Satellite Audio
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Milan, 2009 Lincoln MKZ, and 2009 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The satellite audio system consists of a satellite digital audio receiver system (SDARS) module, a satellite radio antenna, and a satellite radio antenna cable. The satellite radio antenna receives digital audio signals and sends them to the SDARS module, where the signals are converted and sent to the ACM or the accessory protocol interface module (APIM) (if equipped). The SDARS module communicates via the MS-CAN.
