Function and operating logic of the MINI joystick
The signals from the buttons are read in by the MINI joystick. The joystick transforms the signals into messages on the K-CAN. The messages are processed by the headunit. The CID receives the signals for display on the LVDS data line (Low Voltage Differential Signalling). The LVDS data line involves technology that reliably transfers graphical data over a longer distance.
