Shown on model 221 

Location 

The SPLITVIEW display is located centrally in the instrument panel.

Task 

The SPLITVIEW display serves the uniform presentation of user-relevant operating and information windows as well as the presentation of video picture information.

Moreover, the SPLITVIEW display makes possible the presentation of two different views at the same time. This function enables the driver and front passenger to access video picture information or vehicle system information at the same time and independently of each other (dual viewing mode). The SPLITVIEW display is equipped with an infrared transmitter/receiver which makes it possible to actuate infrared headphones. The SPLITVIEW display for the front passenger is operated via a remote control. A uniform picture can be output via a mono output mode.

Caused by the design of the SPLITVIEW display the visual range of the driver (1) and visual range of the front passenger (2) is defined in a fixed manner, an insufficient picture quality is possible in the section area (3) of the visual ranges.

In order to prevent the SPLITVIEW display from overheating it is air-cooled by an internal blower motor. The temperature of the SPLITVIEW display is kept below T = 85 °C during operation. The temperature of the SPLITVIEW display is kept below T = 95 °C when the vehicle is at a standstill. Cooling is controlled internally.

In addition the SPLITVIEW display has the following tasks:

• Reading in of signals 

Reading in of signals 

Signals are read in via the following connections:

• Telematics CAN (CAN A) 
• Low Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS) line 

Telematics CAN 

The SPLITVIEW display is a subscriber on the telematics CAN. The signals are read in by the SPLITVIEW display.

The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

LVDS line 

The SPLITVIEW display receives all the information for presenting the corresponding contents from the COMAND controller unit (A40/3) via the low voltage differential signaling line.

Body 

The SPLITVIEW display is an 8 -Thin Film Transistor (TFT) color SPLITVIEW display in a 16:9 format with a resolution of 800 480 pixels. In order to prevent damage to the SPLITVIEW display it is protected by a tinted acrylic glass lens.

It is not possible to swivel the SPLITVIEW display.

Variants 

• Left-hand drive vehicle
• Right-hand drive vehicle

The code (867) SPLITVIEW can be deactivated for vehicles with code (494) USA version ex-factory, because the function is not yet permitted in every region by various legislators. It can be activated however, when legal, by the dealer.
