Caution Note

Since the introduction of the first infotainment systems, electronics has evolved at a prodigious rate. More and more vehicle systems are electronically

connected to each other, enabling the realization of new information functions and driving aids. Moreover, the media offering informational content and

commercial to leisure have developed and offer an ever-increasing amount of information and services. The user wants to access these services using

the vehicle's electronic equipment naturally from this development. As an interface between these sources and external data such as Internet on the

one hand, and the systems and the occupants of the second vehicle, The infotainment system is of increasing importance. To accomplish this task, it

must have efficient data bus systems that allow different systems to exchange the necessary information. The intuitive user guidance in the system

control, as it has been democratized by smart phones (smartphones), is another development potential of the infotainment system.

Introduction

The development of the infotainment system

The concept infotainment emerged during the development of the first

Phaeton. The basic concept then was to control various multimedia

functions such as integrated radio and navigation system, the telephone

connection or displaying vehicle data, from a control unit and central

display.

Since then, this concept has been democratized. This means

that there are systems

infotainment not only on the Phaeton and the Passat, but also on all

Volkswagen platforms - including of course the Golf

2013.

The first infotainment system on the Phaeton

s518_014

Since the launch of the Phaeton, automotive electronics, including

information and driver assistance systems, has had an impressive

evolution. •evolution. •

The multiplexing of various vehicle functions and systems has grown

strongly through the various data bus systems.

This larger multiplexing helped turn the emergence of new driver

assistance systems that combine the most varied vehicle functions. •assistance systems that combine the most varied vehicle functions. •

These functions provide the vehicle information to the driver as much

as they unload. This also has the ability to configure the functions of the

vehicle, as with the new option of selecting the driving profile. All these

new systems require an interface point to communicate with the driver. •new systems require an interface point to communicate with the driver. •

This interface point is the infotainment system touch screen. All

information converge on this element, where the driver can view

and manage them.

The modular infotainment platform MIB

The ideas underlying the MIB

The idea at the heart of this platform project is the development of a

single architecture for all car radios and navigation systems available,

with different functions they offer. In other words, the structural and

functional design of the infotainment system is the same on all versions.

With this approach, car radios and / or navigation systems can be

equipped with additional features from the manufacturer. And yet, to

express in a very simplified form, all devices speak the same language.

The aim was also to integrate new multimedia electronics items,

entertainment and private telecommunications in the architecture of the

platform, and offer this way a high usability for the end user. Thus it is

possible to receive and display the logo of the radio stations or

terminals that have, according to their version, an interface for

connecting a USB device, SD card or an iPod.

In addition, all devices feature a touch screen. This innovative user

interface, the driver can control the intuitive and safe way system even

while driving.

The touchscreen infotainment system

A touch screen has many advantages: •A touch screen has many advantages: •

for information on the screen, it is not necessary to look for a button on

the unit and press it, or to operate a rotary knob - just touch the screen

directly to select information in question. Additionally, touch screen

offers many more possibilities for functions and menu display, because

it can represent any soft key. The actual keys, physical, the terminal

can be reduced to a minimum.

One drawback: it was far exert finger pressure on the sensitive area of

the screen to perform such. the function corresponding to a key

displayed on the touch screen. This was due to the operating principle

on which this type of screen is based. Previously, this technology was

based on a resistive touchscreen layer design.

For more information on the operating mode of the resistive touchscreen and pressure sensitive, see Self-Study Programme 397

"integrated car radio and navigation systems 2007".

Design and operation of a capacitive touchscreen

Capacitive touch screens were previously mainly used on smart phones. These screens do not respond only to pressure, such as resistive touch

screens, but at the touch of a finger.

Design

The surface of a capacitive touch screen is composed of two

overlapping glass plates. These are coated with strips of a transparent

conductive metal oxide. The glass plates are arranged such that the

faces of topped coating are opposite to each other, and that the strips

form a grid. Nonconductive separators prevent the two surfaces from

touching.

Operation

Each grid intersection point functions as a capacitor, because the metal

oxide strips are positioned exactly opposite one another, in the same

manner as the plates of a capacitor. When applying a voltage to the two

surfaces, an electric field is formed between them. •surfaces, an electric field is formed between them. •

thus the intersection points have, as a capacitor, a capacitance

defined.

The bands that face each form a capacitor at each intersection

point.

Glass plate Electric

Field

s518_051

When the user touches the surface of the finger eg., Its electric field

affects the electric field at the intersection point where contact occurs,

and therefore the capacity. This causes a change in the voltage at the

ends of the coating tapes. The evaluation electronics determines, from

this variation, the contact point on the touch screen.

The finger contact influences the electric field points of intersection

through the glass plate.

s518_052Advantages

The electronics are able to detect multiple contacts at distinct locations.

It reacts faster. •It reacts faster. •

It is not necessary to calibrate the touch screen.

Touch screens do not react with a pencil, a thick glove or prosthesis.

The touch screen with approach sensor

From the terminal "Composition Media", the touch screen has an

approach sensor. When the sensor detects a hand approaches the

screen, virtual buttons on the screen are enlarged in order to be

selected more easily. If the button is not pressed, the screen returns to

the normal size display virtual keys after a short time.

Highlight buttons

s518_054

Design

Below the touch screen is a glossy black design bar. This bar contains

four infrared sensors. These are not autonomous electronics - they are

part of the "display unit for display and control unit calculator for

information, front J685". The sensors emit in a radius of about 15 cm a

weak infrared radiation. The detection zone is designed such that the

approach sensors operative to provide the driver for the front

passenger.

Operation

When a hand moves in the sensor bar detection area, the radiation

emitted by the sensors is reflected by the hand and returns to its

emission point. This return radiation is detected by the infrared

sensors. •sensors. •

The sensor bar then transmits a switching signal to the highlighted

virtual keys on the infotainment system screen.

Concept of multiplexing

MIB in the data bus system of the Golf 2013

The MIB is linked to the rest of the CAN data bus network via the

diagnostic interface J533 data bus. This connection allows the MIB to

exchange data with, eg., The CAN data bus rolling Trains (selection of

driving profile) or Extended CAN data bus for displaying and performing

different functions.

The MIB CAN data bus is a subnet Infotainment CAN data bus. At this

stage of development, it is responsible for the communication

between the control and display unit and the electronic information

processor (from version Composition Media).

LVDS

The LVDS acronym corresponds to the term Low Voltage Differential

Signalling (LVDS - differential signaling Low-voltage). This English term

describes an interface standard for the transmission of high speed data.

It evokes the fitness of the data for transmission; it is not a simple

communication protocol, eg. FTP File Transfer Protocol.

CVBS

When the vehicle is equipped with a backup camera, it is connected

to the infotainment system with a CVBS cable. •to the infotainment system with a CVBS cable. •

The CVBS acronym corresponds to the German term

"FarbBild-Austast-Timings-Signal."

F corresponds to "Farbsignal" (color signal). It contains the color F corresponds to "Farbsignal" (color signal). It contains the color

information; it is issued at the beginning of each line composing the

frame. The three basic screen colors (red, green, blue) are synthesized

into a signal.

B matches "Bildsignal" (image signal). The brightness of a point is B matches "Bildsignal" (image signal). The brightness of a point is

defined by a voltage value (= 100% white, black = 30%).

AT corresponds to "Austastsignal" (blanking signal). AT corresponds to "Austastsignal" (blanking signal).

This signal identifies the horizontal retrace and vertical retrace by a

voltage of 0 volt.

S corresponds to "Synchronization". This allows coordination between S corresponds to "Synchronization". This allows coordination between

the transmitter and the receiver. The synchronization signal is

transmitted during the blanking interval.

the auxiliary heating remote control and GPS tracking antenna

Antennas are integrated for their part in the type of roof antenna "shark

fin".

The structure of the antenna system has also been integrated into the

modular platform MQB transverse engine. The roof antenna is a

standard component of the MQB. The impedance converters are

specifically tailored to a specific vehicle and can only be used on that

vehicle.

The roof antenna is not connected with fixed cables, but has its own

connection jacks. These sockets are located directly on the foot of the

antenna.

The impedance converters operate with a

voltage

8.5 volts. If they are applies a higher voltage, this

voltage causes the destruction of the electronic

converters.

Example: Connecting the antennas on a vehicle infotainment Discover

Pro system on the German market. The version of the antenna system

can vary depending on the market and the vehicle equipment.

Digital radio reception

After the navigation and telephony, radio is the most used system

function

Infotainment. Again, the unit has entered the digital age. Besides the

music itself, the stations transmit eg. titles, interpreters, the artwork on

the cover of the albums, or the logo of the station.

The modular infotainment platform allows to operate and, depending on

the version of the terminal, display all the additional information (also

called meta-information or 'tags' [tags]). In addition to digital

broadcasting standard Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), the extended

standard DAB + and Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) are also

supported.

DAB can transmit the following information and data services:

- Text and images accompanying a music title (eg. Interpreter, title, album, etc.)

- Text and images accompanying a station (eg. Name of the station)

- Traffic Information TMC / TPEG (explanation of TMC / TPEG see glossary) •Traffic Information TMC / TPEG (explanation of TMC / TPEG see glossary) •

Selecting the driving profile

The basic concept of the selection of the driving profile

The new function of selecting the driving profile clearly illustrates the close link between the modular transverse engine platform MQB modular platform

and infotainment MIB. Performing this function requires an intense exchange of data between the MIB and engine management systems, management

of transmission, management of the axle or other systems (eg. Air conditioner, direction, etc. ).

The basic idea of selecting the driving profile is to allow the driver to

make a personal configuration of the vehicle. Some drivers enjoy a

good engine responsiveness to their requests for acceleration and

suspension rather firm. Others prefer to adopt economical driving or

attach more importance to a smooth and comfortable suspension.

Others may well wish their vehicle adopts a sporting behavior on short

trips but prefer to return to a comfortable ride on longer trips.

This is where the function of selecting the driving profile.

An individual driving pleasure thanks to the new selection of the driving

profile, with five profiles Comfort, Normal, Sport, Eco and Individual

Comfort

Sport

Normal

Individual

Eco

s518_049

The predefined driving profiles

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the driver can select the

following predefined profiles MIB via the terminal:

- Comfort

- Normal

- Sport

- Eco

- Individual

s518_013

27

Why does the selection of the driving profile appeals to so many vehicle functions?

It is necessary to take into account features such as fire management

assistance and assistance of direction because the various settings of

the axle lead to different behavior of the vehicle. Distance and mounting

regulator function reversible belt pretensioners are important because

the different engine settings and the gearbox (especially between Eco

and Sport profiles) require the inclusion of different speed ranges.

Fashion sporty driving, it can be expected at higher speeds. The

distance control (ACC) and the occupant protection systems must

reflect this. •reflect this. •

Similarly, it is important to consider the air conditioning and engine

management systems and transmission when it comes to adopt a

fuel-efficient driving.

s518_056

28


The activation and selection of a driving profile

Activating the function of selecting the driving profile is performed using

the control module for selection of the E592 driving profile. On Golf

2013, it is the first key in the command bar, to the left of the selector

lever. It is connected to the system via the J519 board network

calculator.

When the function is off, the vehicle configuration corresponds to its

state at the factory gate (driving profile Normal) and the E592 control

module is not illuminated. When the driver selects another driving

profile, the control module illuminates to give him confirmation. The

master computer driving profile features is the diagnostic interface J533

data bus.

s518_022

When the function is activated via the control module, the screen of

the controller and the infotainment system display switches to the

display "Driving Mode Selection" (selection of the driving profile).

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the touch screen displays up to

five buttons for selecting the desired profile.

When the driver presses one of the buttons shown on the screen,

the profile is selected and the setting of the vehicle adapted

accordingly.

s518_714

29

When selecting the Individual Profile, a new window appears in which

the functions:

- DCC (adaptive suspension)

- Direction

- Engine

- ACC (remote controller) and

- directional lights can be set individually. The current setting is

displayed on the same line to the right of the function. A drop-down

menu to select a value for each function.

s518_719

The current driving profile is shown in the status bar of the infotainment

system screen, the upper left side. The selected driving profile is

associated with the current key profile. In the absence of a key profile,

the infotainment system uses the settings in effect on the last trip.

Driving profile remains active until the driver changes the key or

another with a different key profile is used.
