Audio System
System Description
Overview
The audio unit acts as the "processor" for all audio functions. Select audio functions from the audio unit, the audio
remote (on the steering wheel), or by using the navigation voice control system. The audio display provides the
current audio status. For vehicles with navigation, additional audio information is available by touching the audio
button on the Navigation Audio Screen. (See the owner's manual and the navigation system manual for more details.)
The XM receiver and audio disc changer passes its signal to the audio unit. In addition, it communicates with the audio
unit via the GA-Net bus. Any open connections in the GA-Net bus circuit will cause audio and navigation functions to
appear inoperative.
For vehicles with navigation, pressing the "open/close" switch on the navigation display panel allows access to the CD
slot and PC card.
A security signal is daisy-chained between the audio and vehicle components for integration into the vehicle's security
system.
Speed-sensitive volume compensation (SVC)

Some audio systems are equipped with speed-sensitivevolume compensation (SVC). The navigation or audio unit
receives the vehicle speed pulse (VSP)from the ECMIPCM. The system processes the speed input and increases the
navigation or audio system volume level as the vehicle speed increases to compensate for the various interior noise
that occurs at higher speeds. When the vehicle slows down, the volume returns to its normal level. The SVC has four
settings: SVC OFF, LOW, MID and HIGH that can be adjusted using the navigation or audio unit. The SVC comes from
the factory with MID set as the default.
To change the audio unit SVC setting, press the "tune folder sound" knob repeatedly until the SVC is displayed, then
rotate the knob to adjust the SVC to the desired setting (SVC OFF, LOW, MID, or HIGH)
To change the navigation unit SVC setting, press the AUDIO button, and then select the SOUND icon on the navigation
display. Press the navigation display to select the desired setting (OFF, LOW, MID, HI)
The navigation system allows voice control for the audio, XM, PC card, and CD player. The GA-Net (audio unit)
communicates the voice control commands. When using the TALKfBACK button, the audio is muted on a l l speakers
and you hear navigation sound on the front channels. When using the navigation or route guidance (RG), the front
speakers provides the navigation sound and the rear speakers continue to play. For more information, see the
navigation section. The outline of the interruption function is shown in this table.

GA-Net Bus Configuration

The GA-Net bus passes audio and navigation commands throughout the navigation and audio components.
These commands include navigation touch screen and hard button signals, audio/XM selections by voice, and XM
station and music title names. Because the entire bus is daisy-chained between components (see diagram), any open
or short in the GA-Net bus harness will cause any or a l l of these functions to become inoperative. The addition of any
audio accessory must maintain the continuity of the GA-Net bus by installing the "Y" cable included with the
accessory kit.

Navigation System
System Description
Overview
The navigation system is a highly sophisticated, hybrid locating system.
The navigation unit uses global positioning system (GPS) satellite signals, internal yaw and vehicle speed inputs, and
a map database to show you where you are and to help guide you to a desired destination.
The navigation unit's GPS receiver receives signals from the GPS, a network of 24 satellites in orbit around the earth.
By receiving signals from several of these satellites, the navigation system can determine the latitude, longitude, and
elevation of the vehicle.
Signals from the system's yaw rate sensor (inside the navigation unit) detects turns, and the PCM vehicle speed pulse
(VSP) and reverse signal enable the system to keep track of the vehicle's speed and direction of travel. The advantage
of this hybrid system is that the system can track your position if either the GPS signal or the vehicle speed signal is
missing. For instance, when in a tunnel (no GPS), the speed signal is used to update your position on the map.
Alternately, while the vehicle is being transported on a ferry, GPS signals can show the vehicle position on the map as
i t crosses the water.
The navigation system uses the location, direction, and speed information to display the appropriate map and
calculate a route to the destination entered. As you drive to a destination, the system provides both visual and audio
guidance. Audio guidance is sent to the audio unit, and an RGB graphics color signal is sent to the navigation display.
This navigation system also has voice recognition that allows voice control of most of the navigation, audio, and
climate control functions. The voice control switches (TALK and BACK buttons on the steering wheel) activate the
voice control system. The microphone on the ceiling receives your voice commands. For more information on this
feature, consult the navigation system manual.
The illumination signal is used by the navigation unit to automatically switch the display mode between the "Night"
and "Day" display modes. When the headlights are on, the dash brightness control setting "full brightness" overrides
the "Night" display mode, and allows a daytime navigation display with the lights on.
When the navigation system is giving voice guidance commands, the front speakers are muted. When the voice
control system is used (TALK button pressed), all of the speakers are muted.
The internal GA-Net II bus passes information back and forth between the navigation display, the navigation unit, and
the audio system components. The information passed on this bus are touch button commands, audio muting signal,
audio (radio and XM), and any open in these bus lines can affect the navigation system or other audio accessory
operation.
The clock on the navigation display is set and maintained by the navigation unit. The time is automatically adjusted for
daylight savings, and time zone changes while driving. The time can be adjusted in setup.
Additional information is available about the navigation components following the System Diagram. A glossary of
terms that are used throughout this section follows the detailed information.
The navigation system manual in the glove box covers all of the system functions and settings. Use this as a resource
when evaluating a customer concern.

GA-Net Bus Configuration
The GA-Net bus passes audio and navigation commands throughout the navigation and audio components.
These commands include audio/XM selections by voice, and XM station and music title names. Because the entire bus
is daisy-chained between components (see diagram), any open or short in the GA-Net bus harness will cause any or
all of these functions to become inoperative. The addition of any factory audio accessory must maintain the continuity
of the GA-Net bus by installing the "Y" cable included with the accessory kit.

Navigation System

Yaw Rate Sensor
The yaw rate sensor (located i n the navigation unit) detects the direction change (angular speed) of the vehicle. The
sensor is an oscillation gyro built into the navigation unit. ,
Sensor Element Structure

The sensor element is shaped like a tuning fork, and it consists of the piezoelectric parts, the metal block, and the
support pin. There are four piezoelectric parts: one t o drive the oscillators, one t o monitor and maintain the osoillation
at a regular frequency, and t w o t o detect angular velocity. The t w o oscillators, which have a 90-degree twist i n the
center, are connected at the bottom by the metal block and supported by the support pin. A detection piezoelectric part
is attached t o the top of each oscillator. The driving piezoelectric part is attached t o the bottom of one oscillator, and
the monitoring piezoelectric part is attached t o the bottom of the other oscillator.
OscillationGyro Principles
The piezoelectric parts have "electric/mechanicaI transfer characteristics." They bend vertically when voltage is
applied t o both sides of the parts, and voltage is generated between both sides of the piezoelectric parts when they are
bent b y an external force. The oscillation gyro functions by utilizing this characteristic of the piezoelectric parts and
"Coriolis force." (Coriolis force deflects moving objects as a result of the earth's rotation.) In the oscillation gyro, this
force moves the sensor element when angular velocity is applied.
Operation
1. The driving piezoelectric part oscillates the oscillator by repeatedly bending and returning when an AC voltage of
6 kHz is applied t o the part, The monitoring-side oscillator resonates because it is connected t o the driving-side
oscillator by the metal block.
2. The monitoring piezoelectric part bends i n proportion t o the oscillation and outputs voltage (the monitor signal).
The navigation unit control circuit controls the drive signal t o stabilize the monitor signal.
3. When the vehicle is stopped, the detecting piezoelectric parts oscillate right and left with the oscillators, but no
signal is output because the parts are not bent (no angular force).
4. When the vehicle turns t o the right, the sensor element moves i n a circular motion with the right oscillator
bending forward and the left oscillator bending rearward. The amount of forward/rearward bend varies according
t o the angular velocity of the vehicle.
5. The detecting piezoelectric parts output voltage (the yaw rate signal) according t o the amount of bend. The
amount of vehicle direction change is determined by measuring this voltage.

Global Positioning System IGPS)
The global positioning system (GPS) enables the navigation system to determine the current position of the vehicle by
using the signals transmitted from the satellites i n orbit around the earth. The satellites transmit the satellite
identification signal, orbit information, transmission time signal, and other information. When the GPS receiver
receives a signal from four or more satellites simultaneously, it calculates the current position of the vehicle based on
the distance to each satellite and the satellite's positions i n its respective orbit.
Position detection Image with GPS satellite
Precision of GPS
The precision of the GPS varies according to the number of satellites from which signals are received and the view of
the sky. The precision is indicated by the color and shape of the GPS icon shown on the display.

GPS Antenna
The GPS antenna amplifies and transmits the signals received from the satellites to the GPS receiver.
GPS Receiver
The GPS receiver is built into the navigation unit. It calculates the vehicle position by receiving the signal from the GPS
antenna. The vehicle position and signal reception condition is transmitted from the GPS receiver to the navigation
control unit to adjust vehicle position.
Navigation System

Navigation Unit
The navigation unit calculates the vehicle position and guides you to the destination. The unit performs map matching
correction, GPS correction, and distance tuning. It also controls the menu functions and the DVD-ROM drive, and
interprets voice commands: With control of all these items, the navigation unit makes the navigation picture signal,
then it transmits the signal to the navigation display and audio driving instructions to the audio unit.
Calculation of Vehicle Position

The navigation unit calculates the vehicle position (the driving direction and the current position) by receiving the
directional change signals from the yaw rate sensor and the travel distance signals from the PCMs vehicle speed pulse
(VSP) signal.
Map Matching Tuning

The map matching tuning is accomplished by indicating the vehicle position on the roads on the map. The map data
transmitted from the DVD-ROM is checked against the vehicle position data, and the vehicle position is indicated on
the nearest road. Map matching tuning does not occur when the vehicle travels on a road not shown on the map, or
when the vehicle position is far away from a road on the map.
GPS Tuning
The GPS tuning is accomplished by indicating the vehicle position as the GPS's vehicle position. The navigation unit
compares its calculated vehicle position data with the GPS vehicle position data. If there is large difference between
the two, the indicated vehicle position is adjusted to the GPS vehicle position.
Distance Tuning
The distance tuning reduces the difference between the travel distance signal from the VSP and the distance data on
the map. The navigation unit compares its calculated vehicle position data with the GPS vehicle position data. The
navigation unit then decreases the tuning value when the vehicle position is always ahead of the GPS vehicle position,
and it increases the tuning value when the vehicle position is always behind the GPS vehicle position.
Route Guidance
The navigation unit can calculate different routes to a selected destination. You have five options:
Direct Route - Calculate a route that is the most direct.
Easy Route - Calculate a route that minimizes the number of turns needed.
Minimize Freeways - Calculate a route that avoids freeway travel. If that is not possible, keep the amount of
freeway travel to a minimum.
-
Minimize Toll Roads Calculate a route that avoids, or minimizes travel on toll roads.
Maximize Freeways - Calculate a route that uses freeways as much as possible.
Audio Guidance
The navigation unit transmits audio driving instructions before entering an intersection or passing a junction.
The audio instructions come through the audio unit to the front speakers.
NOTE: The front speakers are muted whenever the navigation system is giving guidance commands, and all of the
speakers are muted when the voice control system is being used.
DVD-ROM
The map data (including all scale rates) is stored in the DVD-ROM. The map data includes:
Road distances, road widths, speed limits, traffic regulations, passing time at junction, distances to junctions, and
the driving instructions for audio guidance.
Latitude and longitude GPS.
Audio Unit (Built in the navigation unit)
The audio unit receives the audio driving instructions from the navigation unit, and transmits the instructions through
the front speakers even when the audio system is in use.
Navigation Display
The navigation display uses a liquid crystal display (LCD). The LCD is a 6.5-inch-diagonal, thin film transistor (TFT),
stripe type with 65,536 color, The color film and fluorescent light are laid out on the back of the liquid crystal film. The
touch sensor on the front of the LCD consists of a touch sensitive resistive membrane with an infinite number of
possible touch locations.

orbit. Because satellites fail, and have to be removed
from service, spares are always parked in orbit, ready
to be activated. This is why the PRN (satellite ID
number) can be greater than 24.
NOTE:
To use this screen for troubleshooting, the vehicle
should be outside, away from buildings, tall trees,
and high-tension wires for at least 10 minutes with
the engine running.
Metallic window tinting on the front or side window
or after-market electronic accessories mounted near
the navigation unit, GPS antenna, or navigation
display can interfere with GPS acquisition.
The "Number of Satellites" box shows the number of
acquired satellites (maximum of 12). It should contain
4 or more icons. If not, troubleshoot for "GPS icon is
white" (see page 23-1 12).
The "Current Position" shows latitude, longitude, and
elevation (in meters). If there are less than four
satellites, the elevation can be grossly inaccurate.
The Daterrime field shows the current date, and also
a time that includes daylight savings and other
offsets entered by the customer in Setup function
"Adjust Time Zone/Clock."
I GPS Detail
By pressing and holding the MENU button for
10 seconds, a GPS Detail screen appears. This screen
displays real time incoming satellite positional data.
Most of the information shown on this screen is for
factory use, however some of the data can indicate
partial GPS signal interference.
NOTE:
Push and hold the "MapIGuide" button, and the "dots"
on the diagram are replaced with the "PRN"# (satellite
numbers). These numbers correspond t o the numbers
in the "PRN" column on the "GPS details" screen.
The box TSIAS and HDoplVDop is for factory use.

The Speed and Direction information is updated in
real time when driving, and can be used to detect
intermittent speed sensor problems.
The Datenime Information is the same as in Setup
screen 2 "Adjust Time ZoneIClock".
If the " 3 D icon is shown above the yellow dots, this
implies that at least four satellites are available for
map positioning, and the "GPS" indicator on the map
screen will be green. See the Global Positioning
System detailed explanation in the "System
Description" (see page 23-95).
If the row of data in the table below begins with a
