Dodge Journey: Description, Operation

DESCRIPTION

Several combinations of radio receivers and speaker systems are offered. The audio system uses an ignition switched source of battery current so that the system will only operate when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCESSORY positions.

The audio system includes the following components:

  • Antenna (Radio and Satellite)
  • Power amplifier (with premium speaker system only)
  • Radio noise suppression components
  • Radio receiver
  • Remote radio switches (if equipped)
  • Satellite Receiver (integrated within the radio)
  • Speakers

OPERATION

The audio system components are designed to provide audio entertainment and information through the reception, tuning and amplification of locally broadcast radio signals in both the Amplitude Modulating (AM) and Frequency Modulating (FM) commercial frequency ranges.

The audio system components operate on battery current received through a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) (Diesel Only) or the Totally Integrated Control Module (TIPM) on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit so that the system will only operate when the ignition switch is in the Run or Accessory positions.
