for sound use the FM-modulator or factory AUX which can

be coded by dealership or our OBD-coders if not already

available in the vehicle or the AUX-in interface AUX-110 or

a Dension gateway 500.

Factory-OPS-display While reverse gear is engaged ONLY the picture of the

after-market rear-view camera is visible!

1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories

1.3. Dip-switch settings

interface is to be installed in (dip 6 to 8), to dis- or enable the interfaces inputs (dip 1 to 3)

and to preselect the type of camera which is (to be) installed (dip 5).

Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.

1.3.2. Enabling the interface’s video inputs (dip 1-3)

Only the enabled video inputs can be accessed when switching through the video sources. It

is recommended to enable only the required inputs for the disabled will be skipped when

switching through the video interfaces inputs.

1.3.3. Rear-view camera settings (dip 5)

Depending on whether no camera, after-market camera or

factory camera shall be used, dip 5 must use different settings.

If set to OFF, the interface switches to factory LVDS picture

when the reverse gear is engaged to display factory rear-view

camera or factory PDC picture.

Note: If the Can-bus does not work while connecting an after-market rear-view camera, cut

the green cable of the 6pin to 8pin cable at the black 8pin connector and connect it to the

reverse gear light (+12V). For this use a relay because the reverse gear light of the vehicle is

clocked (relay AC-RW1230 and AC-RS5 optional available).

2. Installation

Switch off ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery! The interface needs a

permanent 12V source. If according to factory rules disconnecting the battery

is to be avoided, it is usually sufficient to put the vehicle is sleep-mode. In

case the sleep-mode does not show success, disconnect the battery with a

resistor lead.

If power source is not taken directly from the battery, the connection has to be

checked for being start-up proven and permanent.

2.1. Place of installation

The interface is installed on the backside of the vehicle’s monitor.

2.3. Installation procedure –function check

Follow the below procedure using the “Connections” scheme from chapter 2.2. as reference.

Before the installation of the sources and the interface we recommend a first quick

connection of the interface and test run to ensure that vehicle and product are compatible.

Due to changes in production of the vehicle manufacturer there is always the possibility of

incompatibility.

-Switch off ignition and disconnect vehicle’s battery

-Remove vehicle monitor

-Disconnect 12pin power connector from backside of factory monitor

-Connect 4pin CAN box harness to 12pin power connector of factory harness

-Reconnect 12pin power connector to factory monitor

-Plug 4pin harness into CAN box

-Plug 8pin female connector of 6pin to 8pin cable into CAN box

-Transfer vehicle harness’10pin LVDS connector from factory monitor to interface’s

male 10pin connector port

-Connect video-interface LVDS output and factory monitor’s 10pin LVDS port using

the 10pin interface LVDS cable

-Plug 6pin female connector of “6pin to 8pin cable” into video interface

-Plug keypad into “Switch” connector. Even if the keypad shall not be used, its

installation (e.g. in a hidden spot) is recommended for support reasons

-If 2 audio sources shall be used, connect it according to chapter 2.6.

-Reconnect battery and turn on ignition

-Check LEDs on CAN box and video interface, one on each must be on

-Try to activate video sources by infotainment buttons (see chapter 3.1.) and by

keypad (see chapter 3.2.), using a test picture source

-If camera is (to be) connected try to engage reverse gear with test picture source

connected

-If 2 audio sources shall be used, connect the audio wires and check the audio

function

-ONLY after positive function check proceed with final installation of the video

sources!

-After installation and connection of the real video source(s), adjust picture settings

(see chapter 2.4.)

2.4. Picture settings

After installing the sources the picture settings can be changed using a pen on the buttons of

the video interface. Press the MENU button to open settings menu on the OSD and to

switch to the next setting. UP and DOWN change the corresponding values. The buttons are

embedded in the housing to avoid accidental changes during or after installation.

2.5. Audio insertion

This interface can only insert video into the factory infotainment. The video can be activated

to any audio mode of the factory infotainment. If an AV-source is to be connected, the

source’s video out is connected to the video IN1 of the video interface and the source’s

audio out to the audio insertion. Audio insertion is possible by the AUX-in interface AUX-110,

factory audio AUX input, a Dension Gateway 500 or FM-modulator. The factory audio AUX

might be already available in the vehicle. If not, on most infotainments which are compatible

with this video interface, it can be coded by the dealership or by using one of our OBD-CCC-

X-xx coders.

2.6. Connecting 2 AV-sources

If two AV-sources shall be connected, connect the included audio cable to audio-switch-port

of the video interface. When switching the video interface from video-IN1 to video-IN2, the

audio will also automatically be switched.
