Functional networking

The video module (VM) is connected to the vehicle electrical system and the MOST via a 12-pin plug connection with a MOST interface. The video module transmits the picture signals via CVBS lines to the connected devices (e.g. head unit and Rear Seat Entertainment). The rear power distribution box supplies the video module with terminal 30B.
