Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Signal Specification, Infotainment Control Module (ICM)
General
All the values given below are between the respective terminal in column 1 and terminal #A11 in column 1 (power ground) unless otherwise stated in brackets after the table entry.
It is important to connect the breakout box and check the ground connections before starting to measure.
| U= | DC voltage in volts (V) | UAC = | AC voltage in volts (V) |
| Ubat = | Battery voltage (V) | f = | Frequency in Hertz (Hz) |
| Ulow = | Voltage approximately 0 V | t = | Time in seconds |
| PWM = | Pulse width modulated signal in % |
Connector C1
| Breakout box terminal | Control module terminal | Signal type | Ignition on | Ignition off | Miscellaneous |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #25 | #C1-1 | 30 supply | U = Ubat | U = Ubat | Input signal. |
| #26 | #C1-2 | Signal reception, ICS IR | Input signal. The low-pass filter in Infotainment control module (ICM) only lets past frequencies below 2 kHz. |
||
| #27 | #C1-3 | Secrecy mode telephone | U = Ulow | U = Ulow | Input signal. When the secrecy mode signal is grounded, for example, in case of incoming calls via external accessories such as handsfree, it leads to the Infotainment control module (ICM) reducing all sounds automatically. |
| #28 | #C1-4 | Reserve | - | ||
| #29 | #C1-5 | Reserve | - | ||
| #30 | #C1-6 | Ground, ICS LED | U = Ulow | U = Ulow | Output signal. |
| #31 | #C1-7 | Signal ground, ICS | U = Ulow | U = Ulow | Output signal. |
| #32 | #C1-8 | Voltage feed IR-sensor, ICS | U =5 V | U = Ulow | Output signal. |
| #33 | #C1-9 | Voltage feed, ICS LED | U=1.2 - 3.3 V | U = Ulow | Output signal. PWM 225 Hz |
| #34 | #C1-10 | Control, ICS | U = 5 V | U = Ulow | Input signal. Analogue input signal from ICS resistor step. |
| #35 | #C1-11 | Power ground, voltage feed | U = Ulow | U = Ulow | Input signal. |
| #36 | #C1-12 | LIN SWS | U = 5 V | U = Ulow | Input/output signal. |
| #37 | #C1-13 | CAN H#1 | U = 2.5 - 3.5 V | U = Ulow | Input/output signal. |
| #38 | #C1-14 | CAN L#1 | U = 2.5 - 3.5 V | U = Ulow | Input/output signal. |
| #39 | #C1-15 | CAN H#2 | U = 2.5 - 3.5 V | U = Ulow | Input/output signal. |
| #40 | #C1-16 | CAN L#2 | U = 2.5 - 3.5 V | U = Ulow | Input/output signal. |

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
