Location 

The reversing camera control unit is located above the license plate number at the left in the handle strip of the trunk lid or liftgate.

Tasks 

The reversing camera control unit has the following tasks:

Recording area to the rear of the vehicle 

The reversing camera control unit is an optical parking aid. Its tasks include a surrounding field recording of the rear area, the generation of dynamic guide lines and the sending of the video picture to the head unit (A26/17). The pictures recorded by the reversing camera are processed accordingly and electronically corrected for distortion by the integrated control unit to be shown in the Audio/COMMAND display (A40/8). The reversing camera is supplied with power by the rear SAM control unit (N10/8).

The reversing camera is automatically calibrated by the integrated control unit.

Reading in of signals 

The reversing camera control unit reads in, among other things, the following information via the user interface CAN (CAN HMI):

The functions that use these signals are described in the individual function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

Evaluation of input factors 

The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor whereupon the relevant signals are then issued.

Output of signals 

The signals are issued through the following connections:

Direct line 

The reversing camera control unit sends the image data via a HSVL line (High-Speed Video Link) to the head unit.

User interface CAN 

The reversing camera control unit sends, among other things, the following signals via the user interface CAN:

The functions that use these signals are described in the individual function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

Structure 

The reversing camera control unit is a color picture camera with a wide-angle lens (angle of vision > 130°) and integrated control unit.
