The Touch Screen Display (TSD) is located in the center of the instrument panel. TSD is a touch sensitive 7 inch LCD (liquid crystal display) VGA screen containing 800 x 480 pixels in a 15:9 format. The TSD is connected to the Information and Entertainment system on the Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) ring. The MOST ring is a fibre optic communications data bus that allows high speed transfer of control instructions and audio around the system.

The TSD processes its own video for system operation but receives the navigation graphics from the navigation computer on a dedicated serial link called GVIF (Gigabit Video Interface).

The TSD is also the control interface for the following vehicle systems:

Climate control
Audio system
Heated seats
Customer programmable security features
Cellular phone
Vehicle settings

The TSD navigation control signals are sent on the MOST ring to the navigation computer,
