Most Network
The MOST network can consist of up to nine different control modules.
The infotainment control module (ICM) deals with monitoring and communication on the MOST network. The infotainment control module (ICM) is in turn monitored by the central electronic module (CEM) on the CAN network.
The vehicle is always equipped with an Infotainment control module (ICM) and Integrated Audio Module (IAM).
In addition to these two, one or more control modules is/are connected to the MOST loop to obtain the desired functions in the vehicle.
The table below lists all the control modules which may be included in the MOST network.
Explanation:
CAN = Controller Area Network, electrical network for communication.
LS CAN = low speed side of the CAN.
MOST = Media Oriented Systems Transport, fiber optic network for communication.
Master control module = Control module which monitors the MOST network.
Slave control module = Control module which supplies the MOST network functions.
Option = Factory installed accessories, during the purchase of a new car.
Accessory = After market installation.
| control module | Function | Communication | Other |
| Infotainment control module (ICM) | Monitors the MOST network. | Master control module, connected to both the LS CAN and the MOST network | Included in the standard set-up of the MOST network. Must be connected to the MOST network to function. |
