16 Radio
SiriusXM Satellite Radio
Service
If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite
Radio Service provides digital radio
reception. Tall buildings or hills can
interfere with satellite radio signals,
causing the sound to fade in and
out. In addition, traveling or standing
under heavy foliage, bridges,
garages, or tunnels may cause loss
of the SiriusXM signal for a period
of time.
Cell Phone Usage
Cell phone usage, such as making
or receiving phone calls, charging,
or just having the phone on may
cause static interference in the
radio. Unplug the phone or turn it off
if this happens.
Backglass Antenna
The AM-FM antenna is integrated
with the rear window defogger in the
rear window. Do not scratch theinside surface or damage the lines
in the glass. If the inside surface is
damaged, it could interfere with
radio reception. For proper radio
reception, the antenna connector
needs to be properly attached to the
post on the glass.
If attaching a cell phone antenna to
the glass, attach it between the grid
lines.
Caution
Using a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear
window can damage the rear
window antenna and/or the rear
window defogger. Repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not clear the inside
rear window with sharp objects.
Caution
Do not apply aftermarket glass
tinting with metallic film. The
metallic film in some tinting
materials will interfere with or
distort the incoming radio
reception. Any damage caused to
the backglass antenna due to
metallic tinting materials will not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Multi-Band Antenna
The roof antenna is for SiriusXM
Satellite Radio, OnStar, GPS
(Global Positioning System), and
AM-FM (Encore only). Keep clear of
obstructions for clear reception.
If the vehicle has a sunroof, and it is
open, reception can also be
affected.

Locations, categories, or a particular
POI chain ID can be saved as
Favorites in the POIs view. Drag up from near the bottom of the
display to show the Favorites.
Touch and hold a preset, then touch
the category to be saved. Whenever
a set of POIs is grouped, such as in
a category, the whole category is
saved in the favorites for recall.
Whenever a set of POIs that belong
to the same chain ID is saved in the
favorites, a POI chain saving pop up
message displays asking to save
only that location, or to save the
entire chain. POIs are only grouped
by chain when the sorting order is
Alphabetical. Touch the Sort option
to change the sorting order.
Recalling a POI Category or Chain
If a POI category or chain favorite is
recalled, the system displays a list
of matching results defaulting to
nearby, but allows a search of other
locations. Touch Search Options to
specify a different location.
Creating and Downloading
Predefined POIs (My POIs)
In addition to the POIs already
stored in the Infotainment system,
predefined POIs can be created.While creating a predefined POI, the
GPS coordinates for longitude and
latitude of the POI’s location and a
descriptive name will need to be
entered.
After creating the predefined POIs,
they can be downloaded to the
infotainment system from a USB
drive.
Once downloaded, the POI data
becomes a selectable destination in
the My POIs menu.
Creating a Text File with
Information
Create a text file by using a simple
text editor software. Save this file
with a name and extension of .csv,
for example,
“TomsPOI.csv.”
Enter the POI information into the
text file in the following format:
. Longitude coordinate, Latitude
coordinate, “Name of POI,”
“Additional information,” “Phone
number.”

Example: 7.0350000,
50.6318040,“Michaels Home,”
“123 Maple Lane,”
“02379234567.”
. The GPS coordinates must be
expressed in decimal degrees
and can be taken from a
geographical map. The
additional information and phone
number strings are optional.
. The POI name and the
additional information string may
not exceed 60 characters.
. POI information for each
destination address must be
entered in a single separate line.
Storing the POI on a USB Device
In the root directory of a USB
device, create a folder name
“myPOIs,” for example, “F:\”is the
root directory of the USB device.
In the “myPOIs” folder, store the text
file with your POIs, for example, “F:
\myPOIs\TomsPOIs.csv.” Downloading the POI to the
Infotainment System
Connect the USB device containing
the POI information to the USB port
of the infotainment system.
A message displays prompting
whether or not to download the POI
information from the USB drive. All
POIs found are saved even if they
are in multiple folders.
Subfolders can also be created to
organize the POIs into categories,
for example,
“F:\myPOIs
\Restaurants\TomsPOIs.csv.”
If the message is dismissed or
ignored, no POI information is
downloaded. This prompt will not
reoccur for the current ignition cycle.
When the system is finished
downloading, a pop-up displays
asking to specify a category for the
new POIs, if desired.
Importing and Overwriting
Categories
When POIs are found on a media
device, the date of the file is
examined and compared to the date for the files already in the system.
If the file being downloaded is
newer than the one in the system,
that particular category of POIs is
overwritten. Any other POIs that had
previously been saved in other
categories are not affected.
Address Book Download
If an Address Book is found on the
connected USB device, the same
alert is used to indicate that
locations have been found and they
can be downloaded. If there is
already content in the vehicle
Address Book, the system prompts
if the stored content should be
overwritten. Select Save to
overwrite the existing Address Book
information. Select Cancel to abort
the import of information.
Browsing Downloaded POIs
Access the downloaded POIs by
selecting the My POIs list item in the
POIs list.

An OnStar Advisor can cancel the
vehicle navigation system route.
Route guidance can be resumed by
selecting Resume To in the
Map Menu.
Global Positioning
System (GPS)
The position of the vehicle is
determined by using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, and
map data.
At times, other interference such as
the satellite condition, road
configuration, condition of the
vehicle, and/or other circumstances
can affect the navigation system's
ability to determine the accurate
position of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position
of the vehicle using signals sent by
GPS Satellites. When the vehicle is
not receiving signals from the
satellites, a symbol appears on the
map screen. SeeNavigation
Symbols 031. This system might not be available
or interference can occur if any of
the following are true:
.
Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks,
or a tunnel.
. Satellites are being repaired or
improved.
For more information if the GPS is
not functioning properly, see
Problems with Route Guidance 048
and If the System Needs Service
0 48.
Vehicle Positioning

on the map could be inaccurate due
to one or more of the following
reasons:
.
The road system has changed.
. The vehicle is driving on slippery
road surfaces such as sand,
gravel, or snow.
. The vehicle is traveling on
winding roads or long straight
roads. .
The vehicle is approaching a tall
building or a large vehicle.
. The surface streets run parallel
to a freeway.
. The vehicle has been transferred
by a vehicle carrier or a ferry.
. The current position calibration
is set incorrectly.
. The vehicle is traveling at high
speed.
. The vehicle changes directions
more than once, or the vehicle is
turning on a turn table in a
parking lot.
. The vehicle is entering and/or
exiting a parking lot, garage, or a
lot with a roof.
. The GPS signal is not received.
. A roof carrier is installed on the
vehicle.
. Tire chains have been installed.
. The tires are replaced or worn.
. The tire pressure for the tires is
incorrect.
