CAN-network (Controller Area Network): Configuration

Instructions for the following are downloaded when a system is configured:

Which control modules are included in the system (for example central electronic module, and others.)
Which control module should do what (for example "you are the control module for the passenger door - you are the control module for the driver's door")
Which functions should be included (for example if the alarm function should be on or off)
Which components are connected to the control modules (for example whether the inclination sensor is included in the alarm or not)
Which messages a control module is to transmit and which it is to receive
Where the different data should be stored.

The configuration must be adapted after installation of accessories and must be downloaded again after any control module is replaced. The configuration is adapted and downloaded via VIDA.

NOTE:

Even if two cars appear identical, they may behave differently because of differing configurations, a parameter may have been modified by, e. g., the customer or workshop.
