Navigation (if equipped)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The APIM receives GPS data from the satellite and GPS antenna via the splitter and coaxial cable. The GPS data is used for the compass, vehicle location (in the event of airbag deployment) and navigation guidance. The APIM uses the GPS data along with ABS module wheel speed and rotation direction to provide accurate navigation tracking. In situations where the GPS signal is temporarily lost, the APIM continues to use the ABS module and vehicle acceleration data to continue vehicle tracking.
The navigation map data is stored in the APIM. The APIM processes the data and transmits it through the LVDS cable to display on the touchscreen FDIM.
