Installation location of the central information display
The central information display is located in the centre of the
instrument panel above the ventilation outlet.
Design of the central information display
The central information display (CID) comprises following
components: advanced TFT display, crossed-coil motor and
mounting trough with switches.
- Advanced TFT display:
The LC display is designed as a 6.5" advanced TFT display.
The display is of identical design as the 6.5" display of the on-
board monitor in the E46.
The advanced TFT display adapts automatically to the
brightness of the ambient light. The display has a visible range
of 144 mm x 79.5 mm and a resolution of 400 x 240 Pixels.
The display is an analogue unit and is controlled by RGB
signals.
The display is mounted such that it can rotate and is moved by
a crossed-coil motor.
- Crossed-coil motor with gear mechanism:
The crossed-coil motor is a brushless DC motor.
The positions of the display are detected by Hall sensors on
the gear mechanism.
- Mounting trough:
The display and the crossed-coil motor are accommodated in
a mounting trough. The trough is located in the centre of the
instrument panel so that the same component can be used for
left-hand drive and right-hand drive vehicles. The trough is
screwed flush with the surface of the instrument panel.
- Switch:
Left and right switches are integrated in the trough. The left
switches serves the purpose of finely setting the display to
improve the readability corresponding to the seat position and
light conditions.
The right switch serves to fold the display in and out.
