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
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.
1.1. Delivery contents
Take down the serial number of the interface and store this manual for support
purposes: ____________________

Compatibility
Limitations
Video only The interface inserts ONLY video signals into the infotainment.
For audio inserting, use the possibly existing factory audio-AUX-input or
a FM-modulator. If 2 AV-sources shall be connected to the
infotainment, for audio switching an additional electronic part is
required.
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.
After market front camera The front camera will automatically be switched for 10 seconds after
disengaging the reverse gear. A manually front camera switching is
possible by external keypad.
Guidelines Displayed guidelines are not available in all vehicles.

1.3. Connection - Video-Interface
The video-interface converts the connected after-market sources video signals into an RGB
digital signal which is inserted in the factory monitor using separate trigger options and it
reads 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 8 dip-switches at the
video-interface. Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.
See the following chapters for detailed information.
*The front camera will automatically be switched for 10 seconds after disengaging the
reverse gear.
The camera power supply +12V will automatically be provided by the green wire "Reverse-Out"
when the reverse gear is engaged, plus 10 seconds delay for the front camera, and also +12V
when the front camera is manually selected by external keypad (see chapter "Power Supply
Output").

1.4.1. Activating the front camera input (dip 1)
If set to ON, the interface switches for 10 seconds from the rear-view camera to the front
camera input after having disengaged the reverse gear. In addition, a manual switch-over to
the front camera input is possible via keypad (short press) from any image mode.
Description of the power supply output: see chapter “Power supply output”.
1.4.2. 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, disabled inputs will be
skipped when switching through the video-interfaces inputs.
1.4.3. Rear-view camera setting (dip 5)
If set to OFF, the interface switches to factory picture while the reverse gear is engaged to
display factory rear-view camera.
If set to ON, the interface switches to its rear-view camera input „Camera-IN“ while the
reverse gear is engaged.
1.4.4. Activating the guidelines (dip 6)
If set to OFF, the guidelines will be shown on the display. If set to ON, 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
Note: Dips 4, 7 und 8 are out of function and have to be set to OFF.
1.5. Settings of the 4 Dip switches (CAN function - 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 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
2.1.1. Place of installation –video-interface
The video-interface has to be installed on the backside of the head-unit.
2.1.2. Place of installation - daugter PCB
The daughter PCB has to be installed inside the monitor housing.

2.3.1. 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.
3) Avoid cable contusion or cable injury caused by sharp-edged metal.
