Radio Data System (RDS)

The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS) feature. RDS is available for use only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information. This system relies upon receiving specific information from these stations and only works when the information is available. While the radio is tuned to an FM-RDS station, the station name or call letters display. In rare cases, a radio station can broadcast incorrect information that causes the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio station.

Playing the Radio

VOL (Volume/Power): The power knob is part of the VOL knob and is located above the radio, at the left side of the clock. Press to turn the system on and off. Turn the VOL knob clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the volume.

Speed Compensated Volume (SCV): A Radio with SCV automatically adjusts the sound to compensate for road and wind noise as the vehicle speeds up or slows down, so that the volume is consistent while driving. That way, the volume level should sound about the same while driving. To activate SCV:

1. Set the radio volume to the desired level.
2. Press the CONFIG button to display the radio setup menu.
3. Press the pushbutton under the AUTO VOL (automatic volume) label on the radio display.
4. Press the pushbutton under the desired Speed Compensated Volume setting (OFF, Low, Med, or High) to select the level of radio volume compensation. The display times out after approximately 10 seconds. Each higher setting allows for more radio volume compensation at faster vehicle speeds.

Noise Compensation Technology: If the vehicle has the Radio with DVD Audio, HDD, and USB, it includes Bose AudioPilot® noise compensation technology. When turned on, AudioPilot® continuously adjusts the audio system equalization, to compensate for background noise. This feature is most effective at lower radio volume settings where background noise can affect how well you hear the music being played through the vehicle's audio system. At higher volume settings, where the music is much louder than the background noise, there might be little or no adjustments by AudioPilot®. For additional information on AudioPilot®, visit bose.com/audiopilot. To activate AudioPilot®:

1. Press the CONFIG button to display the radio setup menu.
2. Press the pushbutton under the AUTO VOL label on the radio display.
3. Press either the On or Off label located under the AUTO VOL display to turn this feature on or off. The display times out after approximately 10 seconds.

Care of Your CD and DVD-A Discs

If playing a CD or DVD-A disc, the sound quality can be reduced due to disc quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the disc has been handled. Handle them carefully. Store disc(s) in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. The CD/DVD-A player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a disc is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the disc may not play properly or not at all. Do not touch the bottom side of a disc while handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.

If the surface of a disc is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process starts from the center to the edge.

Care of Your CD or DVD-A Player

Do not add any label to a disc, it could get caught in the CD/DVD-A player. If a disc is recorded on a personal computer and a description label is needed, label the top of the recorded disc with a marking pen.

The use of disc lens cleaners for discs is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the disc optics with lubricants internal to the CD/DVD-A player mechanism.

Notice: If a label is added to a CD, or more than one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs, the CD player could be damaged. While using the CD player, use only CDs in good condition without any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player and the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids, and debris.

If an error displays, see "Disc Messages" later in this section.

Playing an MP3/WMA Disc

Radios with the MP3 feature are capable of playing an MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW disc. Radios with the DVD Audio feature, are capable of playing MP3/WMA on DVD+/-R discs. For more information, see Using an MP3later in this section.

Disc Messages

DISC ERROR: If this message displays and/or the disc ejects, it could be for one of the following reasons:

If the disc is not playing correctly, for any other reason, try a known good disc.

If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be corrected, contact your dealer/retailer. If the radio displays an error message, write it down and provide it to your dealer/retailer when reporting the problem.

Hard Drive Device (HDD)

Radios with a hard drive device are able to record songs from Audio CDs, MP3/WMA discs, and USB mass storage devices. This type of radio has a 40 GB (gigabyte) HDD. A portion of the HDD is used for the storage of radio system files. The remainder of the HDD capacity is available for the storage of media files.

Music or content that is stored on the hard drive device that you did not create, or have the right to distribute, must be deleted before the sale or end of the lease of the vehicle.

Recording From Audio CDs

REC (Record): While listening to an audio CD, press to start recording songs from the disc. The radio has the option to record the current song playing or all songs from the CD. Press the pushbutton located under the desired record option.

A status bar appears on the top of the display when the recording process starts. The status bar disappears when the process has ended. The recorded songs are now available.

If the CD is ejected or the vehicle is turned off before the recording process has completed, tracks that have been completely recorded are stored to the HDD. Incomplete tracks are discarded.

Re-recording Audio CDs

If a CD has already been recorded, the radio system will not record the contents again. If a partially recorded CD is selected for recording, only those songs which are not already on the HDD will be recorded.

Audio CD Song, Artist, Album and Genre Information

Radios with HDD, contain a Gracenote® Database that the radio uses to determine the song, artist, album and genre information. The Gracenote® Database allows the radio to record an audio CD to the HDD and store the content using song, artist, album and genre information.

Newly released audio CDs as well as some less common audio CDs may not be found in the Gracenote® Database stored on the HDD. If these audio CDs contain CD-text, the radio will use the CD-text information when recording the content to the HDD. If an audio CD is not found in the Gracenote® Database and it does not have CD-text information, the radio will record the audio CD with all song, artist, album and genre names as "NO INFO".

Songs recorded with "NO INFO" to the HDD will be hard to sort, identify, and select. For better HDD navigation, CDs with "NO INFO" can first be converted to MP3 format with Tag information on a home computer and then recorded to the HDD from an MP3 disc or USB device.

Occasionally, the radio may find more than one match in Gracenote® Database for an audio CD that has been recorded. If this happens, the radio will display "MultiHit" for the name information when the songs are selected from the HDD. With a "MuliHit" song playing, press the button below the EDIT label to bring up the list of multiple names found in the Gracenote® Database. Use the Menu/Select knob to highlight and select the correct name for the "MultiHit" recorded CD.

The Gracenote® Database stored on the HDD can be updated so that it includes name information for more recently released audio CDs. See your dealer/retailer for more information on Gracenote® Database updates for the HDD radio.

On AM/FM, press the REV or FWD button multiple times to rewind or fast forward. Each press will rewind or fast forward 30 seconds of content. On XM, press the REV or FWD button multiple time to jump to the previous or next song or commercial.

When the radio station is changed, the buffer is cleared and automatically restarted for the current station. You cannot rewind to content from a previously tuned station.

Time shifting of AM/FM or XM is not available while recording or while other sources of playback are selected.

Pausing AM/FM or XM™ (if equipped) with the Vehicle Turned Off

If AM/FM or XM is paused when the vehicle is turned off, the radio will continue to buffer the current radio station for up to one hour. If the vehicle is turned back on within one hour, the radio will automatically resume playback from the pause point.

Using the Auxiliary Input Jack

The radio system has an auxiliary input jack. It is in the center console bin. This is not an audio output; do not plug the headphone set into the front auxiliary input jack. An external audio device such as an iPod, laptop computer, MP3 player, etc. can be connected to the auxiliary input jack for use as another source for audio listening.

Set up any auxiliary device while the vehicle is stopped. See Defensive Driving for more information on driver distraction.

To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) cable to the radio's front auxiliary input jack. The radio automatically detects the device and "Aux Input Device" displays. The device begins playing over the vehicle speakers. If an auxiliary device has already been connected, press the radio's AUX or CD/AUX button.

VOL/ (Volume/Power): Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the volume of the portable player. Use the portable device to make additional volume adjustments.

FM/AM: Press to listen to the radio when a portable audio device is playing. The portable audio device continues playing, until it is stopped.

CD or CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary): Press to play a CD when a portable audio device is playing. Press again to start playing audio from the connected portable audio player. If a portable audio player is not connected, "No Aux Device" displays.

Using the Radio Controls to Connect and Control an iPod

An iPod can be controlled by using the radio buttons and knobs; the song information shows on the radio’s display. To connect and control the iPod using the radio controls, the vehicle must have a USB port. If it does, it is located in the center console bin. You will also need the special iPod connection cable that came as standard equipment with the vehicle as part of the USB option. The special iPod connection cable can also be purchased or made available, from your dealer/retailer. See your dealer/retailer for more information.

This feature supports the following iPod models*:

* For proper operation, make sure the iPod has the latest firmware from Apple®. The iPod firmware can be updated using the latest iTunes application. See apple.com/itunes.

To connect and control the iPod, connect one end of the special iPod connection cable to the iPod’s dock connector. Connect the other end to both the USB port and the auxiliary input jack. The USB port and the auxiliary input jack are located in the center console bin. If the vehicle is on and the USB connection works, a GM logo may appear on the iPod. The iPod's music information will be shown on the radio’s display and the music begins playing through the vehicles audio system.

A standard iPod USB cable, like the one that came with the iPod, cannot be used to connect an iPod to the vehicle. You must use the special iPod connection cable that came equipped with the vehicle or that was made available from your dealer/retailer in order for this feature to work.

Use the radio Menu/Select knob to bring up the iPod Menu and select Songs, Artists, Albums, Playlists and Audio books to play from the iPod.

The iPod's battery charges while it is connected to the vehicle and if the ignition is turned to ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN. It can also be left connected to the vehicle after the vehicle is turned off. With the vehicle turned off, the iPod will automatically be powered off and will not charge or draw power from the vehicle's battery.

If you have an older iPod model that is not supported or do not have the special iPod connection cable, you can still listen to the iPod in the vehicle by connecting it to the Auxiliary Input Jack using a standard 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) stereo cable. Command and control of the iPod via the radio buttons and knobs will not be supported when only using the Auxiliary Input Jack. See "Using the Auxiliary Input Jack" earlier for more information.

Press the AM/FM, XM or HDD buttons to listen to one of these sources while an iPod is connected. If a disc is inserted, press the CD/AUX button to listen to a CD or DVD-A disc. Press the CD/AUX button again to start playing and controlling the connected iPod.

To properly dismount the iPod USB device before disconnecting from the vehicle, press the button directly under the EJECT label found on the iPod playback screen.
