Cockpit management and data system (COMAND), networking of components - GF82.85-P-0003-10SXU
MODEL 216.3, 221.0 /1 with CODE (494) USA version up to Model Year 8
Control unit networking
Shown on model 221 up to 31.8.06 with code (536) SIRIUS satellite radio
Networking and information flow of the multifunction steering wheel (MFL)
The following components of the MFL relevant for the COMAND system are read in by the steering column module via the steering LIN:
- Scroll forward/back button (S110s1)
- System select button (S110s3)
- "Back" and VCS [SBS] off button (S110s4)
- OK button (S110s6)
- Buttons + and - for setting specific functions and volume control (S111s1)
- Accept/terminate phone call button (S111s3)
- VCS on button (S111s4)
- Mute button (S111s6)
The subsequent information flow of the MFL is as follows:
- The steering column module places the signals from the MFL on the chassis CAN.
- The central gateway control unit reads in the signals and places them on the central CAN.
- The instrument cluster reads in the signals from the central CAN, links them with the particular system shown in the multifunction display (A1p13), and places the corresponding signals (control commands for the COMAND system) on the central CAN.
- The COMAND controller unit reads in the signals from the central CAN and processes them.
Networking and information flow of the front central operating unit
The following components relevant for the COMAND system are read discretely in by the front central operating unit:
- Volume control (A40/9r1)
- Disc/radio quick select button (A40/9s1)
- "Back" button (A40/9s2)
- Telephone/navigation quick select button (A40/9s5)
- Button "ON" (A40/9s6)
- Mute button (A40/9s7)
- Freely programmable button (A40/9s10)
- Turn/push control (A40/9s11)
The subsequent information flow of the front central operating unit is as follows:
- The front central operating unit places the signals on the telematics CAN.
- The COMAND controller unit reads in the signals from the telematics CAN and processes them.
