      Radio and display receiver assembly

      • Receives the video signals which contain an image of the area behind the vehicle taken with the rear television camera assembly.

      • Performs control of the system by receiving a shift position signal from the ECM.

      • Displays the rear view monitor image on the display panel.
      ECM Transmits a reverse signal to the radio and display receiver assembly via the CAN communication line.
