INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
After replacing the radio receiver assembly of vehicles subscribed to pay-type satellite radio broadcasts, XM radio ID registration is necessary (w/ SDARS System).

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY

(a) Check the radio automatic station search function.

(1) Check the radio automatic station search function by activating it.

Result:





B -- REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY Removal
A -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK OPTIONAL COMPONENTS

(a) Check optional components (sun-shade film, telephone antenna, etc.).

(1) Check if any optional components that may decrease reception capacity, such as sunshade film or a telephone antenna, are installed.

Result:





NOTICE:
Do not remove optional components without the permission of the customer.

B -- CHECK RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY

A -- REMOVE OPTIONAL COMPONENTS AND CHECK AGAIN (SEE NOTICE ABOVE)

3. CHECK RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY

(a) Preparation for check
