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 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.
Guidelines If the video interface does not receive the required information
from the vehicle CAN-bus, guide-lines will not be supported.
1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories
Version 27.04.2021 HW CAM(V100)/(V20) CI-RL3-CIC

1.3. 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 must be selected by the dip-switches on the
video-interface. Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.
*If the PDC graphic is not shown laterally on some vehicles, but only offset in the middle of
the display, this cannot be adjusted. If necessary, deactivate the PDC function via Dip-7.
See the following chapters for detailed information.
After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Interface-box has to be performed!

1.4.1. 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`s recommended to enable only the required inputs, for the disabled will be
skipped when switching through the video interfaces inputs.
1.4.2. 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 a factory rear-view camera or a factory optical park system picture.
If set to ON, the interface switches to its rear-view camera input „Camera-IN“ while the
reverse gear is engaged.
1.4.3. Activation of the factory Interface PDC Graphic (Dip 7)
Dip 7 is used to display the interface PDC graphic as „picture in picture“ in combination with
the camera image. If the PDC graphic is not shown laterally on some vehicles, but only offset
in the middle of the display, the position cannot be adjusted.
If necessary, deactivate the PDC function via Dip-7.
1.4.4. Monitor selection (dip 8)
Dip 8 is for monitor-specific video settings.
Note: Dips 1, 4 and 6 are out of function and have to be set to OFF.
After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Interface-box has to be performed!
1.5. Settings of the 4 Dip switches (CAN functions –red)
Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.

2. Installation
Switch off the ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery! The interface needs a
permanent 12V source. If -according to factory rules- a disconnection of the battery has to
be avoided, it should be sufficient to use the vehicle’s sleep-mode. In case, the sleep-mode
doesn’t succeed, the battery has to be disconnected with a resistor lead.
The Interface needs a permanent power supply! If power isn’t directly taken from the
battery, the connection’s power has to be checked for being start-up proven and
permanent.
Before the final installation, we recommend a test-run of the interface. Due to changes in
the production of the vehicle manufacturer, there’s always the possibility of
incompatibility.
2.1. Place of installation
The interface is installed on the factory monitor’s backside.

2.3. Connections - factory monitor
Remove the factory monitor.
2.3.1. Picture signal cable
Connect the female 4+2pin HSD connector of picture signal cable to the male
4+2pin HSD connector of the video interface.
Disconnect the female 4pin HSD connector at the rear-side of the factory monitor
and connect it to the picture signal cable’s male 4pin HSD connector.
Connect the picture signal cable’s female 4pin connector to the male 4pin HSD
connector of the head-unit.
Note: If the originalHSD picture signal cable of the vehicle harness is too short for the
installation, an HSD extension can be ordered separately with item number CAB-HSD-MF100.
Version 27.04.2021 HW CAM(V100)/(V20) CI-RL3-CIC
Page10
2.3.2. 8pin PNP cable
Connect the 8pin PNP cable’s female 10pin connector to the 10pin connector of the video
interface
Remove the female 8pin connector of the factory harness at the monitor’s rear-side and
connect it to the male 8pin connector of the 8pin PNP harness.
Connect the female 8pin connector to the monitor’s previously become free 8pin connector.
If, after connecting the PNP harness, no interface LED lightens up while the ignition is
turned on, the single red wire ACC-out (max 3A) and the purple coloured wire Manual ACC
of the 12pin interface cable both have to be connected additionately to S-contact terminal
86s +12V e.g. glove compartment illumination (refer to “Analogue power supply fot the
video interface).
