The entertainment system includes the Audio Control Module (ACM), Front Control Interface Module (FCIM), speakers, steering column controls, and various antennas, with performance levels ranging from a Base stereo system to a Premium system and a full navigation system. Programming is required when replacing the ACM or FCIM, and it is essential to upload the proper information from the original component before removal. For ACM replacement, disconnect the negative battery terminal, remove the center console side trim moldings, take out the ACM mounting screws, pull out the ACM, and disconnect the antenna cable and electrical connectors. Installation follows the reverse order, ensuring the module information is downloaded into the replacement module by the original service facility. For FCIM replacement, remove the center trim panels, take out the retaining screws, pull out the unit, and disconnect the electrical connectors, with installation also following the reverse order and requiring module information download. For door speakers, applicable to both front and rear, remove the door trim panel, take out the speaker mounting screws, pull the speaker from its enclosure, and disconnect the electrical connectors, with installation reversing the removal steps. For the parcel shelf speaker, remove the parcel shelf, disconnect the electrical connector, take out the screws securing the speaker, and remove it, with installation reversing the removal process.
