Playing the Radio

(Power): Press to turn the radio on and off. Press and hold for more than two seconds to turn off the radio, RSE (Rear Seat Entertainment) video screen, and RSA (Rear Seat Audio).

(Volume): Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or to decrease the volume.

SRCE (Source): Press to select a source, either radio, CD, DVD, or auxiliary, if your vehicle has this feature. The CD or DVD must be loaded to select the source and to play. CD or DVD displays if a disc is loaded. If a CD or DVD is not loaded, the display changes to the auxiliary source, if your vehicle has this feature, or continue to play the radio.

Vehicle Noise Compensation (VNC): Your vehicle has a Bose® audio system. It includes Bose AudioPilot® noise compensation technology. When turned on, AudioPilot® continuously adjusts the audio system equalization, to compensate for background noise, so that the audio always sounds the same at the set volume level. This feature is most effective at lower radio volume settings where background noise can affect how well the music is being heard through the audio system. At higher volume settings, where the music is much louder than the background noise, there might be little or no adjustments by AudioPilot®. Turn the AudioPilot® on by pressing the (tune/select) knob to enter the main menu. Then turn this knob until VNC:AUDIOPILOT displays. Press this knob to turn AudioPilot® on and off. An X appears in the box while it is on. To turn AudioPilot® off, press the knob to enter the main menu, turn this knob until VNC:AUDIOPILOT appears, and press this knob. The X in the box disappears when it is turned off. For additional information on AudioPilot®, visit www.bose.com/audiopilot.

XM™ Satellite Radio Service

XM™ is a satellite radio service that is based in the 48 contiguous United States and 10 Canadian provinces. XM™ Satellite Radio has a wide variety of programming and commercial-free music, coast-to-coast, and in digital-quality sound. During your trial or when you subscribe, you will get unlimited access to XM™ Radio Online for when you are not in your vehicle. A service fee is required to receive the XM™ service. For more information, contact XM™ at www.xmradio.com or call 1-800-929-2100 in the U.S. and www.xmradio.ca or call 1-877-438-9677 in Canada.

(Information): Press while in XM™ mode to retrieve additional text information related to the current XM™ station such as: Channel, Song, Artist, and CAT (category). To view this information, perform the following:

  1. Press the knob to enter the main menu.
  2. Turn this knob until INFO (information) displays.

  4. Press the BACK (F6) button to exit the display. To return to the original display, repeatedly press the BACK (F6) button or wait for the display to time out.

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 do the following:

    • Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of programming.
    • Receive announcements concerning local and national emergencies.
    • Display messages from radio stations.
    • Seek to stations with traffic announcements.

This system relies upon receiving specific information from these stations and only works when the information is available. In rare cases, a radio station could broadcast incorrect information that causes the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio station.

While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the station name or call letters display instead of the frequency. RDS stations can also provide the time of day, a program type (PTY) for current programming, and the name of the program being broadcast.

The RDS function does not work with XM™.

RDS Messages

ALERT: Alert warns of local and national emergencies. When, an alert announcement comes on the current radio station or a related network station, ALERT displays. The announcement should be heard, even if the volume is low or a CD or DVD is playing. If a CD or DVD is playing, play stops during the announcement. Alert announcements cannot be turned off. If the radio tunes to a related network station for the announcement, it returns to the original station when the announcement ends. ALERT is not affected by tests of the emergency broadcast system. This feature is not supported by all RDS stations.

MSG (Message): If the current RDS station has a message, MSG displays. The message displays the artist, song title, call in phone numbers, etc. If the entire message does not display, parts of the message appear every three seconds until the message is completed. Once the completed message has displayed, MSG disappears from the display until a new message is received. To display the last message, perform the following steps:

  1. Press the knob to enter the main menu.
  2. Turn this knob until RECALL RDS MESSAGE displays.
  3. Press this knob again until the message displays.

Once the message has been displayed, MSG disappears from the display until another new message is received.

TP (Traffic Program): TP displays when the radio detects a signal from an RDS station that has traffic announcement broadcast capability.

TA (Traffic Announcement): If TA displays, it means the tuned radio station broadcasts traffic announcements. If the station does not broadcast traffic announcements, when TA is turned on it seeks to a station that does. When a station that broadcasts traffic announcements is found, the radio stops seeking and TA displays. If no station is found that broadcasts traffic announcements, No Traffic displays. The radio plays traffic announcements even if the volume is low. The radio interrupts the play of a CD or DVD if the last tuned station broadcasts traffic announcements. To turn TA on or off, perform the following steps:

  1. Press the knob to enter the main menu.
  2. Turn this knob until TRAFFIC ANNOUNCE displays.
  3. Press this knob again to select ON or OFF. An X appears in the box when ON is selected.
  4. Press the BACK (F6) button to exit the display. To return to the original display, repeatedly press the BACK (F6) button or wait for the display to time out.

Activating Program Type (PTY) Stations (RDS and XM™)

PTY lets you search for stations with specific types of music. The selectable PTYs are POP, EASY, TALK, CNTRY (Country), CLASS (Classical), and JAZZ.

To activate program types, perform the following steps:

  1. Press the knob to enter the main menu.
  2. Turn this knob until PROGRAM TYPE MODE displays.
  3. Press this knob again to select ON or OFF. An X appears in the box when ON is selected.
  4. Press the BACK (F6) button to exit the display. To return to the original display, repeatedly press the BACK (F6) button or wait for the display to time out.

Once program type is activated the PTYs displays above the pushbuttons, in place of the preset stations (if programmed). Press the pushbutton for the desired PTY. The radio might not go to all of the stations with that music type when pressing the pushbutton, as not all stations support PTYs.

AF (Alternate Frequency): Alternate frequency allows the radio to switch to a stronger station with the same program type. To turn AF on or off, perform the following steps:

  1. Press the knob to enter the main menu.
  2. Turn this knob until ALTERNATE FREQ. displays.
  3. Press this knob again to select AF OFF, AF ON, or AF REG (regular). When AF is selected an X appears in that box.

Using the Six-Disc CD Changer

The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm) single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.

When a CD is inserted, the CD functions display above the pushbuttons, in place of the preset stations, if programmed.

(Load): Press to load CDs into the CD player. This CD player holds up to six CDs. To insert one CD, do the following:

  1. The ignition and the radio can be on or off.
  2. Press and release the button. Please Wait displays.
  3. When INSERT displays, insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player pulls the CD in.

When a CD is inserted, CD displays. The number of the CD and the track number also displays if the radio is on.

If the radio is on, the CD begins to play automatically.

To insert multiple CDs, do the following:

  1. The ignition and the radio can be on or off.
  2. Press and hold the button for two seconds. Please Wait displays and a beep sounds.
  3. When INSERT displays, insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player pulls the CD in.
  4. Do not load a CD until INSERT displays. The CD player takes up to six CDs. Do not try to load more than six. If you want to load less than six CDs, load the desired amount. The CD player times out when it does not receive any more CDs and the last CD loaded begins to play.

If the radio is on, the last CD loaded begins to play automatically.

Care of Your CDs

If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can be reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the CD-R has been handled. Handle them carefully. Store CD-R(s) in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. The CD and DVD player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD does not play properly or not at all. 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.

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.

Care of Your CD and DVD Player

Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the CD player. If a CD is recorded on a personal computer and a description label is needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD with a marking pen.

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 and DVD player mechanism.

Notice: If a label is added to a CD, or more than one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs, the CD player could be damaged. While using the CD player, use only CDs in good condition without any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player and the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids, and debris.
