Limitations

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

For audio insertion factory-audio-AUX-input or a FM-modulator is required.

Factory rear-view camera Automatic switch to factory rear-view camera only while reverse gear is

engaged. To delay the switch reset, additional electronics is required.

1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories

1.3. Boxes and connectors

1.3.1. 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.

Version 08.04.2021 HW CAM(V31)/(V22) CI-RL2-RLINK

1.3.1.1. Dip-switch settings

Some settings must be selected by the dip-switches on the

video-interface. Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.

See following chapters for detailed information.

After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset has to be performed!

See the following chapters for detailed information.

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

Only the enabled video inputs can be accessed by switching through the interface’s video

sources. It is recommended to enable only the required inputs, because the disabled inputs

will be skipped while switching through the video interfaces inputs.

1.3.1.3. Rear-view camera setting (dip 5)

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

1.3.1.4. Monitor selection (dip6, 7-and 8)

1.3.2. CAN-box

The CAN-box reads digital signals from the CAN-bus and converts them for the video-

interface.

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 to “Sleep-Mode”. In case it does not succeed,

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

2.1.1. Place of installation –video interface und CAN-Bus box

The interface boxes shall be installed behind the vehicle`s head-unit or the glove

department, depending on equipment and space.

2.1.2. Place of installation - daughter PCB

The interface’s daughter PCB is prepared to be installed between the head unit’s housing

and the monitor panel.

For this purpose the housing of head-unit have to be opened.

2.2. Connection Scheme

Version 08.04.2021 HW CAM(V31)/(V22) CI-RL2-RLINK

Page8

2.3. Connecting video-interface and CAN-Box

The CAN-box reads digital signals from the CAN-bus and converts them for the video-

interface. ACC +12V max. 0.5A (red of 6pin) and reverse gear +12V max. 0.5A constant signal

(green of 6pin). Video-source switching (white of 6pin) as +12V impulse. The grey wire stays

unconnected.

Connect the white female 6pin connector of the 6pin to 8pin cable to the male 6pin

connector of the video-interface.

Connect the black female 8pin Micro-Fit connector of the 6pin to 8pin cable to the

male 8pin Micro-Fit connector of the CAN-box.

Note: Check LEDs on video-interface after reconnecting the battery, one must be on.

Connect the black female 4pin connector of the PNP Power 7 CAN cable to the 4pin

Micro-Fit connector of the CAN-box.

Note: Check LEDs on CAN-box after reconnecting the battery, two must be on.

Note: The CAN-box is not compatible to all vehicles. If the CAN-box does not deliver ACC to

pin2 of the video-interface or blocks the vehicle CAN, it is possible to install the system

without CAN-box. In this case, see also the note in chapter “after-market rear-view camera”,

how the interface is supposed to be connected without CAN-Box.

2.4. Installation of the Ribbon cables into the Monitor panel

Remove the factory monitor and open it`s housing. The external daughter PCB is built to be

installed into the optical lead between the monitor panel and mainboard of the vehicles

monitor. The daughter PCB is equipped with to different ribbon cable options to support two

different monitor systems. Both 50pin Ribbon cables and both 60pin Ribbon cables are easily

recognizable, as they differ in size. Depending on the system, the two unneeded ribbon

cables have to be removed by unclipping the Ribbon cable base.

Connect the female 20pin connector of the daughter PCB to the male20pin connector

of the picture signal cable and connect the second male 20pin connector opposite

the cable to the female 20pin connector of the interface. Take care for installing the

cable in the right direction as both connectors seem to be identical. (Take notice of

the wire`s caption “MONITOR SIDE” and “BOX SIDE”

2.4.1. Media Nav with 50pin Ribbon cable

Disconnect the optical leads housed between the monitor`s mainboard and the monitor-

panel. Connect the daughter PCB’s ribbon cable CAR-IN to the ribbon cable base of the

monitor`s mainboard. For this procedure you may either use the original ribbon cable or the

ribbon cable of the daughter PCB. Make sure that the connector pins of each pin connector

are faced to the platinum before clipping them.

Connect the ribbon cable PNL OUT of the daughter PCB to the ribbon cable base of the

monitor’s platinum (take care again for a platinum faced installation of the connector pins!)

Carefully fix the daughter PCB to the mainboard of the monitor by using the enclosed

spacers and screws

2.4.2.1. Warning notes, concerning the installation of ribbon cables:

1) The contacting ends of ribbon cables always have to be installed in a straight and precise

180° position to the connector. Each deviation from a perfect contact position will curse

faulty contact and even danger of short circuit

2) The ribbon cable’s contacting side always has to correspond to the contacting side of the

connector, concerning the mounting position.
