2007 Buick Terraza Entertainment options

Buick Terraza is offered with a wide choice of passenger entertainment features, which can be a welcome addition on long trips while giving owners the ability to interface between the vehicle and one's home computer or audio/video systems.

The vehicle is available with a rear-seat DVD player with flip-down screen and integrated controls. The DVD unit also provides auxiliary video and audio inputs for video games and camcorders, enabling an "instant replay" of a child's baseball game, for example.

XM Satellite Radio also is available. With a wide variety of programming, XM has something to excite any driver. Whether you want to be entertained or informed, to laugh, think or sing, XM has the perfect channel for you - coast-to-coast, and in digital-quality sound.

A "tri-mode" entertainment system lets occupants listen to as many as three separate entertainment sources simultaneously - DVD, CD and radio - through the speakers and dual-channel wireless headphones.

Mobile Digital Media Powered by PhatNoise is also available. PhatNoise is a wallet-sized, 40-gigabyte hard drive that installs in the Terraza's overhead rail system. The system's capabilities include:

- Storing and playing back up to 10,000 songs in MP3, WMA or WAV formats
- Storing and playing up to 40 movies in MPEG format (standard format for movies)
- Storing and playing a combination of songs and movies
- The ability to provide the software for playing classic video games
- A voice-browsing interface - if the driver wants to listen to music, the system tells him or her over the radio speakers the song's name, allowing the driver to run through a list of stored music using steering wheel buttons
- Listening to books, magazine or newspaper articles recorded on a PC
- Allowing simultaneous listening to two entertainment sources
- Transferring digital camera pictures through a USB port in the PhatNoise cartridge and playing them back on the DVD screen


The PhatNoise system's hard drive cartridge is easily removable, so it can be connected to a home PC or laptop to download computer files for playback in Buick Terraza, giving passengers an unprecedented level of entertainment customization.

*Horsepower and torque SAE certified. A new voluntary power and torque certification procedure developed by the SAE Engine Test Code committee was approved March 31, 2005 . This procedure (J2723) ensures fair, accurate ratings for horsepower and torque by allowing manufacturers to certify their engines through third-party witness testing. GM was the first automaker to begin using this procedure and expects to use it for all newly rated engines in the future .
