(Models with Entune premium audio with navigation and App Suite system or Entune premium JBL audio with navigation and App Suite system)

    3. Satellite Radio (Models with Stereo Component Tuner Assembly)


      1. XM satellite radio is a service that uses signals from 2 satellites in geostationary orbit to make it possible to capture digital radio broadcasts (XM satellite radio) from over 170 channels. XM satellite radio enables users to continually receive their favorite programs.

      2. A station logo is displayed on the XM satellite radio reception screen so that the user can easily recognize which radio station they are listening to. Station logos are provided by the broadcasting company.

    4. HD Radio (Models with Entune Audio Plus System, Entune Premium Audio with Navigation and App Suite System or Entune Premium JBL Audio with Navigation and App Suite System)


      1. In-Band On-Channel (IBOC) type digital radio broadcasts (HD Radio) can be received. In-Band On-Channel (IBOC) broadcasts add digital signals to the existing analog signal band range and both sidebands, enabling analog FM-sound quality for AM stations and CD-sound quality for FM stations. When the digital signals cannot be received, the radio automatically switches to analog signal reception mode.

        Tech Tips

        HD radio is a trademark of iBiquity Digital Corporation.

  5. MAIN FEATURES


    1. XM Satellite Radio


      1. XM satellite radio is a subscription type digital broadcast service.

      2. In addition to the 2 satellites, XM satellite radio is supported by 800 satellite earth stations (repeaters). As a result, broadcasts can be received throughout the U.S.A. (except Hawaii and Alaska) and most parts of Canada.

      3. If the signals from the satellites are disrupted by a tunnel, gulch, or high-rise buildings, a simultaneous broadcast (called "gap filler") through ground based signals helps achieve excellent reception that is free of interruptions.

      4. XM satellite radio produces near CD-quality sound using a digital satellite broadcast. It is particularly convenient for long-distance drivers because it is unnecessary to tune to different stations.
