The in car entertainment (ICE) system allows the driver and passengers to listen to audio output from the speakers or optional headphones inside the vehicle. Buttons or knobs on the radio cassette allow changes of levels or selections during the various modes of operation. The system can be controlled from the fascia mounted radio cassette, or optional remote control switches on the left hand side of the steering wheel. High line systems may also have rear headphone amplifiers that have some control of the system via the radio cassette player.

One or two amplified aerials located in the rear side windows send radio signals to the radio cassette player. On high line systems a power amplifier and a CD-autochanger may be located under the front seats. Speakers are located In the lower door panels, additional speakers may be located in upper door trim, the A-post and the tail door. A display screen shows the user the current system status.

The ICE supplied varies with trim level and market. Vehicles may not have all of the speakers, amplified aerials, CD-autochanger, rear headphone amplifiers or power amplifier.
