RADIO - DESCRIPTION
The vehicle is equipped with a radio system comprising:
- wiring (speakers and radio);
- speakers in the mirror triangle (tweeters);
- speakers in the front doors (mid-woofers);
- speakers in the rear door (full-range);
- AM/FM aerial coaxial cable;
- aerial mounting and stem.
With the above preparation it is possible to fit a Linea Accessori or After Market radio.
The radio leads and speaker leads are grouped together by means of two connectors (both 8-way) located and secured in the rear part of the compartment (1 DIN dimensions) which should be removed when fitting the radio.
In this configuration there is no CAN, therefore the customer does not have a series of functions that are available on the radio as the initial system.
The vehicle is equipped with a radio system comprising:
- radio;
- wiring (speakers and radio);
- speakers in the mirror triangle (tweeters);
- speakers in the front doors (mid-woofers);
- speakers in the rear door (full-range);
- AM/FM aerial coaxial cable;
- aerial mounting and stem.
In this configuration the radio is a CAN node through which information is exchanged with the Body Computer and the other electronic units, providing the customer with a series of functions, including:
- automatic switching off 20 minutes after the key off to protect the battery;
- control of the dimmed lighting in the radio display with the side lights on;
- volume control dependent on the vehicle speed (SVC);
- controls on the steering wheel (where fitted).
The radio, available in two different versions depending on customer requirements, can have a traditional CD player or CD MP3 player (compressed files).
The radio has a security system with a four digit identification code on a card that is handed over to the customer when the vehicle is received when there is a factory-fitted radio.
The above code should be entered every time the battery is disconnected to prevent it being reused on another vehicle.
On request a multipolar cable for connecting the radio with a CD Changer located in the oddments compartment on the passenger side can be fitted.
This configuration involves preparation for a mobile phone with hands-free kit.
Some versions are equipped with controls on the steering wheel (6 button version): these make it possible to replicate some of the commands which are acquired in the same way by the actual radio. The functions are:
- change/preset CD track or radio station (forwards);
- change/preset CD track or radio station (backwards);
- SCR (switch listening source);
- VOL+ (increase volume);
- VOL- (decrease volume);
- MUTE.

- speakers on the front doors (mid-woofers);
- speakers on the rear doors (full-range);
- AM/FM aerial coaxial lead;
- aerial mount and stem.
In this configuration, the radio is a node on the CAN network, via which it exchanges information with the Body Computer and the other electronic units to provide the customer with a set of functions, namely:
- automatic deactivation 20 minutes after Key-OFF to safeguard the battery;
- control of dimmed radio display lighting with the side lights on;
- vehicle speed dependent volume control (SVC);
- steering wheel controls (where applicable)
The radio is available in two different versions according to customer needs and may be fitted with a conventional CD or a MP3 (compressed file) CD player.
The radio is equipped with a safety system with a four-figure identification code on a card given to the customer at the time the vehicle is collected with a radio fitted as part of its original equipment.
The above code should be entered whenever the battery is disconnected to prevent its reuse on another vehicle.
It is also possible to fit a multi-polar cable connecting the radio to a CD changer located in the glove compartment on the passenger side.
This configuration includes wiring for a mobile phone with handsfree kit.
Some versions are equipped with radio controls on the steering wheel (6 key version): these make it possible to replicate some of the commands which are acquired as analogue signals by the radio. The following functions are present:
- CD track or radio station change/present (forward);
- CD track or radio station change/present (back);
- SCR (change source);
- VOL+ (increase volume);
