Button lights (turn RED) in response to the current state of the Vehicle HVAC data. This is a real time instantaneous display of all HVAC status.
Touching a button sends a command to the HVAC system. There will be no corresponding change in the display unless the HVAC system acknowledges the command and responds with the current new state.
All button touches and HVAC responses are virtually instantaneous. This system has been running for years without a single glitch.
Temperature is changed up or down via Touch screen or the Encoder on the feDrive panel between the front seats - temperature is announced as it changes, pushing the encoder changes from passenger to driver adjustments.

Car PC PHONE
I purchased a small phone module ($47) and wrote an application as part of the Car- PC Front End software.
This system automatically mutes all other sound and pops up automatically on an incoming call. It will auto answer anyone in the phone book and announce their name.
A touch of the encoder button mounted between the seats will manually answer any other call and hangup when finished.
It is designed correctly for touch screen display and like all information in the Front End, audio prompts are available.
For most calls this is a totally Auto Answer - Auto Hangup system with beautiful hands free audio through the vehicle sound system.

Setup Menu: Basically all settings needed for the module to work with my software are here. If a new module were to be connected, just run through each item and press the write button.
Current setting along with updated settings are decoded and displayed in English.
The function of each command is shown in the lower window and the current AT command is shown on the Button. Pressing the test button loads the current command into an edit line so the command can be sent and read back in native format. This allows them to be compared to actual command results in the AT programming document/manual for testing.
Of course any AT command can be entered and tested here.
