Mobile Digital Media System
Your vehicle may have the GM Mobile Digital
Media system which is made up of a digital media
player, a wireless game controller, the digital
media storage (DMS) cartridge, the USB 2.0 cradle
(docking station), and the PhatNoise™ Media
Manager software.
See the following information to learn more about
the components that make up the complete
Digital Media system.
Digital Media Player
The digital media
player is contained
in an overhead console.
It is attached to the
vehicle’s overhead rail
system, located
behind the second row
domelamp.
The overhead console has an opening that opens
downward and is used to insert or remove the
DMS cartridge. Pull the panel down to insert the
removable cartridge. Close this panel to completely
hide the cartridge inside the console.
With the DMS cartridge inserted, the digital media
player is capable of playing back all of the
content that has been stored on the cartridge.
Audio content is accessible through the radio
and steering wheel controls. Audio, videos, and
games are accessible through the rear seat video
screen.

USB 2.0 Cradle

the docking station for
the DMS cartridge.
The USB 2.0 cradle is the docking station that
connects the DMS cartridge to the home computer
allowing new content to be added to the DMS
cartridge. When the cradle is connected to
the home computer, you can read from and write
to the DMS cartridge. The system is compatible
with home computers that support USB
communication (Microsoft
®Windows 98 SR2
and higher).
The USB 2.0 cradle is also backward compatible
for computers equipped with USB 1.1.
PhatNoise™ Media Manager
The PhatNoise™ Media Manager (PMM) supports
the in-vehicle GM Mobile Digital Media system.
The PMM can be used to save audio CDs to the
DMS cartridge as well as organize and transfer
existing tracks on your PC, load video les
onto your DMS cartridge, purchase the preloaded
videos and games, and much more.
