The 8 inch 800 X 480 resolution, Touch Screen (TS) is located in the center of the instrument panel. The TS comprises an color, touch sensitive display, with a TS switchpack located on either side.

The rear of the TS has electrical connectors for power, ground, medium speed CAN comfort systems bus, Low Voltage Differential Signalling (LVDS) and Composite Video Baseband Signal (CVBS) video and MOST. The usage of the LVDS and CVBS connectors differs depending on the equipment level of the vehicle.

The TS switchpack comprises 8 switches. The function of the switches can differ dependant on the infotainment system installed in the vehicle.

The TS switchpack has a single 12 pin connector which provides electrical connections to and from the switches. The connector provides switch power supplies, switch illumination supplies and output from the switches via a resistive ladder. The outputs from the Parking Aid and Park Assist switches are passed to the Integrated Control Panel (ICP), where they are converted to medium speed CAN comfort systems signals. The CAN signals are passed from the ICP to the Integrated Audio Module (IAM).

Dual View Touch Screen (TS)

The dual-view TS enables the passenger and driver to view completely different images from their respective seating positions. This technology has provided a solution for the legal issues attached to viewing moving images whilst the vehicle is in motion. It is not possible for the driver to view moving images with an active speed signal, but the passenger can view DVD and TV independent of the driver.

Vehicles fitted with a dual view TS are supplied with a headphone transmitter located in the headliner and one pair of infra-red wireless headphones. This allows the front seat passenger to view and listen to music, DVD and TV without disturbing the driver.

NOTE:

Due to legislation the NAS markets do not receive this option. A single view display is available in these markets.

The dual-view TS uses Parallax Barrier Shutter Technology to alternately hide and reveal columns of pixels to the left and right hand views of the screen. The display comes with a specially designed agar coating to help prevent sunlight bleaching.

To access a TV or video image when the vehicle is in motion and single view is selected, the dual view switch on the TS switchpack should be pressed by either the driver or the passenger. This will then switch the TS to dual-view mode allowing the passenger to view TV or video, but not the driver. A second press of the switch will change the TS back to single view.

The driver's view is also event driven, for example, if reverse gear were to be selected, the rear view camera will be displayed automatically, overriding the currently displayed information.

Clock

The CJB contains the master clock functionality. Other vehicle infotainment system modules that require clock functionality use the time supplied from the CJB.

Midnight is shown as 12:00AM or 00:00 respectively. The default condition, if not specified, after power on or delivery, should default to 12:00PM or 00:00. Depending upon the market set, the clock will default to either 12 or 24 hour format.

The time is adjusted from the TS. Under conditions when any bus system could be asleep or shut down, the TS does not allow clock adjustments.

Four levels of AHU are available depending on market and vehicle specification:

The AHU receives a 12V fused power supply from the Battery Junction Box (BJB) and the Quiescent Current Control Module (QCCM).

The AHU uses APIX2 which is a new protocol for video output to the Touch Screen (TS). APIX2 is a high speed digital serial link capable of communicating up to 1 Gbit/second of digital video data. The serial link can support simultaneous video, audio and data transmission from the AHU and the TS.

INTEGRATED AUDIO MODULE (IAM) - INCONTROL TOUCH PLUS AUDIO SYSTEMS

The Integrated Audio Module (IAM) is located in the center of the instrument panel, below the TS. The IAM communicates with the Bluetooth mobile phone via the Bluetooth phone module which has an integral Bluetooth antenna and software for mobile phone functionality.

The IAM has the following features:

• Navigation 40GB Hard Disc Drive (HDD) (30GB used for Navigation)
• TMC/(VICS Japan only)
• Off Road Navigation
• 40GB HDD (10GB used for music storage) - virtual CD/DVD - allows the storage of up to 10 CDs to create a 'virtual' multi-changer
• Voice recognition
• DVD output to Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
• Wireless headphones.

The IAM contains the following functionality:

• AM/FM radio tuner with diversity
• HD Radio receiver (NAS only)
• CD/MP3 player (Single CD)
• Auxiliary audio/video is available via a portable audio interface panel. The panel allows for the connection of portable audio/video via 2 USB's, a 3.5mm jack plug and iPod connectivity.
• Bluetooth and audio streaming.

When the vehicle systems become active, the TS is woken up by CAN bus activity and subsequently wakes up the IAM via the MOST.

The IAM incorporates an Amplitude Modulation (AM)/Frequency Modulation (FM) tuner which allows for the storage of 3 banks of FM presets, FM1/2/3, containing 6 presets each and 3 banks of AM Presets, AM1/AM2/AMA, containing 6 presets each. The AMA bank gives the 6 strongest AM stations stored by an AM autostore. Pre-set stations are stored in the IAM memory. The radio tuner also incorporates the following radio functions:

• HD Radio (NAS only)
• AM Auto Store (AST)
• FM station list
• Presets
• Traffic announcements (TA) - Europe only
• RDS (radio data system) / (Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS) in NAS markets) functions:

• Station name
• Radio text
• PTY
• Traffic Announcements (TA) (Not NAS)
• AF switching (Not NAS)
• REG to lock to regional/local broadcast (Not NAS)
• Seek station
• Tune up/down.

When the optional Digital Radio Control Module (DRCM) is specified, the audio system is fitted with a separate digital radio tuner. This allows the reception of digital broadcast stations which can be received via the FM2/digital radio band III antenna located in the rear spoiler or via the digital radio band L antenna in the roof pod.

Calibration of the IAM using approved Land Rover diagnostic equipment enables updates to be downloaded as new technology becomes available or any fault concerns require software updates. If the IAM is replaced it must be configured as a new module using approved Land Rover diagnostic equipment.

CD PLAYER / DVD PLAYER

The CD player has the capability to play MP3 files. The MP3 discs follow a format of folders and files within the folder. It is also possible to place all the files in the root directory on the virtual CD.

When a CD error occurs, the IAM will alert the user by showing a message related to the error in the TS. This will be displayed while the CD audio mode is selected until the error is corrected. The CD related error does not affect other areas of the IAM and a different audio source can be selected.

The IAM has the ability to load audio files and 'rip' the music onto the internal hard drive, a 10GB partition is reserved to store music. It is possible to store up to 10 uncompressed albums onto the hard drive. Only CDDA files can be loaded into the virtual changer.

File compatibility for the single slot CD mechanism includes:

• CD audio
• MP3 - (MPEG Layer III)
• WMA - (Microsoft Windows Media Audio)
• WAV - (waveform)
• AAC - (Advanced Audio Coding. Apple iTunes - only through iPod interface).

NOTE:

The CD player may take a longer time to load an MP3 disc, if there are more tracks than on a normal CD. To minimise loading time, a rigid folder structure is recommended.

In the event of customer complaints relating to audio quality, file compression should be taken into consideration during diagnosis.

AUDIO AMPLIFIER MODULE (AAM)

Systems with an external Audio Amplifier Module (AAM) have the AAM located below the front left seat. The AAM is a secured with a bracket to the vehicle floorpan.

The audio systems have four AAM options, dependent on level of audio system fitted:

• 6 channel 190W AMM used on the InControl Touch - 10 speaker system
• 8 channel 250W AAM used on the InControl Touch - 11 speaker system
• 8 channel 250W AAM used on the InControl Touch Plus - 11 speaker system
• 15 channel 825W AAM used on the InControl Touch Plus with Meridian Surround - 17 speaker system.

InControl Touch 10 and 11 Speaker Systems

The InControl Touch 10 and 11 speaker systems both use an AAM specific to the system. The AAMs are similar in design, with the only difference being the power outputs; 190W or 250W.

Power supplies are received from the Rear Junction Box (RJB).

InControl Touch Plus Audio System

The 250W AAM is connected to the other audio system components on the MOST ring. The AAM processes incoming audio signals from other system modules on the MOST ring. Hardwired connectors provide outputs for the vehicle speakers, output to the headphone transmitter and power and ground. Power supplies are received from the RJB and the Quiescent Current Control Module (QCCM).
