Functional Overview
NG Radios
Radio Operation with KL R off
Operation is possible with the key off on the C53 and CD 53 radios. If the radio is turned
on with KL R off, it will play at the last stored volume and settings for 16 minutes until the
General Module sends the sleep command. No changes may be made to the radio unless
KL R is switched back on. The radio can be turned on and off as many times desired.
Diversity Antenna
Antenna diversity has been adapted to the new generation of radios. When the radio is in
operation, the diversity control unit is activated by the “RAD ON” signal.
World Frequency Radio
Radios on vehicles sold in the U.S. are world radios. Specific country settings can be made
using the service mode. The settings are stored in an EEPROM.
Car Memory
If programmed, when locking the vehicle using the remote transmitter the:
 last station
 Volume setting
 Last audio mode (Tape, FM, CD etc.)

lower than the setting when the radio was last operated.

Time can also be displayed when KL R is off by pressing the clock button on the
Radio/MID.
