This performs additional checks on the communication
bus between navigation CPU and the display. In
addition, the test checks the internal electronic
functions.
If the connection is NG, replace the navigation unit.
 Connection verifies internal communications.
 Version represents the software version for the display.
This diagnostic screen checks the internals of the radio
(AM and FM) and CD player. If NG, replace the
navigation unit. This screen looks for problems with the navigation unit.
When you initiate this diagnostic, the navigation unit
may freeze of delay up to a minute while the diagnostic
runs.
 If V-RAM or D-RAM is NG, then replace the navigation unit.
 If GPS indicates NG (ANT), check the entire GPS antenna wire from the navigation unit to the antenna.
If the wire is crushed or damaged, try a known-good
antenna. If this diagnostic reads OK, then order a new
GPS antenna. If the diagnostic still reads NG (ANT),
replace the navigation unit.
 DVD ROM represents the database version on the DVD. You can also find this information in setup by
selecting System Information.
 Serial No. should be the same as the serial number found on the underside of the navigation unit. You
need this number to obtain the security code from the
Interactive Network system.
 Mem Clear is for factory use, and should never be used unless instructed by the factory. Accidental
selection will erase the client’s personal data, PINS,
and settings. If selected, a popup box appears asking
if you want to clear the memory. If so, select Yes.

(With navigation)
The navigation system allows voice control of the audio, XM, PC card, and CD player. Voice control commands are
communicated on the GA-Net (audio unit). When using the navigation TALK/BACK button, the audio is muted on all
speakers and you get 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.

The audio unit can play digital music from portable audio players, USB drive, etc. When the device is plugged into the
USB adapter. The audio unit uses the GA-NET to allow you to control the device from the audio unit when searching
and playing the files. Not all players and player functions work with the USB adapter. Please see the owner’s manual
for more information.
The GA-Net bus passes audio and navigation commands throughout the navigation and audio components.
These commands include navigation touch screen and hard button signals, audio/XM selections by voice, and XM
station and music title names. Because the entire bus is daisy chained between components (see diagram), any open
or short in the GA-Net bus harness will cause any or all of these functions to become inoperative. Naturally the
addition of any audio accessory must maintain the continuity of the GA-Net bus by installing the Y cable included with
the accessory kit.

NOTE: All items may not apply to this vehicle. See the owner’s manual for more information.
Active noise cancellation The active noise cancellation system cancels some of the vehicle noise. This occurs in the 1,500 2,400 rpm range. Microphones detect the low frequency
sound, and the system outputs a canceling sound from the audio speaker.
AM (Amplitude Modulation)
Amplifier A device that increases the level of a signal by increasing the current or voltage.
Antenna A device used to send or receive electromagnetic waves thr ough the air.
ATA (PC Card) A type of card that has been tested for use in playing WMA, and MP3 music files in the PC Card slot. Sizes of up to 1 GB have been tested.
Audio remote switch The switches on the steering wheel that control the audio system.
Auxiliary jack Allows the customer to use a portable audio device to i nput audio recordings.
Balance A control that changes the relative volume of the left and right channels.
Band A range of frequencies between two definite limits. Bands are assigned by the Federal Communications Commission for specific uses.
Bass An adjustment for the low frequency sounds of around 160 Hz and below.
Byte A unit of storage for computer files and memory. A CD holds approximately 700 million bytes.
Cassette Audio or video magnetic tape container having two reels. Customers can insert it for play back
Compactflash Astandardforsmall-size(3x4cm),memorycardsusedinmobilecomputers, PDAs, digital cameras. Compact flash memory cards are available in size of
32 MB up to 4 GB or more and can be played in the audio PC slot. Sizes above
1 GB have not been tested.
CD (Compact Disc) A 4.5-inch plastic disc containing digital audio recording that is played optically on a laser equipped player. Never use discs with a paper label. In a hot vehicle,
labels can curl up and jam the unit.
CD (audio disc) changer CD player that can store and play more than one CD. Two types are available. Some units accept CDs fed into the changer one at a time, and others accept a
magazine (with CDs stacked in a container).
CD player A com ponent designed to play compact disc recordings using a laser optical
pickup. The signal from a CD player usually requires amplification.
Decibels (db)
Distortion Inexact repr oduction of an audio signal caused by playing music at levels the
audio system cannot handle.
Dolby (noise reduction) A processing system developed by Dolby Laboratories that reduces the background noise on recording media. The result is a cleaner playback from the
audio system.
DUET A serial data communication line used for sub display.
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) A 4.5-inch CD-like format used for storing movies with digital audio and video features. The DVD-A format is a DVD format designed for DVD audio systems.
Some vehicles can play DVD and DVD-A formats.
Equalizer A device that changes the relative volume of individual frequency bands to suit personal tastes of the listener.
Fader The control that adjusts the relative volume levels of front and rear speakers in a four-speaker system.
Format To prepare a PC Card to receive files this function is done on a PC. Always choose either FAT or FAT32, as the NTFS format is not accepted by the system.
Pick the default sectors for the format method selected.
FM (Frequency Modulation) The form of modulation used for radio and television sound transmission in most of the world. Less prone to interference than AM. The FM broadcast band
in North America covers roughly 87.7 to 107.9 MHz.
(cont’d)
The type of transmission used in the standard radio broadcast band from 530 to 1710 kHz.
