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.

Selecting Your Mobile Digital Media as the
Active Source
Your radio and rear seat entertainment system
communicate with the GM Mobile Digital
Media system, as one compact unit that can be
accessed by everyone seated inside the vehicle.
The GM Mobile Digital Media system can hold
thousands of songs, hours of videos, and
hundreds of games.
To help use this system, see the following “Quick
Start” information:
Front seat driver and passenger, use the radio
and steering wheel controls to access the
music collection with PhatNoise Voice Index™
technology. The preset buttons can be used
to select the browsing category. The Next,
Previous, and Seek buttons can be used to
browse within a browsing category. Browse the
music collection by artist, album, genre, or
custom playlist as the system uses the voice
mode to announce these selections. See
“Using the GM Mobile Digital Media System
for Front Seat Audio Entertainment” later
in this manual.
Rear seat passengers, use the wireless DVD
remote control to navigate the menu displayed
on the overhead DVD video screen, then select
to play music, videos, or games. A dedicated
game controller is included with the Mobile
Digital Media package. See “Using the GM
Mobile Digital Media System for Rear Seat
Entertainment” later in this manual.
Your vehicle may have audio steering wheel
controls. Some audio controls can be adjusted at
the steering wheel. SeeAudio Steering Wheel
Controls on page 367in your owner manual.
If your vehicle has the OnStar
®/Mute audio
steering wheel control, read the following
instructions.

The GM Mobile Digital Media is controlled through
the radio and steering wheel controls on your
vehicle’s audio system. This system functions
differently than a typical CD changer. The Digital
Media system allows you to switch between
different playback modes. These modes determine
the next song that will play. Using modes, you
can browse through playlists, artists, albums, and
genres while the system reads Voice Index™
names to you while you drive. By selecting Playlist
Mode, you can access the music collection in
the order placed onto the DMS cartridge, or you
can have the system sort the music by Album,
Artist, or Genre by selecting the corresponding
Modes.
Starting the System for Front Seat
Entertainment
The GM Mobile Digital Media system is available
through the DMS mode of your radio. This
system will power on and off automatically and
resume where the system last stopped.To begin playback, follow the instructions listed
below:

Digital Media player.
2. Turn on your radio and switch to the DMS

game controller needs to be re-synchronized with
your vehicle, open the battery compartment
and remove a battery. As soon as the battery is
replaced, the game controller will synchronize with
the vehicle during the next ignition cycle.
Wireless Game Controller Play Mode

Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft of
your vehicle’s radio. The feature works
automatically by learning a portion of the Vehicle
Identication Number (VIN). If the radio is
moved to a different vehicle, it will not operate and
LOCKED will appear on the display.
With THEFTLOCK
®activated, the radio will not
operate if stolen.
Audio Steering Wheel Controls
If your vehicle has this feature, some audio
controls can be adjusted at the steering wheel.
They include the following:
wtux(Seek):Press the up or the down
arrow to go to the next or previous station and stay
there.
To scan stations, press and hold either arrow for
two seconds until FREQUENCY SCAN appears
on the display. The radio will go to a station, play
for a few seconds, then go to the next station.
Press either arrow again to stop scanning.
The sound will mute while seeking or scanning.
367

The radio will only seek or scan stations with a
strong signal that are in the selected band.
When a CD is playing, press either arrow to
go to the previous or next track, if more than
eight seconds have played. If either arrow is held or
pressed more than once, the player will continue
moving backward or forward through the CD.
BAND:Press this button to switch between FM1,
FM2, AM, or XM1 or XM2 (if equipped).
1-6:Press this button to scan the stations that
are programmed on the radio preset pushbuttons.
The radio will go to the next preset station
stored on the pushbuttons, play for a few seconds,
then go on to the next preset station. Press this
button again to stop scanning. The radio will
only scan preset stations with a strong signal that
are in the selected band.
$(Mute):Press this button to silence the system.
Press this button again, to turn the sound on.
r(Play):When listening to the radio, press this
button to play a CD.
wux(Volume):Press the up or down arrow
to increase or decrease the volume.
Radio Reception
You may experience frequency interference and
static during normal radio reception if items
such as cellphone chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic devices
are plugged into the accessory power outlet. If
there is interference or static, unplug the item from
the accessory power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for
FM, especially at night. The longer range can
cause station frequencies to interfere with each
other. For better radio reception, most AM
radio stations will boost the power levels during
the day, and then reduce these levels during
the night. Static can also occur when things like
storms and power lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try reducing the
treble on your radio.
368

FM Stereo
FM stereo will give the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM
signals, causing the sound to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM™ Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio
reception from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM,
tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite
radio signals, causing the sound to fade in and out.
In addition, traveling or standing under heavy
foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause
loss of the XM™ signal for a period of time.
The radio may display NO SIGNAL to indicate
interference.
Care of Your CDs and DVDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original
cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the
bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a
CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD will not play properly or not
at all. If the surface of a CD 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.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while
handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up
CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge.
Care of the CD and DVD Player
The use of CD lens cleaners for CDs is not
advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens
of the CD optics with lubricants internal to the
CD mechanism.
