MULTI AV SYSTEM : System Description
INFOID:0000000006216216
Multi AV system means that the following systems are integrated.
COMMUNICATION SIGNAL
 AV control unit function by transmitting/receiving dat a one by one with each unit (slave unit) that configures
them completely as a master unit by connecting between units that configure MULTI AV system with two AV
communication lines (H, L).
 Two AV communication lines (H, L) adopt a twisted pair line that is resistant to noise.
 AV control unit is connected by CAN communication, and it receives data signal from ECM and combination
meter It computes and displays fuel economy information value with the obtained information. Transmitting/
receiving of data signal is performed by BCM. Also, it transmits the required signal of vehicle setting and
receives the response signal.
 AV control unit is connected with front display unit and serial communication, and it transmits the required
signal of display and display control and receives the response signal from front display unit.
NAVIGATION SYSTEM FUNCTION
Description
 The AV control unit controls navigation function whil e GPS tuner has built-in map data, GYRO (angle speed
sensor), on the HDD (Hard Disk Drive).
 The AV control unit inputs operation signal with communication signal, through display (touch panel) and multifunction switch and steering switch.
 Guide sound is output to front speaker through BOSE am p. from AV control unit when operating navigation
system.
 A vehicle position is calculated with the GYRO (angl e speed sensor), vehicle sensor, signal from GPS satel-
lite and map data stored on HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and transmits the map image signal (RGB image, RGB
area, RGB image synchronizing) to the display.
Position Detection Principle
The navigation system periodically calculates the current vehicle
position according to the following three types of signals.
 Travel distance of the vehicle as determined by the vehicle speed
sensor
 Vehicle turning angle determined by the gyroscope (angular speed
sensor)
 The travel direction of the v ehicle determined by the GPS antenna
(GPS information)
The current position of the vehicle is then identified by comparing the
calculated vehicle position with map data, which is stored in the HDD
(Hard Disk Drive) (map-matching), and indicated on the screen with
a current location mark. More accurate data is used by comparing
position detection results from GPS to the map-matching.

Sonar Buzzer Operation
 Each sonar sensor transmits a sensor signal to the sonar control unit when detecting an obstacle.
 The sonar control unit converts a signal received from each sonar sensor into distance and transmits detec-
tion distance signal to the AV control unit via AV communication.
 The AV control unit transmits a buzzer signal to t he BOSE amp. corresponding to each sonar sensor based
on the received signal.
 When receiving a buzzer signal, the BOSE amp. trans mits the buzzer signal to the each speaker. When
each speaker receives a buzzer signal, a buzzer sounds.
 When the front corner sensor detects an obstacle, a buzzer is heard from the speakers on the front side.
 When the rear corner sensor detects an obstacle, a buzzer is heard from the speakers on the rear side.
 It changes the buzzer cycle in 3 stages according to the detection distance.
Sonar buzzer cycle
VEHICLE INFORMATION FUNCTION
 Status of audio, climate control system, fuel economy, maintenance and navigation are displayed.
 AV control unit displays the fuel consumption status while receiving data signal through CAN communication from ECM and combination meter.
 AV control unit is connected to BCM via CAN communica tion transmitting/receiving for the vehicle settings
function.

When the light switch is in the 1st or 2nd position, the dimming of the display is judged according to a dimming
signal transmitted from BCM to the AV control unit. Dis play illuminance is independent of vehicle exterior illu-
minance detected by the auto light detecting sensor ev en when the light switch is in 1st or 2nd position.
