Audio GlossaryItem Definition
23-10Audio System
System Description (cont’d)
Track
A sound recording on a CD, tape, or PC Card.
Treble An adjustment to control the volume of the high frequency sounds.
Tuner A component (or part of a component) that receives radio signals and selects
one broadcast from many.
Tweeter A speaker designed to reproduce the higher frequencies (treble) only.
USB Universal Serial Bus. The USB is used for playing the compressed audio files
(MP3, WMA, and AAC) on an external device through the audio unit.
Voice coil A coil of wire wrapped around a tube and then attached to the speaker cone or
diaphragm. When an audio signal is applied, the coil becomes an
electromagnet and interacts with the permanent magnet causing the come or
diaphragm to vibrate. We interpret this vibrations as sound.
Volume control Allows you to control the loudness of the music.
WMA music file Windows Media Audio File. This is an accepted format for music files to be
played on either a CD-R, a CD-RW or a PC Card.
Woofer A speaker that is designed to reproduce low (bass) frequencies only.
XM radio Satellite based radio transmission, which also uses a ground based repeater
network to ensure seamless reception. The channels originate from XM’s
broadcast center, in Washington, DC, and uplink to two satellites. These
satellites transmit the signal across the entire continental United States.
XM receiver The external component that receives and processes the XM signals from the
XM satellites, and terrestrial (land) stations. The audio unit communicates to
the XM receiver over the GA-Net bus.

23-110Navigation System
System Description (cont’d)
LCD
Liquid Crystal Display (the navigation screen)
Map matching The received GPS information allows the navigation system to position the vehicle on the map. Map matching
has occurred if the map screen displays the current street name in the bottom-shaded area.
Mic Abbreviation for the microphone used for receiving voice commands. It is located near the map light in the
ceiling. The ANC circuit may also use it to check its tuning.
MID Multi-Information Display
MW Maneuver Window. While on-route to a destination, this window displays information about the next maneuver.
Navi Abbreviation for the Navigation System.
Off-road tracking See bread-crumbs.
Off route Off route This occurs when the user leaves mapped roads. Off road tracking dots (bread-crumbs) are displayed if
the option is enabled in the setup menu. The user can use them to return to a mapped road. The bottom of the
navigation screen displays Not on a digitized road.
Outlying areas These are rural areas that typically have only their main roads mapped. All other roads are shown in light brown
for reference only, since they have not been verified.
Paired Linking your cell phone to the HFL.
PC Card slot PC Card Slot The PC Card (PCMCIA, type II) slot is for factory use only. Make sure that the sliding door is closed at
all times, if opened, an error message is displayed on the screen.
PCM Powertrain Control Module. This unit supplies the navigation system speed signal, also refered to as PCM.
PCMCIA A computer industry defined term referring to the PC Card slot standard.
PIN Personal Identification Number, a random 4 digit number created by the customer to protect personal
information.
POI Point Of Interest. These are the businesses, schools, etc. found under the places option on the main menu.
Polygon Colored areas on the map screen denoting parks, schools, etc. See the Navigation System Manual Driving to
Your Destination for a list of the assigned colors.
QWERTY Keyboard layout resembling the typewriter keys. The keyboard layout can be changed to an alphabetical layout
in the Setup mode.
SCS connector The service check signal 2-pin connector used to put the navigation system into the diagnostic mode.
Security code Code needed to activate the navigation system. You can get the security code from the iN by entering the
navigation unit serial number. You can find the serial number on the diagnostic screens (unit check, Navi ECU),
or on the underside of the navigation unit.
Tuning A continual update of internal navigation system scaling factors. See the individual sensor tuning discussions
under either System Description, or System Diagnosis Mode (see page 23-135).
Unverified Streets These streets have not been verified for turn restrictions, one-way, etc. They appear light brown on the map. You can enter address destinations in these areas, but depending on your Unverified Routing choice in setup, voice
guidance may end at the last verified street closest to your destination.
USB Universal Serial Bus. the USB is used for playing the compressed audio files (MP3, WMA, and AAC) on the
external device through the audio unit.
Verified streets These streets consist of the detailed metropolitan coverage areas, and all other inter-town connection roads.
These roads are shown in black or red on the map. (interstates are red)
VP Vehicle Position. When in map mode, this circular icon shows the vehicle position on the map.
VR Voice Recognition. This allows voice control of many of the navigation functions. The hardware consists of the
microphone, voice control switch (navigation TALK/BACK buttons), and the center speaker. See the overview for
more information.
VSP Vehicle Speed Pulse. This pulse signal coming from the PCM (via the CSS) is used to update the Vehicle position
on the map. These pulses do not indicate direction (forward or backward). When in reverse, the navigation
receives a signal and directs the VP to move backwards on the map.
XM This device receives information from the XM satellites and passes XM audio information to the audio unit. In
addition, traffic information is sent to the navigation unit.
Yaw Sensor This device is located in the navigation system control unit and senses the side-to-side twisting force generated
when the vehicle turns. See a detailed description of how this sensor works in system description.

PC Card FAQs
QuestionAnswer
23-151
Wheredowebuytheflashmemoryor
adaptors, and what do we ask for?You need a PCMCIA type II adaptor and a flash memory chip. You can
purchase them at a computer, or office supply store. The card is the
same size and shape as the PC card in the HDS. Adaptors that accept
multiple flash types are not recommended.
What memory flash chips will work
with what adaptors? The flash memory devices that have been tested include Compact Flash
(CF), and ATA style (like the card in the HDS). Other card types and flash
memory chips may work, but have not been tested.
What capacity card do I need for this
function? A memory chip with capacity of 64 MB to 2 GB will work. The two files
moved to the PC card during export are less than a Megabyte in size.
Should the dealer have a dedicated PC
card for the Export and Import
navigation function? Yes, treat the PC card as a dedicated special tool that you can use any
time you need to transfer the navigation personal files to a new
navigation unit on ’07 and later vehicles.
What device can I use to maintain the
PC card, and delete files? Any computer store sells USB style card readers that accept the PC card,
and allow you to do file maintenance on your PC card. Most laptops also
accept the PC card.
Can we move the client’s data to
different models? No, the files are model specific and will only load into a navigation unit
with the same part number.
Can we move the client’s data to the
same vehicle with a different software
version (like moving from version 4.41
to version 4.51)? The client’s files can only be transferred to a new navigation unit if the
Model and the Program Flash shown on the Version screen are the same.
Files cannot be transferred to the different model and different versions.
Will other files on the PC card like
images or music files prevent the
Export/Import function from working? No, the system simply adds two small files that are recognized by the
new navigation unit when performing the import function. However, it
the PC card is full, the Export function won’t work correctly.
Do I have to delete the files on the PC
card after each transfer of the
personal data? After the transfer of personal data to the new navigation unit, the files
remain on the PC card. Since this is confidential information, Acura
recommends deleting these files after the transfer. Please note that each
time you export navigation files of the same model and version, the files
are overwritten. Over time the PC card accumulates two files for each
version of the 8 or so Acura navigation models.
If the memory card needs formatting,
what format should I use? It is unlikely that the PC card will ever need formatting, however, if it
does, use the FAT (file allocation table) file system.
I can’t enter the navigation diagnostic
mode to do the Export/Import function.
How can I transfer the personal data? Some internal navigation unit ECU failures may make it impossible to
use the Export/Import function.
