Playing the Radio

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

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

SRCE (Source): Press this button 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 continues 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 your music 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 you hear the music being played through your 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®. To use AudioPilot®, set the radio volume at a low to moderate listening level. Begin listening while the vehicle is stopped with the motor running. Turn the AudioPilot® on by pressing the (tune/select) knob to enter the main menu. Then turn the knob until VNC:AUDIOPILOT displays. Press the knob to turn AudioPilot® on and off. An X appears in the box when it is turned on. Then, resume driving, gradually increasing the vehicle speed. The music should sound the same regardless of background noises; such as road noise, tire hum, or wind. With the AudioPilot® turned off, repeat this process again without adjusting the volume or tone controls. The background noise is now audible, and prevents you from hearing softer passages of the music. To turn AudioPilot® off, press the knob to enter the main menu, turn the knob until VNC:AUDIOPILOT appears, and press the knob. The X in the box disappears when it is turned off. For additional information on AudioPilot®, please 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 Canada. XM™ offers a large variety of coast-to-coast channels including music, news, sports, talk, traffic/weather (U.S. subscribers), and children’s programming. XM™ provides digital quality audio and text information that includes song title and artist name. A service fee is required in order to receive the XM™ service. For more information, contact XM™; In the U.S. at www.xmradio.com or call 1-800-852-XMXM (9696) or in Canada at www.xmradio.ca or call 1-877-GET-XMSR (438-9677).

(Information): Press the button while in XM™ mode to retrieve three different categories of information related to the current song or channel: Artist, Song Title, Category (category) or PTY (program type). To view this information, perform the following:

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 can 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.

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. You will hear the announcement, 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 is finished. 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 can display the artist, song title, call in phone numbers, etc. If the entire message does not display, parts of the message appears every three seconds until the message is completed. Once the completed message has displayed, MSG disappears from the display until another new message is received. To display the last message, perform the following steps:

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

Once the message has 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. When a traffic announcement is broadcast, you will hear it. 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 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 the knob until TRAFFIC ANNOUNCE displays.
  3. Press the knob to select ON or OFF. An X appears in the box when TA is selected on.
  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 allows you to 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 the knob until PROGRAM TYPE MODE displays.
  3. Press the knob to select ON or OFF. When PTY is selected, an X appears in the ON box.
  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 the knob until ALTERNATE FREQ. displays.
  3. Press the knob to select AF OFF, AF ON, or AF REG (regular). When AF is selected an X appears in that box.
  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.

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.

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. There can be an increase in skipping, difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur, check the bottom surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD does not play properly. If the surface of the CD is soiled, see Care of Your CDs and DVDs for more information.

If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD.

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.

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.

If an error displays, see "CD Messages" later in this section.
