Fixed Components: Fan

Unlike with CCC, it is not possible to replace the fan of the Car Information Computer separately as part of a service procedure.

The fan provides cooling for the entire hardware assembly, including the hard disk drive and the gateway processor (located directly below it). The exhaust air cools the cooling fins of the HiFi output stage in the power board as it is routed through a cooling channel out of the unit.
