GPS (Global Positioning System) Receiver
The GPS receiver module of the previous Mk-2 system is integrated into the housing of the
Mk-3 computer, further reducing the complexity and the number of components used in
the system. The receiver is not serviceable.
The GPS receiver is responsible for receiving the satellite signals and providing the vehicle’s
position information to the navigation computer.
Information provided by the GPS receiver to the navigation computer can be displayed in
the service mode
(see workshop hints) but is not typically used in diagnosis.
Gyro (Rotation) Sensor
The navigation computer contains the electronic (piezo) Gyro sensor that detects rotation
(yaw) of the vehicle as a confirmation that the vehicle is turning. The signal provided by the
gyro is a mili-voltage that changes as the vehicle rotates. The navigation computer uses
the input to track the vehicle along the digitized map and display the exact vehicle position.
The signal is available in the sensor test page of the service mode for diagnosis. The
sensor is not a separately serviceable item and does not require calibration.

Mk-3 Navigation
Information/body bus Interface
The navigation computer is integrated into the vehicle bus system as it’s main communica-
tion link with the vehicle.
Communication occurs with the following modules:
BMBT- Control inputs
Radio- Display data
GM- Door open
IKE/Kombi- On-board computer data
Telephone PSE Box- Monitor display data, mayday function
DISplus- Coding data
PSE = Portable Support Electronics
Video/Audio Signals
Board Monitor (Top Navigation)
The RGB video signal for all display functions of the board monitor are produced by the
navigation computer graphics stage via three output signals. The Red-Green-Blue signals
are direct inputs to the board monitor. The audio signals for navigation instructions to the
radio are sent via two separate lines.
MIR (Radio Navigation)
Since a color display is not used for the MIR, the navigation information for the display is
sent via a NAV bus. The NAV bus is a single dedicated line between the Mk-3 computer
and the MIR. Audio signals for navigation instructions are sent to the radio via two
separate lines.
