Automatic Volume Control
Bose
®equipped vehicles include
Bose AudioPilot®noise
compensation technology. When turned on, AudioPilot
continuously adjusts the audio
system equalization, to compensate
for background noise, so that the
music always sounds the same at
the set volume level.
This feature is most effective at
lower volume settings where
background noise can affect how
well the music is heard while being
played through the vehicle's audio
system. At higher volume settings,
where the music is much louder
than the background noise, there
may be little or no adjustments by
AudioPilot. For additional
information on AudioPilot, visit
www.bose.com/audiopilot.
To use AudioPilot:
1. Press CONFIG to enter the
menu screen, then press
CONFIG repeatedly until Radio
is selected or press the Radio
screen button
2. Press the Automatic Volume Control screen button to access
the AudioPilot menu.

Timeshift records all information
from AM, FM, XM™(if equipped),

that was missed. Once starting to
listen to one of the bands, timeshift
automatically starts. Once timeshift
has recorded for an hour, it will keep
recording and start removing the
information from the beginning.
Press

the information through the
speakers. During this pause time,
timeshift keeps recording. Press

you left off. During pause, a
progress bar displays, to show how
much time the system has been
buffering. Press
kbefore turning the vehicle
off so that Timeshift keeps recording
for up to one hour. If the vehicle is
still off after an hour of recording,
the vehicle stops recording and all
information is lost.
If stations are switched, during this
hour period, timeshift erases all
information that was recorded and
starts recording from the current
band. If you switch to listening to
any other source, timeshift will not
record.
Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS features are
available for use only on FM
stations that broadcast RDS
information. With RDS, the
radio can:
.Seek to stations broadcasting
the selected type of
programming
.Receive announcements
concerning local and national
emergencies
.Display messages from radio
stations
This system relies on receiving
specific information from these
stations and only works when the
information is available. In rare
cases, a radio station may
broadcast incorrect information that
causes the radio features to work
improperly. If this happens, contact
the radio station.
The RDS system is always on.
When information is broadcast from
the current FM station, the station
name or call letters display on the
audio screen. RDS may provide a
program type (PTY) for current
programming and the name of the
program being broadcasted.

Root Directory
The root directory is treated as a
folder. If the root directory has
compressed audio files, the
directory displays as DISC. All files
contained directly under the root
directory are accessed prior to any root directory folders. However,
playlists can always be accessed
before root folders or files.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the file structure that
contains only folders/subfolders and
no compressed files directly
beneath them, the player advances
to the next folder in the file structure
that contains compressed audio
files and the empty folder will not be
displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files are
located under the root folder. The
next and previous folder functions
have no function on a CD that was
recorded without folders or playlists.
When displaying the name of the
folder the radio displays Disc.
When the CD contains only playlists
and compressed audio files, but no
folders, all files are located under
the root folder. The left and right
