Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Remote Control
There is a remote control for the infotainment system. It is used for remote control of the navigation system.
The remote control can be used to activate most of the functions which can be controlled via the keypad units on the climate control module (CCM) and via the buttons on the steering wheel.
The remote control transmits signals via the IR signals to the receiver unit which is located in the grille for the center speaker in the dashboard. The signals then continue via the directly connected cable to the infotainment control module (ICM) which controls the selected function.
