Theft Deterrent
The theft deterrent system is a feature on all base and uplevel radios. There is no need to program a security
code into the radio as in past model years. The theft deterrent system now utilizes class 2 serial data to
determine if the radio is in the appropriate vehicle. Each time the radio receives the "run" power mode message,
it compares the VIN information it has stored to the VIN information received from a module on the class 2
serial data circuit responsible for transmitting that information. If a mis-match occurs, the radio display will
indicate to the user the radio is locked. Once this takes place, a DTC will set, the radio will not respond to any
button presses and become inoperative. The two scenarios able to cause this condition are:
z
A radio is installed from another vehicle
z
A module which communicates on the class 2 serial data circuit which supplies VIN information to the
radio is replaced and not properly setup with the correct VIN information for that vehicle
The only way to unlock the radio is by using a scan tool. Always refer to the table in this section to diagnose the
"Theftlock" DTC for further information.
Integral Multi Disc CD Changer (IMDX)
The Integral Multi Disc CD Changer has the capability of storing and playing up to six (6) compact discs. The
Integral Multi Disc CD Changer has a shock-absorbing system. Only under extreme operating temperatures or
severe shock or vibration should the compact disc player skip or mute. If the customer travels an abnormally
rough road, a skip condition may be normal. Test drive the vehicle on a normal road with a known good CD. If
the condition is still present, replace the radio.
The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with
lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
To operate the Integral Multi Disc CD Changer in the single play mode, depress the LOAD button for less than
2 seconds, an audible beep can then be heard. When the disc door opens the LED to the right of the disc door
will first turn red then green to indicate the CD can be loaded. The radio will also display the message INSERT
CD 1 and the changer will pull the disc into the play position. To operate the changer in the multi disc mode,
depress the MODE button for more than two seconds and the LED to the right of the disc door will first turn red
then green to indicate CDs can be loaded. The radio will also display the message MULTI LOAD to indicate
the multi load mode has been initiated and the changer will begin accepting a disc for however many empty
slots there may be. If eight seconds elapse before the next disc is loaded, the multi load mode is cancelled and
can be re-initiated if desired by depressing the load button again for more than two seconds. If the changer is
full, (6 discs are loaded) the single play and multi load modes cannot be executed. When this occurs, three
audible beeps are heard and the message CHANGER FULL is displayed.
Remote Playback Device
The remote playback device is either installed at the factory or in some instances it is dealer installed. There are
three types of remote playback devices, a multi disc remote CD changer, a single disc CD player and a cassette
player. All three devices have a wiring harness which plugs into the back of the radio. The radio controls and
communicates with the remote playback device through a Entertainment and Comfort (E&C) or class 2
communication circuit.
