Where does the antenna mount and how large is it?
Can I use the navigation software in my computer?
A "please wait" message is displayed after I enter a destination. If the navigation system displays a "please wait" message after entering in a destination, inspect the GPS antenna. The GPS antenna may have been pinched between the dash and cowl during assembly. This will inhibit the radio from receiving the GPS satellite signal.
Can I play movies or other DVD type discs?
Which audio CD formats are supported?
Will the radio or CD still play while using the Navigation functions?
The RB4 features downloadable memory, allowing user to simultaneously listen to audio CDs or radio while receiving navigation instructions. It does not require an external CD changer.
What is included on the update discs?
Does the RB4 have its own speaker?
What are the "RDS" and "PTY" radio features?
PTY is part of the RDS function and stands for "Program Type", a feature allows you to search for stations by type of category (i.e. country, classical, rock, news). When PTY is selected and you press the ENTER key, the current category is displayed. Pressing the SEEK button tunes the unit to the next station that broadcasts the chosen program type. Pressing the SCAN button searches the unit for all music categories. Not all radio stations broadcast the PTY signal.
The USA supports RDS at a lower level (station name and type only) while the vast majority of FM Stations throughout Europe and Britain feature Dynamic RDS, a more advanced system that includes traffic announcements and other features. RDS data can also be used to transmit the current time and date, as set by the radio station. A clock on an RDS radio never has to be adjusted and will automatically set itself for daylight saving time.
How do I clean the screen?
System displays a "please wait" message after entering in a destination.

Will the RB4 fit in my DaimlerChrysler vehicle?
(List of applicable models coming soon)
The antenna is very small and mounts in different locations inside the dashboard depending on the vehicle. The antenna plugs into a special connector on the back of the RB4.
No. This proprietary software is devoted exclusively by Harmon for the sole purpose of navigation.
No, the RB4 is CD-based and will not play DVD discs of any type.
CD, most CD-R (recordable CDs) and most CD-RW (rewriteable CDs). MP3 is NOT supported.
Map and other data is continuously being updated and revised. Update discs include the latest mapping data, new and revised business listings, as well as additional screens and/or updated features.
No, it works through the vehicle sound system. During voice commands the radio is automatically muted. The volume for the voice commands can be raised or lowered independent of the radio volume, but only during a voice command.
RDS stands for "Radio Data System", a service provided by FM Radio Stations. In addition to the conventional music and voice contribution, information is transmitted in the form of encoded digital signals that are decoded by any RDS compatible car radio (or home radio to a limited degree). A radio station must have the appropriate hardware and software installed to support RDS.
The screen should be cleaned with a soft dry cloth. A high-quality camera lens cloth works best for this, available at any camera store. No liquids should ever be used to clean the screen.
Inspect the GPS antenna. The GPS antenna may have been pinched between the dash and cowl during assembly. This will inhibit the radio from receiving the GPS satelite signal. Please inspect the GPS antenna if this issue is occurring.
NOTE: Additional FAQ's relating to the operation and features of the Navigation Radio can be found in the RB4 owner's manual.
Warning: Please read and follow the following safety precautions before operating the RB1, RB3 or RB4 Navigation Radios. Failure to do so may result in injury or property damage.
