Component Description

Part name Description
AV control unit
  • It is the master unit of the MULTI AV system, and it is connected to each control unit by communication. It operates each system according to communication signals from the AV control unit.
  • The AV control unit includes the audio, USB connection and vehicle status functions.
  • It is connected to each control unit via CAN communication to obtain necessary information for the vehicle information function.
  • It is receives a steering angle signal from the steering angle sensor via CAN communication and controls an expected course line during rear view monitor operation.
  • It inputs the illumination signals that are required for the display dimming control.
  • It inputs the signals for driving status recognition (vehicle speed, reverse and parking brake).
  • TEL voice signal and voice guidance signal are input from TEL adapter unit.
  • Camera image signal is received and transmitted to display unit.
Display unit
  • Display image is controlled by the serial communication from AV control unit.
  • It receives the power (signal VCC and inverter VCC) from the AV control unit and operates.
  • RGB image signal is input from AV control unit (RGB image, RGB area and RGB synchronizing).
  • Composite image signals are input from AV control unit.
  • Synchronizing signal (HP, VP) is output to AV control unit.
Active noise control unit
  • Generates an antiphase sound weakening interior engine booming noise, mixes the antiphase sound with a sound signal transmitted from the AV control unit, and transmits the mixed sound signal to each speaker.
  • Input microphone signal from front/rear microphone (for active noise control system).
Front door speaker
  • Outputs sound signal from active noise control unit.
  • Outputs high, mid and low range sounds.
Front door squawker
  • Outputs sound signal from active noise control unit.
  • Outputs high and mid range sounds.
Rear door speaker
  • Outputs sound signal from active noise control unit.
  • Outputs high, mid and low range sounds.
Front microphone (for active noise control system) Detects interior engine booming noise and transmits a sound signal picked up by the front microphone to the active noise control unit.
Rear microphone (for active noise control system) Detects interior engine booming noise and transmits a sound signal picked up by the rear microphone to the active noise control unit.
Multifunction switch
  • Operation panel is equipped with the centralized switch where audio and air conditioner, etc. operations are integrated.
  • Connected with preset switch via cable, and operation signal is transmitted to AV control unit via AV communication.
  • The disk ejection operating signal is performed by hardwire.
Preset switch
  • Operation panel is equipped with the centralized switch where audio operations are integrated.
  • Connected with multifunction switch via cable, and operation signal is transmitted to AV control unit via AV communication.
Rear view camera
  • Camera power supply is input from AV control unit.
  • The image of vehicle rear view is transmitted to display unit via AV control unit.
Steering angle sensor It is connected to the AV control unit and transmits the steering angle sensor signal via CAN communication.
Steering switch
  • Operations for audio, hands-free phone and voice recognition etc. are possible.
  • Steering switch signal (operation signal) is output to AV control unit.
Microphone (for TEL)
  • Used for hands-free phone and voice recognition operation.
  • Microphone signal is transmitted to TEL adapter unit.
  • Power (Microphone VCC) is supplied from TEL adapter unit.
Antenna amp.
  • Radio signal received by window antenna is amplified and transmitted to AV control unit.
  • Power (antenna amp. ON signal) is supplied from AV control unit.
Satellite radio tuner
  • Inputs the satellite radio signal from satellite radio antenna and outputs the sound signal to the AV control unit.
  • It is controlled with the AV control unit and serial communication (communication signal and request signal).
Satellite radio antenna Satellite radio signal is received and transmitted to satellite radio tuner.
TEL adapter unit
  • Inputs the TEL voice signal from TEL antenna and outputs it to the AV control unit.
  • It is connected with the AV control unit via AV communication and controlled with the AV control unit.
TEL antenna Receives the TEL voice signal and outputs it to the TEL adapter unit.
USB connector Sound signal of USB input is transmitted to AV control unit.
