This screen is for factory use only. It allows adjustment
of the GPS time. This display updates in real time.
GPS Time is the time as received from the GPS satellites. It is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Date, Hour, Minute, and Set should not be used.
This screen allows the navigation system to drive a
route, when the vehicle is stationary. Typical
applications include auto shows, and other events.
This feature allows a visitor to enter a destination, and
see the system drive to the destination. No speed signal
is needed. To initiate the mode, select ON.
Changing the speed rate in ms (millisec onds) is
optional, and represents the time between updates of
the VP (vehicle position) movement.
– When you increase the rate, the VP slows down because it is updated (moved) at a slower rate.
– When you decrease the rate, VP is faster because it is updated (moved) more frequently.
– 1500 ms is VP at its slowest in demo mode.
– 150 ms is VP at its fastest in demo mode (Default).
At key off, the setting automatically returns to the default of Off. This diagnostic screen allows you to independently test
the microphone and the navigation TALK and BACK
buttons. They are used to activate the voice control
system. The microphone is located near the map light
in the ceiling. It is directional, and works best if the
voice is coming from the drivers seat.
Press the navigation TALK button on the steering wheel, wait unit you hear a beep, and in a normal
voice say ‘‘testing’’. The TALK indicator on the screen
should momentarily turn green, and the text ‘‘Now
Recording...’’ should appear in yellow. If the talk
indicator on the screen does not briefly turn green,
then check the wiring from the navigation TALK
button to the navigation unit.
If there is no Mic Level movement when you speak, then you should check the wire running from the
microphone to the navigation unit.
If the mic level bar is full or almost full wit hout you
speaking or other back ground noise, replace the
microphone and recheck.
PressthenavigationBACKbuttononthesteering wheel. The Cancel indicator on the screen should
momentarily turn green. If it does not briefly turn
green, then check the wiring from the steering wheel
navigation BACK button to the navigation unit.
NOTE: The mic level should reach the 6th bar.

The Angle is the angle that the sun (shown with the red dot) is above the horizon.
The vehicle value represents the angle, clockwise from North, to the direction that the vehicle position
(VP) icon is pointing (always points straight up).
The direction value is the angle, measured clockwise from the VP (straight up) to the suns position.
The reliability ranges from 1 to 3, and represents the accuracy of the Vehicle Position relative to the sun. This screen displays the current version of the program,

The Model code is SNR and is for factory use only. This
code is stored on a chip in the navigation unit.
Therefore, every model has a unique part number for
the navigation unit.
NOTE: If any model number other than SNR is
displayed, replace the navigation unit with the correct
part. The model code tells the navigation unit what
software to load off the DVD.
Do not use Download, unless instructed to do so by the
factory.

Overview
Speed-sensitive volume compensation (SVC)
23-164Audio System
System Description
The audio unit acts as the processor for all audio functions. Select audio functions from the audio unit, the audio
remote (on the steering wheel), or by using the navigation voice control system. The audio display provides the
current audio status. For vehicles with navigation, additional audio information is available by touching the audio
button on the navigation audio screen (See the owner’s manual and the navigation system manual for more details.).
The XM receiver passes its signal to the audio unit. In addition, it communicates with the audio unit via the GA-Net bus.
Any open connections in the GA-Net bus circuit causes audio and navigation functions to appear inoperative.
For vehicles with navigation, pressing the open/close switch on the navigation display panel allows access to the CD
slot and PC card.
A security signal is daisy-chained between the audio and vehicle components for integration into the vehicle’s security
system.
Some audio systems are equipped with speed-sensitive volume compensation (SVC). The navigation or audio unit
receives the vehicle speed pulse (VSP) from the ECM/PCM. The system processes the speed input and increases the
navigation or audio system volume level as the vehicle speed increases to compensate for the various interior noises
that occur at higher speeds. When the vehicle slows down, the volume returns to its normal level. The SVC has four
settings: SVC OFF, LOW, MID and HIGH that can be adjusted using the navigation or audio unit. The SVC comes from
the factory with the MID setting as the default.
To change the audio unit SVC setting, press the tune folder sound knob repeatedly until the SVC is displayed, rotate
the knob to adjust the SVC to the desired setting (SVC OFF, LOW, MID, or HIGH).
To change the navigation unit SVC setting, press the AUDIO button, and then select the SOUND icon on the navigation
display. Press the navigation display to select the desired setting (OFF, LOW, MID, HI).
