Legal Information

By law, watching moving pictures while driving is prohibited, the driver must not be

distracted. We do not accept any liability for material damage or personal injury resulting,

directly or indirectly, from installation or operation of this product. Apart from using this

product in an unmoved vehicle, it should only be used to display fixed menus or rear-view-

camera video when the vehicle is moving (for example the MP3 menu for DVD upgrades).

Changes/updates of the vehicle’s software can cause malfunctions of the interface. Up to

one year after purchase we offer free software-updates for our interfaces. To receive a free

update, the interface has to be sent in at own cost. Wages for de-and reinstallation and

other expenditures involved with the software-updates will not be refunded.

1. Prior to installation

Read the manual prior to installation. Technical knowledge is necessary for installation. The

video interface’s place of installation must be free of moisture and away from heat sources.

Before the final installation in the vehicle of the video sources, we recommend a test-run

to ensure the compatibility of vehicle and interface. Due to changes in the production of

the vehicle manufacturer there’s always a possibility of incompatibility.

Limitations

Video only The interface inserts ONLY video signals into the infotainment. For inserting

Audio signals either the possibly existing factory audio-AUX-input or a FM-

modulator can be used. If 2 audio sources shall be connected to the

infotainment, an additional electronic is necessary to switch them.

Factory rear-view camera Automatically switching-back from inserted video to factory rear-view camera is

only possible while the reverse gear is engaged. To delay the switch-back an

additional electronic part is required.

Video input signal Only NTSC compatible.

Guide lines If the interface does not receive the required information from the vehicle CAN-

bus, the guide-lines will not be supported.

1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories

Version 01.02.2019 HW:CAM (V98) / (V20) CI-RL3-C3D

1.3. Boxes and connectors –video interface

The video-interface converts the video signals of connected after-market sources in a factory

monitor compatible picture signal which is inserted in the factory monitor, by using separate

trigger options. Further it reads the vehicle’s digital signals out of the vehicle’s CAN-bus and

converts them for the video interface.

1.4. Settings of the 8 Dip switches (black)

Some settings have to be selected by the dip-switches of the

video interface.

Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.

See the following chapters for detailed information.

1.4.1. Enabling the interface’s video inputs (dip 2-3)

Only by dip switches enabled video inputs can be accessed by switching through the

interface’s video sources. It is recommended to enable only the required inputs. Disabled

inputs will be skipped while switching through the video interfaces inputs.

Note: Dip 1 and 4 are out of function and have to be set to OFF!

1.4.2. Rear-view camera setting (dip5)

If set to OFF, the interface switches to factory picture while the reverse gear is engaged to

display factory rear-view camera or factory optical park system picture.

If set to ON, the interface switches to its rear-view camera input while the reverse gear is

engaged.

1.4.3. Activating the guide lines (dip6)

If set to ON, the guide-lines will be shown on the display.

If set to OFF, the guide lines won’t be visible on the display.

Note:If there is no communication between interface and the vehicle`s CAN-bus (several

vehicles aren’t compatible), the reverse gear guide-lines can`t be shown during the vehicle’s

operation, even if they once appear after having switched the system to powerless!

1.4.4. Monitor selection (dip7 and 8)

Dips 7-8 customize the monitor-specific video settings which sometimes even vary within

head units of the same version, caused by different monitor specifications. Try all possible

combinations of dip7 and 8 while a working video source is connected to the chosen input of

the interface. One of the 4 combinations will show the best picture size and quality (some

may give no picture). It is possible to first hot plug through the dip combinations. If there is

no change of picture visible after trying all 4 options, retry and disconnect the 6pin plug at

the interface box between every change of the dip setting.

Note: If, with dip switch-1 setting „ON“ the source switching by infotainment button

doesn‘t succeed and further the external keypad doesn’t work either, the dip switch

setting of dip-1 has to be changed to „OFF“.

After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Can-box has to be performed!

2. Installation

To install the interface, first switch off the ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery.

Please read the owner`s manual of the car, regarding the battery`s disconnection! If

required, enable the car`s Sleep-mode (hibernation mode)

In case the sleep-mode does not succeed, the disconnection of the battery can be done

with a resistor lead.

If the necessary stabilized power supply for the interface is not taken directly from the

battery, the chosen connection has to be checked for being constantly stabile.

The interface needs a permanent 12V source!

Before a final installation, we recommend a test-run to ensure the compatibility of the

vehicle and the interface. Due to changes in the production of the vehicle manufacturer

there’s always a possibility of incompatibility.

2.1. Place of installation

The interface is supposed to be installed at a suitable location behind the vehicle`s head-

unit.

Connect the female 10pin connector of the 10pin Power / CAN cable to the 10pin connector

of the video interface.

Remove the female 40pin Quadlock connector of the vehicle harness from the rear-side of

the head-unit and connect it to the male 40pin Quadlock connector of the Power / CAN

cable.
