The IGM / ICCM is connected to the FCDIM through an APIX2 connection. The driver controls the functions of the navigation system by using the FCDIM.

The IGM / ICCM is connected to the IPC through the HS CAN HMI systems bus.

Vehicles equipped with HUD, the IGM / ICCM is connected to the HUD through the HS CAN HMI systems bus.

Video data is sent to the IPC through an APIX2 data link. The data link allows the navigation data to be displayed depending on the selected format of the IPC.

Navigation data is stored in the IGM / ICCM. The updates of the map are downloaded and the system updated through a USB connection. The USB connection is on the front portable media interface panel located in the front console.

NOTE: Due to the map data file size, it is recommended that a USB 3.0 memory stick is used to update the map data.

There are different internal storage specifications depending on the vehicle specification.

The navigation system incorporates a 'dead reckoning' system. When the GNSS signal is lost, the IGM / ICCM uses other vehicle signals to calculate the position. The signals include:

• Navigation map
• Odometer
• 3D gyroscope
• 3D accelerometer (integrated in the IGM / ICCM)
• Reverse gear.

Additional information is transmitted on a FM wavelength. The information uses the antennas to pass the signals to the IGM / ICCM.

The VICS supplies information to enable the IGM / ICCM to re-route the navigation guidance. The VICS also can inform the driver of the traffic conditions in the vehicles vicinity.

The Radio Frequency (RF) and infrared transmissions are generally transmitted from road side beacons mainly on expressways. The information transmitted is as follows:

• Traffic congestion.
• Travel time to next intersection.
• Traffic conditions in surrounding areas and expressway turn offs.
• Traffic accidents.
• Speed limits.
• Lane regulations.
• Tire change.
• Parking availability at expressway service areas and parking areas.

Infrared transmissions are transmitted from road side beacons on major trunk roads. The information transmitted is:

• Traffic congestion and travel time.
• Traffic accidents.
• Breakdowns.
• Road work restrictions.
• Parking availability.

The FM transmissions are broadcast as part of the FM multiplex broadcasting system from NHK (Japanese Broadcasting Corporation) FM stations. Information transmitted is:

• Traffic congestion and travel time for wide areas.
• Traffic accidents, road works, speed limits and lane restrictions for a wide area.
• Parking availability information.

The traffic data is split from the normal FM transmissions by the FM antenna amplifier.

The VICS is an unique system for Japan and provides countrywide coverage and broadcasts of real-time traffic and weather information. The VICS has 3 methods of transmitting the traffic data to the vehicle's navigation system:

• FM
• Microwave RF
• Infrared.
