Front Display Interface Module (FDIM)

For vehicles without navigation, the Front Display Interface Module (FDIM) is a stand-alone module. It receives messages for all of its displays, which include:

For vehicles with navigation, the FDIM is hardwired to the ACM. When the touchscreen is pressed, a signal is sent to the ACM, which acts on the signal either by changing the audio setting or by broadcasting a message via the MS-CAN to the module controlling the function that was selected. The audio system, navigation, and climate control video feed to the FDIM is provided by the ACM. If equipped with a rear view camera, the video feed for the camera is provided directly by the rear view camera.
