Vehicular vision system with center stack display and mirror display for surround view and CMS cameras

A vehicular display system, the vehicular display system comprising:

• an electronic control unit (ECU) disposed at a vehicle equipped with the vehicular display system, wherein the ECU comprises electronic circuitry and associated software;
• a plurality of bird's eye surround view cameras and a plurality of camera monitoring system (CMS) cameras disposed at the vehicle;
• wherein the plurality of bird's eye surround view cameras comprises (i) a rear backup camera, (ii) a forward viewing camera at a front portion of the vehicle and (iii) side bird's eye surround view cameras at respective sides of the vehicle;
• wherein each bird's eye surround view camera of the plurality of bird's eye surround view cameras captures image data and provides captured image data to the ECU;
• wherein the plurality of CMS cameras comprises (i) a rearward viewing camera that has a different field of view than the rear backup camera and (ii) side rearward viewing CMS cameras at the respective sides of the vehicle having different fields of view than the side bird's eye surround view cameras;
• wherein each CMS camera of the plurality of CMS cameras captures image data and provides captured image data to the ECU;
• wherein the electronic circuitry of the ECU comprises an image processor operable to process image data captured by the plurality of bird's eye surround view cameras and by the plurality of CMS cameras;
• a video display screen disposed at a center console of the vehicle and viewable by a driver of the vehicle, wherein the video display screen is operable to display video images derived from video images provided by the ECU;
• a video mirror display screen disposed at an interior rearview mirror assembly of the vehicle, wherein the video mirror display screen is operable to display video images derived from video images provided by the ECU;
• wherein the video mirror display screen is electrically connected to the ECU via a first coaxial cable, and wherein the ECU provides video images to the video mirror display screen via the first coaxial cable;
• wherein the video display screen is electrically connected to the ECU via a second coaxial cable, and wherein the ECU provides video images to the video display screen via the second coaxial cable;
• wherein, during a parking maneuver of the vehicle, the ECU, via processing of image data captured by at least the plurality of bird's eye surround view cameras, generates bird's eye surround view video images and provides the bird's eye surround view video images to the video display screen;
• wherein, when the vehicle is traveling forward at a speed below a threshold speed, the ECU, via processing of image data captured by at least the plurality of CMS cameras, generates rearward view video images and provides the rearward view video images to the video display screen;
• and
• wherein, when the vehicle is traveling forward at a speed at or above the threshold speed, the ECU, via processing of at least a portion of image data captured by at least the plurality of CMS cameras, generates rearward view video images and provides the rearward view video images to the video mirror display screen.
