Speed dependent volume control
(SDVC)
When SDVC is activated 3 139, the
volume is adapted automatically to
make up for the road and wind noise
when driving.
External source
An external source, e.g. a mobile
phone or a navigation system, can be
connected to the Infotainment
system.The external source is automatically
transferred through via a control
signal from the device connected,
even when the Infotainment system is
off. In this case External In is
displayed.
We recommend having appliances
installed by a Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.
AUX input
An external audio source, e.g. a
portable CD player, can be connected via the AUX input of your vehicle.
Stereo sound from this source is
played back via the loudspeakers of
the Infotainment system.
The connector is located in the area
of the centre console.
Always ensure that the AUX input
remains clean and dry.
For the best possible audio quality,
the external audio source should be
set to maximum volume. On units with
line-out, the output signal is available
at a fixed audio level and cannot be
changed.
Introduction137
To avoid overriding the AUX input, theeffective output voltage of the
external audio source must be lower
than 1.5 V.

Digital audio broadcasting Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcast system.DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.General information ■ With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can be
broadcast on a single frequency (ensemble).
■ As long as a given DAB receiver can pick up the signal sent out by a
broadcasting station (even if the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
■ There is no fading (weakening of the sound) that is typical of AM or
FM reception. The DAB signal is
reproduced at a constant volume.
■ If the DAB signal is too weak to be picked up by the receiver, receptionis interrupted completely. This can
be avoided by activating DAB AF
and/or DAB FM in the audio
settings menu.
■ Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AM
and FM reception) does not occur
with DAB.
