AUDIO SYSTEM

The are three different levels of acoustic system available on the vehicle:

- standard radio (with CD / MP3 player), completes the audio system with 6 speakers;

- INTERSCOPE Hi-Fi sound system (with 8 speakers, subwoofer and multi-channel amplifier);

- aftermarket radio preparation.

There is also the possibility of a Blue&Me telematic system with Bluetooth radio telephone function and Mediaplayer,

General specifications of the standard system

The system comprises of 6 speakers as illustrated in the diagram:

1 - Radio

2 - Front door midwoofer speakers

3 - Tweeter front speakers

4 - Midwoofer rear speakers

5 - Aerial

Front speakers

They are 165 mm diameter 40W mid-woofer speakers located in the front doors.

They are designed for the reproduction of medium-low frequencies.

The (water resistant) technology used for these components allows them to withstand possible sprays of water inside the door without being damaged.

There is a speaker with a paper cone, polyurethane support, ferrite magnet and aluminium/paper coil support.

Front tweeters

These are 30W tweeter speakers located in the door panel triangular upper trim, designed to reproduce higher frequencies.

There is a dome tweeter with a polycarbonate cone, plastic support, ferrite magnet and copper coil support.

Rear speakers

These are 130 mm diameter full-range 40W speakers, located in the rear doors, capable of reproducing the entire audio frequency spectrum.

Water resistant technology has been adopted for these components as well.

There is a dual cone speaker with a paper cone, plastic (ABS) support, ferrite magnet and aluminium coil support.

Aerial

The aerial mounting, located at the back of the vehicle roof, has a coaxial cable for transmitting the radio signal and a supply line.

The aerial stem is 36 cm long.

On some versions the aerial has three functions:

- AM and FM radio

- GSM for radiophone

- GPS for satellite navigation system.

The coaxial cable has an extension included in the vehicle rear and dashboard wiring which reaches the radio itself.

GPS - connection with GPS device

GSM - connection with GSM aerial

radio - connection with AM-FM aerial

1 - aerial mounting

2 - triple function outside aerial

Interscope hi-fi sound system

An INTERSCOPE Hi-Fi Sound System is available on request.

The Interscope audio system is characterised by an aggressive sound specifically aimed to please young people.

The system is composed of 8 speakers, a power amplifier and a subwoofer box for deep bass.

The system has been developed ad hoc for the vehicle: the acoustic properties of the passenger compartment have been carefully studied so that the amplifier and the speakers are ideally suited to the vehicle: optimum listening is available in any part of the passenger compartment.

Front speakers

These are 165 mm diameter mid-woofer speakers, with a polypropylene membrane for clean mid-range frequencies and precise bass; the power is 30 Wrms.

There are positioned in the front doors.

Front and rear tweeters

These are Tweeters with neodymium magnets and treated silk membranes for crystaline treble; the power is 20 Wrms.

The front speakers are located in the door panel upper triangular trim.

The rear speakers are located in the door above the mid-woofer speaker.

Rear speakers

These are 130 mm diameter mid-woofer speakers, with copper rings for acoustics without distortion; the power is 30 Wrms.

They are located in the rear door.

Subwoofer with amplifier

The 10 litre volume bass-reflex type sub-woofer box contains a 165 mm diameter 100W speaker for the reproduction of low frequencies.

The box is located in the luggage compartment, left wheel arch side, and also contains the 4+1 channel power amplifier (4 x 20 WRMS) for the operation of the actual subwoofer and, via two parametric equalizers, the two front channels and the two rear ones.

AMPLIFIER CONNECTION PIN OUT

Car radio preparation trim level

The vehicle can be fitted, on request, with a simple AFTERMARKET preparation, (opt. 082) that includes the same speakers and connections as the standard version, but does NOT include the car radio which can be fitted in the aftermarket.

The radio installed in the aftermarket is therefore not a CAN network node through which information is exchanged with the Body Computer and with the other electronic units.

Two connections are supplied: one (connector A of P20) with the following standard ISO pin out:

The second connection (connector B of P20) for connection with the speakers is the same as the standard version.

Speakers and aerial

These are the same as the standard version.

RADIO

The Radio Receiver Node (RRN) is in a DIN housing, usually located in the middle of the dashboard.

There are two versions: Radio CD, and Radio CD/MP3.

Both have a painted front section: the trim is black metal and the buttons are grey.

All versions are prepared for connection with the low speed CAN interface at the B-CAN to allow dialogue with the other system nodes. The following are transferred via this interface:

- Anti-theft code;

- On control (for switching-off logic);

- Speed dependent volume control;

- Lighting control;

- Remote controls from the steering wheel, where fitted;

- Repetition of radio information at control panel.

Radio front section

Display

The alphanumerical display is large with 20 characters for RDS functions and control symbols

Remote controls on the steering wheel

There may be remote controls on the steering wheel for the radio:

Anti-theft code

The radio is installed in production and is connected to the CAN in order to establish communication with the Body Computer memorizing an anti-theft code known as an Exchange Code.

At each subsequent Key On (and even if the battery is disconnected), an automatic authentication procedure is repeated: the words "CAN CHECK" appear in the radio display: if the Exchange Code check is positive, the system begins to operate. If the codes compared are not the same, a message appears on the display asking the user to enter a manual code (Master Code - 4-figure code from 1111 to 6666) that is shown on the radio code card.

The Master Code is pre-programmed in production and different for each radio; it is also different from the Exchange Code.

Entering the secret code

When the radio is switched on, if there is a code request, the word "CODE" will appear on the display for about 2 seconds followed by four dashes "----".

The secret code is made up of four digits between 1 and 6, each corresponding to one of the dashes.

To enter the first digit of the code, press the button corresponding to the pre-selection stations (from 1 to 6). Enter the other digits of the code in the same way.

If the four figures are not entered within 20 seconds, the display again shows the message "CODE" for 2 seconds and then the four dashes "---". This is not considered as incorrect entering of the code.

After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds), the car radio will start to work.

If an incorrect code is entered, the radio will give out an acoustic warning, the word "CODE" will appear on the display for 2 seconds and then four dashes "----" to indicate that the user needs to enter the correct code.

After three attempts the radio considers the last code as "incorrect"; each time the user enters an incorrect code, the waiting time increases gradually (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) to a maximum of 24 hours. The waiting time is shown on the display with the words "RADIO BLOCKED, WAIT".

After the writing has disappeared it is possible to start the procedure of entering the code again.

Code card

This document certifies ownership of the car radio. The Code Card shows the radio model, serial number and secret code.

The manual Master Code input procedure is necessary only if: replacing the Body Computer for a radio already used on another vehicle with a CAN.

A "new" radio (never previously fitted on other vehicles) can be fitted following an automatic authentication procedure without manually entering the Master Code.

Operation at key off

The following function can be selected using the radio setup menu:

- if the radio is on at the time of the Key off, it is automatically switched off after 20 minutes (or another period that can be selected using the Menu); it is, however, possible to keep it on for another 20 minutes by pressing the ON button again.

The following can be selected in the setup menu under the item "- - - I G N I T I O N - T I M E R - - -".

"- - O F F - A F T E R - 0 0 - M I N - -"

"- - O F F - A F T E R - 20 - M I N - -"
