MULTI AV SYSTEM : System Description

Multi AV system means that the following systems are integrated.






COMMUNICATION SIGNAL

- AV control unit function by transmitting/receiving data 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, unified meter and A/C amp. It computes and displays fuel economy information value with the obtained information.
- AV control unit is connected with display and serial communication, and it transmits the required signal of display and display control and receives the response signal from display.

AUDIO FUNCTION

The audio system is equipped with the following functions. Each function is operated with multifunction switch, preset switch, steering switch. Operation status of audio is indicated at display.





Operating Signal
Audio system operation can be performed with multifunction switch, preset switch or steering switch.
- Operating signal is transmitted to AV control unit with AV communication when it is operated by multifunction switch or preset switch. The disk ejection operating signal is performed by hardwire.
- Operating signal is transmitted to AV control unit with steering switch signal when it is operated by steering switch.
Screen Display
- Switching of display is performed with serial communication between display unit and AV control unit.
- The image signal to display operating condition is performed with RGB image signal, RGB area signal and
RGB image synchronizing signal.
AM/FM Radio Mode
- AM/FM radio tuner is built into AV control unit.
- Audio signal is received by rod antenna, next it is amplified by antenna amp., and finally it is input to AV control unit. Audio signal is input to BOSE amp., and BOSE amp. outputs to each speaker.
Satellite Radio Mode
- Satellite radio tuner is controlled by communication signal and request signal with AV control unit.
- Sound signal (satellite radio) is received by satellite antenna and transmitted to AV control unit. AV control unit is output the sound signal (satellite radio) to each speaker.
CD Mode
- CD function is built into AV control unit.
- AV control unit outputs audio signal to BOSE amp., and BOSE amp. outputs to each speaker when CD is inserted to AV control unit.
Music Box Mode
- Music CD data is stored on flash memory that is built into AV control unit, and it can be played.
- AV control unit outputs music (sound signal) that is stored on flash memory to BOSE amp., and BOSE amp.
outputs to each speaker.
USB Connection Function
- iPod or music files in USB memory can be played.
- iPod sound signals are transmitted from USB connector to the AV control unit and to each speaker.
- iPod � is recharged when connected to USB connector.
iPod� is a trademark of Apple inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
NOTE:
Use the enclosed USB harness when connecting iPod� to USB connector.
AudioPilot(tm)
AudioPilot(tm) is a sound improving system that picks up by a microphone in a driver headrest any noises or the sound of music coming into the vehicle, and that uses the BOSE amp. to revise the frequency feature of music in real time in response to the frequency feature of the noise while driving and listening to music.
- If the low frequency area noise from the vehicle is loud, it adjusts the low frequency element of music to be larger than the vehicle noise.
- If the high frequency area noise from the vehicle is loud, it adjusts the high frequency element of music to be larger than the vehicle noise.
- If the vehicle noise is smaller than the setting volume, correction is not performed. This eliminates the vehicle noise when listening to music.
Sound Equalizer Automatic Switching Function
Sound quality in a fully-open retractable hard top condition is improved by the correction for bringing the frequency characteristics in a fully-open retractable hard top condition closer to the characteristics in a fully closed retractable hard top condition. When the retractable hard top is in a fully-open condition, sound pressure is reduced due to the absence of sound echo generated by sound reflection from the retractable hard top.
BOSE amp. detects an open-close condition of the retractable hard top by receiving a roof status signal from the retractable hard top control unit and switches the equalizer to correct the frequency characteristics in a fully-open retractable hard top condition. During the switching of the equalizer, audio stops temporarily due to the temporary mute.

HANDS-FREE PHONE SYSTEM

- TEL adapter unit is controlled with AV communication from AV control unit.
- The connection between cellular phone and TEL adapter unit is performed with Bluetooth(tm) communication.
- The voice guidance signal is input from the TEL adapter unit to the AV control unit and output via BOSE
amp. to the front speaker when operating the cellular phone.
- System operation is available only when the retractable hard top is closed.
- TEL adapter unit has the on board self-diagnosis function. Bose Audio.
When A Call Is Originated
- Spoken voice sound output from the microphone (microphone signal) is input to TEL adapter unit.
- TEL adapter unit outputs to cellular phone with Bluetooth(tm) communication as a TEL voice signal.
- Voice sound is then heard at the other party.
When Receiving A Call
- Voice sound is input to own cellular phone from the other party.
- TEL voice signal is input to TEL adapter unit by establishing Bluetooth(tm) communication from cellular phone, and the signal is output via BOSE amp. to front speaker.

REAR VIEW MONITOR FUNCTION

- The AV control unit supplies power to the rear view camera when receiving a reverse signal.
- The rear view camera transmits camera images to the AV control unit when power is supplied from the AV
control unit.
- The AV control unit transmits a warning message, fixed guide lines, and predictive course lines to the display unit by RGB image signal. Rear view monitor images are displayed by combining the RGB image signal and the camera image signals from the rear view camera.
- Predictive course lines are controlled by a steering angle sensor signal received the AV control unit via CAN
communication.

SONAR SYSTEM

For further information about the sonar system, System Description.

VEHICLE INFORMATION FUNCTION

- Status of audio, climate control system, fuel economy and maintenance are displayed.
- AV control unit displays the fuel consumption status while receiving data signal through CAN communication from ECM, unified meter and A/C amp.
- AV control unit is connected to BCM via CAN communication transmitting/receiving for the vehicle settings function.
