3. Product and System Description
The BSRF is a Telematic Control Unit (TCU) for telematic and connectivity purposes, factory fitted to passenger vehicles by the car manufacturer. It is designed and produced by Continental Automotive Technologies for the Stellantis Group.
The BSRF is designed for in-vehicle mounting with integrated WIFI and LTE backup antennas, external LTE main antennas, GNSS and Broadcast receiver antennas.
The BSRF does not provide a direct user interface. Instead, it provides radio features to be used by other control units and interfaces, such as the Head Unit (HU) in the vehicle via the vehicle electrical bus. The only exception is the Emergency and Assistance Call functionalities, which can operate autonomously or via a push button.
The BSRF uses a factory-mounted embedded SIM (MFF2). The built-in LTE backup antenna provides cellular network access in case the main antennas are damaged.
The BSRF connects to the car power supply via a 4-pin battery connector and to the vehicle interfaces via a 20-pin and a BroadR-Reach connector.
3.1 Features
The radio features include:
- Radio broadcast reception services: AM, FM, DAB
- Telematics and data connection via mobile networks (2G, 3G, 4G)
- Wi-Fi hotspot
- Emergency and Assistance Call Management
- GNSS Position (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou)
The non-radio features include:
- SW Update (via mobile networks)
- Cyber security
- Vehicle data storage
