When menu handling via the steering wheel buttons the signals are sent from Steering wheel module (SWM) (3/130) to Infotainment control module (ICM) via LIN-communication. Infotainment control module (ICM) then sends the signals on to Television Module (TVM) via the MOST-net.
Menu management is displayed to the user in the display on the Infotainment Control Module (ICM) and in some cases also on the display for the Rear seat entertainment module (RSE), if applicable.
