Radio Reception

Radio reception is affected by station signal strength, distance from radio transmitter, buildings, bridges, mountains, and other external influences. Intermittent changes in reception quality normally are caused by these external influences.
FM
FM signals only reach about 40 to 48 km (25 to 30 mi), with monaural (single channel) FM having slightly more range than stereo FM. External influences may sometimes interfere with FM station reception even if the FM station is within 40 km (25 mi). The strength of the FM signal is directly related to the distance between the transmitter and receiver.
AM
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can bend around objects and skip along the ground. Because of these characteristics, AM signals
are also subject to interference as they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Satellite Radio Reception (If Equipped)
When the satellite radio is used for the first time or the battery has been replaced, the satellite radio may not work properly. This is not a malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with satellite radio on and the vehicle outside of any metal or large building for satellite radio to receive all of the necessary data.
No satellite radio reception is available and “NO SAT” is displayed when the SAT band option is selected unless an optional satellite receiver and antenna are installed and a SiriusXM service subscription is active.
Satellite radio performance may be affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over the satellite antenna.
®
Satellite Radio
A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna can affect satellite radio performance. Remove the ice to restore satellite radio reception.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage can cause interference with the vehicle's radio.

Fixed Mast Antenna

The fixed mast antenna will go through most car washes as long as it is securely attached. If the antenna becomes slightly bent, straighten it out by hand. If it is badly bent, replace it.
Occasionally check that the antenna is tight at the base. If tightening is required, protect the paint from damage.

Audio Players

CD Player

When the CD button on the faceplate is pressed with the system off and the disc is loaded, the system will turn on and the disc begins playback.
When playing any compatible recordable disc, the sound quality may be reduced due to the disc, the method of recording, the quality of the music recorded, or how the disc has been handled.

MP3: This is short for Moving Pictures Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the most well-known compressed digital audio file format. This format allows for near “CD quality” sound, but at a fraction of the size of normal audio files. MP3 conversion of an audio track from CD-ROM can reduce the file size by approximately a 10:1 ratio with little loss in quality. MP3 compression removes the redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound signal that the human ear does not hear.

codec offers greater file compression than the MP3 codec, enabling storage of more digital audio tracks in the same amount of space when compared to MP3s at the same level of quality.
.
Bit Rate: Bit rate denotes the number of bits per second used by a digital music file. The size and quality of a compressed digital audio file is determined by the bit rate used when encoding the file.
.
Sampling Frequency: This is the rate at which the samples of a signal are converted from analog to digital (A/D conversion) per second.
.
Multisession: Multisession is one of the methods for writing data to media. Writing data once to the media is called a single session, and writing more than once is called a multisession.
