Rear display and infrared transmitter

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5, 2012 BMW X5, and 2011 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The rear display serves as the display unit for the RSE control module. The picture signals are transferred across an LVDS data line from the RSE control module to the rear display.

A photo diode is installed in the rear display for automatic brightness control.

A micro-switch is installed in the hinge of the rear display.

If the rear display is turned clockwise beyond a certain angle when folded out and during operation, the micro-switch switches the rear display off.

The RSE control module is not switched off. This means that audio output is still possible.

When the rear display is turned again counterclockwise, the micro-switch switches the rear display on again (precondition: no terminal 15 OFF or shutdown of the rear seat entertainment system via the operating buttons in the meantime).

The infrared transmitter for the infrared transfer to the headphones is also built into the rear display.

The infrared transmitter is supplied with voltage by the RSE control module. When the RSE control module is switched on for the first time after terminal 30g ON, the diodes light up. The diodes remain lit up until the RSE control module is switched on or can be switched on. After terminal R Off, the RSE control module can be switched on within the after-run time (approx. 30 minutes).
