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
This type of cradle is
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.
