Task 

The windshield reading system control unit is the master control unit of the car2go system with code P02 (car2go) and the rental system with code 54P (Line package rental model). It is used for radio communication (Global System Mobile (GSM)) for transmitting customer authorization, rental and billing data to the car2go or rental company head office. It reads in the authorization data of the customer card outside the vehicle during the rental process by means of Near Field Communication (NFC). The output of information to the customer outside the vehicle during the rental process takes place via the integrated display on the windshield or via the car2go app on the customer's smartphone. The windshield reader system control unit is at the same time the interface for the card reader (A50/5) in the vehicle. The windshield reader system control unit is also used for exchanging audio support communication between the customer and the car2go or rental company head office, and is therefore the interface to the smart Radio Multimedia Navigator (A40/3 and its hands-free system. The windshield reader system control unit tasks are broken down as follows:

Reading in of sensors and signals 

The input factors are read in via the following connections:

Global Positioning System (GPS) 

The following signals are read in using GPS:

Near Field Communication (NFC) 

The following signals are read in via NFC:

Global System Mobile (GSM) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS) 

The following signals are read in via GSM or UMTS

Direct line 

The signals from the following sensors are read in via direct lines:

car2go LIN 

The following signals are read in via car2go LIN:

Telematics CAN 

The following signals are read in via the telematics CAN, for example:

Evaluation of input factors 

The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor of the windshield reader system control unit and the relevant component parts are then actuated.

Component actuation and signal transmission 

Component actuation and signal transmission take place via the following connections:

GSM and UMTS 

The following signals are transmitted via GSM/UMTS, for example:

Direct line 

The following components are actuated via direct lines:

Telematics CAN 

The following signals are transmitted via the telematics CAN to the telematics services communications module and from there to other control units, for example:

car2go LIN 

The following signals are transmitted via the car2go LIN to the card reader (with key holder), for example:
