Principals of Operation

Comparison of CIC with CCC

The ASK system was installed in E65/E66. With the E60, ASK developed into M-ASK
and the further developed CCC which was available as an option.
The multi-audio system controller M-ASK is the central control unit of the information
and communications systems. The M-ASK combines up to four control units in one.
The M-ASK combines the following control units in one housing:
• ASK
• Antennal amplifier/tuner
• MOST CAN gateway, interface to control display
In the E65, these modules were separate control units.
The car communication computer CCC is the central control unit which combines the
functions of the M-ASK, plus some additional functions.
Voice control of the systems and the navigation system with map presentation were
made possible with the CCC.
The CCC also contains the driver for the rear passenger compartment display.
The CCC performs all the functions of the M-ASK as well as offering Navigation and
additional programming possibilities.
As part of this development from the ASK to the CCC system, the radio tuner, navigation,
voice recognition and actuation as well as video signal processing were integrated in the
CCC.
A comparison is repeatedly made in this training information between the predecessor,
Car Communication Computer head unit and the new CIC head unit.
Note: For further information on the CIC refer to the Vehicle Owner's Manual
and the CIC training material available in TIS and ICP .
