SIRIUS Travel Link - If Equipped With Navigation

without Shaker, the audio DSP module processes the audio signals and sends them to the speakers as fluctuating AC voltage. For vehicles with Shaker, the audio DSP module processes the audio signals and sends them to the speakers and subwoofer amplifier as fluctuating AC voltage. The subwoofer amplifier processes the audio signals and sends them to the subwoofer speaker as fluctuating AC voltage.

SIRIUS Travel Link - If Equipped With Navigation

SIRIUS Travel Link is a subscription-based service, and requires a separate subscription from the satellite radio. When a SIRIUS Travel Link subscription is activated, the ESN of the satellite radio receiver built into the ACM is associated with the VIN and registered in the SIRIUS database. The SIRIUS 12-digit ESN can be obtained by tuning to channel 0, accessing “AHU Part Numbers” in Bezel Diagnostics, or by referencing the label attached to the ACM.

SIRIUS Travel Link allows the customer to receive information for:

Fuel Prices (stations, fuel type) Movie Listings (theaters, movie titles, ratings, start and run times) Ski Conditions (resorts, lodging, conditions) Sports (in-game and final scores, weekly schedules, headlines) Traffic (traffic flow, accidents, construction, road closings) Weather (current weather, forecasts, radar images)

The SIRIUS Travel Link feature requires the use of an APIM equipped with navigation.

The satellite radio antenna receives digital signals containing Travel Link data. The time intervals that the antenna receives the signals for each Travel Link category to update the data vary depending on the category. These signals are sent through the satellite radio antenna coaxial cable to the satellite radio receiver built into the ACM. The satellite receiver decrypts the data and the ACM sends it to the APIM through the SDL circuits. Certain date-dependent features (such as sports schedules and scores, movie times, and the 5-day weather forecast) require the use of GPS data for accuracy. The APIM processes the data from the ACM (together with GPS data obtained from the GPS coaxial cable for date-dependent features that require the use of GPS data for accuracy) and sends it to the FDIM to be displayed.

Speed Compensated Volume

The audio DSP module compensates for wind and road noise by adjusting the audio system volume based on the VSS signal and customer-defined setting.

When a MyKey® is in use and the MyKey® Volume Limiter is enabled, the speed compensated volume is disabled.

Steering Wheel Switch Functions

The RH steering wheel switches consist of an upper 5-way switch, and a lower 4-way switch. The upper 5-way steering wheel switch operates the volume +/-, seek +/-, and the audio mode. The lower 4-way steering wheel switch operates the voice, send/receive call, end call, and mute functions.

SYNC® AppLink™

SYNC® AppLink™ allows Applications installed on the customer’s device to be controlled using the steering wheel switches, FCIM, and/or FDIM.

All devices must be paired with the SYNC® system via Bluetooth, and Apple® devices must also be connected to a USB port.

Data is transmitted back and forth between the customer’s device and the APIM through Bluetooth, or through the USB port with Apple® devices.

For more information, refer to “AppLink” in the Owner's Literature.

SYNC® System

The SYNC® system uses Bluetooth, USB, FDIM, GPS, microphone, and CAN message APIM inputs to control the entertainment system, phone, climate control system, ambient lighting system, and navigation system (if equipped).
