Frequent Ask questions 

 

1.

 

My vehicle has a Navigation radio; will the A2D-C6 work? 
YES

, regardless of factory radio format, the A2D-C6 still requires an XM 

module or remote 6-disc changer to work as described.  

2.

 

My XM subscription has expired, will the A2D-C6 work? 
YES

;

 so long vehicle has an XM module

 or 6-disc changer (in storage 

well).  If XM has expired or vehicle does not have a 6-disc changer in 
storage well; 

an

 

AUX input jack is provided for uses to connect and play 

portable audio devices

. See Question 4. 

3.

 

I’m not the original owner and don’t know if vehicle has 

XM module. 

How can I find out without ripping the car apart? 

Turn radio 

“ON”, press “BAND”

 

or “XM

 1/2

” 

button repeatedly as radio 

cycles through AM/FM/XM1

. If only AM/FM is displayed, vehicle does not 

have required XM module. See Question 5. 

4.

 

XM is currently expired with plans to renew at a later date. Which 
version of the module should I purchase? 

This question is a bit tricky. If XM has expired and vehicle has a 6-disc 
changer in storage well; s

elect “

Subscribed

. If vehicle does not have 6-disc 

changer, you must also select subscribed. Selecting expired option 

disables 

XM and/or 6-disc changer playback

.

 

5.

 

My radio is XM ready but vehicle does not have XM module

Will the 

A2D-C6 work? 
NO

; XM ready means radio is capable of controlling optional XM (U2K) option 

but XM module is not installed. Early C6 were only pre-wired for XM.  
If vehicle has a 6-disc changer (in storage well) the A2D-C6 is compatible 
otherwise users may purchase and install an unlocked XM module.

the A2D-C6 does NOT support Hands-Fee calls. See our 

C6-HF

  

7.

 

Will I be able to control Bluetooth module from radio controls?

 

NO;

 

the factory radio buttons do NOT control the A2D-C6. You must use 

audio device built-in control to access and display song information, or 
purchase optiona

smart remote

. Use radio volume button to set playback 

level.
