Component DescriptionEKS00M7G
NAVI CONTROL UNIT
The gyro (angular speed sensor) and the DVD-ROM drive are
built-in units that control the navigation functions.
Signals are received from the gyro, the vehicle speed sensor,
and the GPS antenna. Vehicle location is determined by com-
bining this data with the data contained in the DVD-ROM map.
Location information is shown on liquid crystal display panel.
DVD-ROM Drive
Maps, traffic control regulations, and other pertinent information can
be easily read from the DVD-ROM disc.
Map DVD-ROM
The map DVD-ROM has maps, traffic control regulations, and other pertinent information.
To improve DVD-ROM map matching and route determination functions, the DVD-ROM uses an exclusive
Nissan format. Therefore, the use of a DVD-ROM provided by other manufacturers cannot be used.
Gyro (Angular Speed Sensor)
The oscillator gyro sensor is used to detect changes in vehicle steering angle.
The gyro is built into the navigation (NAVI) control unit.
GPS ANTENNA
The GPS antenna receives and amplifies the radio waves from the GPS satellites, and then transmits the GPS
signal to NAVI control unit.

switch, display and transfer unit to the communication signal
between transfer unit and NAVI control unit.
Transfer unit outputs ON signal and voice guidance signal to
voice change relay.
VOICE CHANGE RELAY
Voice change relay converses the voice signal transmitted from audio unit and the voice guidance signal
transmitted from NAVI control unit through transfer unit. And voice change relay outputs the voice signal and
the voice guidance signal to driver-side speaker.
TMC TUNER
TMC tuner connects to NAVI control unit with a communication line.
TMC tuner transmits traffic message channel information to NAVI
control unit, and indicates the traffic message channel information on
the display. Also TMC tuner receives the receivable channel list from
