The Central Information Display is connected by an LVDS data line (Low Voltage Differential Signalling) on the CHAMP. The LVDS data line involves technology that reliably transfers graphical data over a longer distance. For the LVDS data line, special plug connections have been developed.
The CID is also connected on the K-CAN (body CAN).
The CID contains a photo-transistor for brightness control of the LC display (depending on the surrounding brightness). The LC display is heated.
