DESCRIPTION

The air conditioning amplifier assembly uses the CAN communication line to send commands to the radio receiver assembly to display the functions controlled by the air conditioning amplifier assembly on the multi-display. When the radio receiver assembly receives these commands, it uses the GVIF cable to display on the multi-display.

When the windshield deicer switch on the air conditioning screen of the multi-display is turned to "ON" with the remote operation controller assembly (remote touch), operation information is sent to the radio receiver assembly using the local bus communication line and the windshield deicer switch operation information is sent from the radio receiver assembly to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via CAN communication. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives windshield deicer switch operation information, it turns the front wiper deicer relay (DEICER) on and operates the windshield deicer system.
