During radio reception, the digital radio signals are received by the antenna system and transmitted to the remote digital audio receiver (RDAR) (16/145) where they are decoded. The remote digital audio receiver (RDAR) then transmits the signals onwards via the MOST network to the infotainment control module(ICM) (3/281) and the integrated audio module (IAM) (16/1) or the audio module (AUD) (16/105) depending on the vehicle configuration.

Remote Digital Audio Receiver (RDAR) uses the signal, satellite or terrestrial, which is strongest at the time.
