The data for the Infotainment, telephone, navigation and speech control systems, audio players, sound system and data bus diagnostic interface -J533- are transmitted via the fibre optic MOST bus.
The connection to the other data buses in the vehicle is provided by the data bus diagnostic interface -J533-.
The central control unit is the control unit for front display and information control panel -J523-. The signals required to display information on the instrument cluster display are transmitted via the MOST bus to the data bus diagnostic interface -J533- and from there via the CAN bus (instrument cluster) to the instrument cluster.
Fault finding is performed via the „Guided Fault Finding“ → Vehicle diagnostic tester.
For more information, refer to → No.286.

Notes on MOST bus
In addition to the CAN bus, the fibre optic data bus „MOST bus“ is used.
A „fibre optic cable“ is used as the connecting cable. The fibre optic cables are fitted in corrugated tubes for protection.
Renew the complete fibre optic cable whenever possible.
It is important to ensure that the end faces of the connectors do not become dirty.
   
If connectors are unplugged: fit a protective cap for cable connector -VAS 6223/9-.
When installing the fibre optic cables, be sure to observe the minimum bending radius of 25 mm. Do not crush or kink the fibre optic cable.
Repairing fibre optic cables → Electrical system; Rep. gr.97.
For more information, refer to → No.286.
