Yaw Rate Sensor

The Car Information Computer features a yaw rate sensor. It supplies the data relating to changes in driving direction for the navigation system.

This data is required for the purpose of determining the exact position as satellite signals cannot be received everywhere (tunnels, underground parking lot etc.).

The yaw rate sensor is a separate module soldered on the main board. It has been greatly reduced in size compared to the yaw rate sensor in the Car Communication Computer.

Unlike with CCC, it is no longer possible to replace the yaw rate sensor separately from the entire unit.
