the sound among five channels to add a sense of simulated surround playback sound.

BOSE ^® AudioPilot ^® Noise Compensation Technology

BOSE ^® AudioPilot ^® continuously corrects audio signals to compensate for background noise.
BOSE ^® AudioPilot ^® noise compensation technology is a sound improving system that picks up by a front microphone any noises or the sound of music coming into the vehicle, and that uses the BOSE amp. to revise the frequency feature of music in real time in response to the frequency feature of the noise while driving and listening to music.

*: DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor and enables digital processing of sound signals. DSP features precise signal processing and calculation with the digital technology on a small scale that analog methods find it difficult to process and calculate.

Audio Indicator

The status of the audio system is displayed on the information display in the combination meter.
The AV control unit transmits the meter display signal as the audio status to the combination meter via AV communication.
When combination meter receives the meter display signal, the audio status is displayed on the information display in combination meter.
