CON: Rear-compartment controller

In vehicles with rear seat entertainment system, a rear-compartment controller is connected on the K-CAN. The rear-compartment controller is identical to the front controller.

In the rear passenger compartment, there are 2 folding rear monitors, each with 800 x 480 pixel resolution as well as an infrared transmitter unit (SA6FG or SA6FH). The rear monitors are integrated in the backrests of the front seats. On both versions, the control unit (RSE) is integrated for the first time in the MOST bus. The Car Information Computer (CIC) serves as the master control unit for the MOST bus.

The rear monitors are also connected on the K-CAN.
