NTG4.5

Audio20 NTG4.5

Both with 4-Pin HSD

connector at the

monitor

Not compatible with

dual-view monitors!

Limitations

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

For audio insertion a factory audio-AUX input or FM-modulator

is required. For AUX option coding we offer OBD-N45-X-01.

Factory media interface If available, its AUX cable with 3.5mm jack (available at MB), can

be used for audio insertion. While used for audio insertion, the

Apple adapter or USB adapter cannot be used simultaneously.

Factory rear-view camera Automatic switch-back from inserted video to factory rear-view

camera only while reverse gear is engaged. To delay the switch-

back time, additional electronics is required.

PDC and guidelines If the video interface does not receive the required information

from the vehicle CAN-bus, neither guide-lines nor optical PDC

display will be supported.

1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories

Version 11.05.2021 HW CAM(V31),(V22) CI-RL2-MBN45

Page5

1.3. Boxes and connectors

1.3.1. CAN-bus box

The CAN-bus box reads digital signals from the vehicle’s CAN-bus and converts them for the

video-interface.

1.3.2. 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. 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.

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

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

sources. It is recommended to enable only the required inputs for the disabled will be

skipped when switching through the video interfaces inputs.

1.4.1.2. 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 witches to its rear-view camera input CAM while the reverse gear

is engaged.

1.4.1.3. Monitor selection (dip 7-8)

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

within head units of the same version, caused by different monitor specifications. It is

necessary to try all possible combinations while a working video source is connected to the

chosen input of the interface (both OFF, both ON, 7 OFF and 8 ON, 7 ON and 8 OFF). One of

the 4 combinations will show the best picture size and quality (some may give

no picture/black 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 of the video intzerface between every change of the dip setting.

After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Video Interface 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!

2.1. Place of installation

The interface shell be installed on the backside of the factory monitor and head-unit.

2.2. Connection scheme

Version 11.05.2021 HW CAM(V31),(V22) CI-RL2-MBN45

Page9

2.3. Connection - video-interface and CAN-box

The CAN-bus 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 (green of 6pin)

constant signal. Video-source switching (white of 6pin) as +12V impulse.

Connect theblack female 10pin connector of the Quadlock harness to the male 10pin

connector of the CAN-box.

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 connector of the 6pin to 8pin cable to the male 8pin

connector of the CAN-box.

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

Not all vehicles are kompatible. If the CAN-box does not deliver ACC to pin2 of the video-

interface or blocks the thevehicle’s CAN, it is possible to install the video interface without

the CAN-box. In this case see also note in chapter after-market rear-view camera if one is

supposed to be connected.

2.4. Connection - factory monitor

Remove factory monitor.

Remove the blue female 4pin HSD connector from the rearside of the factory

monitor and connect it to the aubergine colored male 4pin HSD connector of the

picture signal cable.

Connect the waterblue colored female 4pin HSD connector of the picture signal cable

to the white male 4pin HSD connector of the factory monitor.

Connect the waterblue colored female HSD+2 connector of the picture signal cable

to the male HSD+2 connector of the video-interface.

Note: No liability for vehicle wire colours and pin definition!

Changes by the vehicle manufacturer are possible. The given information has to be verified

by the installer..
