Audio/Video/Entertainment/Connectivity (Service Information): Description

Several combinations of radio receivers and speaker configurations are offered. The audio system operates on a non-switched fused B(+) battery current source and is turned ON or OFF by electronic messages received over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus so that the system will only operate when the status of the ignition switch is RUN or Accessory.

Navigation is standard in the Uconnect® 5 NAV R1 radio for this vehicle. Refer to NAVIGATION .

All radios have an internal Hands Free Module (HFM). There is no external HFM because all hands free functions are integrated into the Radio.

The audio system includes the following components:

• Combination Antenna  - The combination antenna is used for AM/FM, Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation, Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) signal and Long Term Evolution 1 (LTE1) cellular data reception. The shark fin style, multifunction antenna is located at the center rear of the roof panel. Refer to ANTENNA, SATELLITE, DESCRIPTION .
• Bluetooth®/WiFi Antenna  - A Bluetooth® antenna is used on vehicles equipped with the 10.1-inch Display Screen Module (DSM). It is located behind the instrument panel cover on the right side, above the glove box. Refer to ANTENNA, BLUETOOTH/WIFI, DESCRIPTION .
• Audio Amplifier  - An audio amplifier is available with the premium audio systems only. The amplifier is located behind the left rear quarter panel, secured to a bracket bolted to the floor panel and D-pillar lower reinforcement. Refer to AMPLIFIER, DESCRIPTION .
• Radio Noise Suppression Components  - Devices designed to suppress Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) radio noise are used in this vehicle. Refer to COMPONENTS, RADIO NOISE SUPPRESSION, DESCRIPTION .
• Radio  - Two radios are available for this vehicle. They are identified by their sales code. The 8.4 inch radio has the screen integral, or associated, with the radio and the 10.1 inch radio has a disassociated display screen, or DSM. For radio information, Refer to RADIO, DESCRIPTION . For DSM information, Refer to MODULE, DISPLAY SCREEN (DSM), DESCRIPTION .
• Remote Radio Switches  - Remote radio switches are located on the instrument panel side of the steering wheel spokes. Refer to SWITCH, REMOTE RADIO, OPERATION .
• Speakers  - Several optional speaker packages are offered in this vehicle. Refer to SPEAKER, DESCRIPTION .
• Media Hub  - A media hub, including two type-A and two type-C Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports and an auxiliary cable input jack, is located within the front storage bin of the center floor console, and is standard equipment. Refer to MEDIA HUB, DESCRIPTION .

Certain functions and features of the audio system rely upon resources shared with other electronic modules in the vehicle over the CAN data bus network. The radio contains a microcontroller and programming that allows it to communicate with other electronic modules in the vehicle over the CAN-IHS data bus. The radio can also receive electronic message inputs over the CAN-C data bus; however, the radio is not a CAN gateway. All of the radio electronic message outputs are through the CAN-IHS data bus. Refer to COMMUNICATION, DESCRIPTION .

Many of the audio system components cannot be adjusted or repaired. If they become damaged or ineffective, that component must be replaced. Those that can be repaired must be serviced by an authorized electronic warranty repair station. Refer to the appropriate warranty policies and procedures information.
