| | 32 | == Features == |
| | 33 | Here is a list of current features supported by the device. |
| | 34 | * 800x480 native pixel resolution |
| | 35 | * 3 Input sources, 1xVGA and 2xAV (composite video) |
| | 36 | * Full support of all buttons and encoders. Buttons support press, hold and release states |
| | 37 | * All the control LEDs can be set into any flashing state controlled by a bit pattern, i.e. 11111111 - LED on, 01010101 LED flash every 1/8sek |
| | 38 | * Support switching between video sources as also turning on and off of the display |
| | 39 | * Original Photo-Sensor from the bordmonitor can be used to detect current brightness in the car (can be used to detect night or day time) |
| | 40 | * Almost complete emulation of MID device through OpenBM. BMW Professional RDS Radio can be controlled by this device |
