Task
The Audio/COMAND display serves the uniform presentation of user-relevant operating and information windows as well as the presentation of video picture information.
Moreover, the Audio/COMAND 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 from one another (dual viewing mode).
The operation of the Audio/COMAND display for the front passenger occurs using a remote control (the signals are read in by the COMAND controller unit (A40/3)). A uniform picture can be output via a mono output mode. Due to the design of the Audio/COMAND display, the visual range of the driver (1) and visual range of the front passenger (2) are defined in a fixed manner and an insufficient picture quality is possible in the overlap area (3) of the visual ranges.
In order to prevent overheating of the Audio/COMAND display, it is cooled by an internal blower motor. Cooling is controlled internally in the Audio/COMAND display. The temperature of the Audio/COMAND display is kept below 85 °C during operation and below 95 °C with the vehicle at a standstill.
