Operation signal reception from center display

When the center display is operated, the center display detects (1) the touch position.
The center display sends (2) a touch position signal (LVDS^*10 signal) to the CMU based on the detected touch position.
The CMU sends (3) the control signal to the related units based on the received touch position signal.

^*10: The LVDS displays the electrical properties of the signal using low-voltage differential signaling. LVDS is a digital, wired transmission technology for the short range which adopts a differential interface having the characteristics of low voltage and low power consumption.

Operation signal reception from commander switch

When the commander switch is operated, the CMU detects (1) the commander switch operation.
The CMU sends (2) the display signal (LVDS signal) to the center display based on the detected commander switch operation. In addition, it sends (2) a control signal to the related units.

Operation signal reception from voice recognition function

When the talk button on the steering switch is pressed, the CMU detects (1) the steering switch operation.
When the CMU detects the steering switch operation, it sends (2) a guidance audio signal to the tuner and amplifier unit (TAU).
The TAU sends (3) the guidance audio signal to the speakers and the speakers output (3) the guidance audio.
The voice recognition-use microphone converts the words (voice commands) produced by the user after the guidance audio output to an audio signal and sends it to the CMU.
The CMU sends (5) the control signal to the related parts based on the audio signal received from the voice recognition microphone.
