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.

1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories

Brand

Infotainment systems

Maserati

Ghibli since model year 2017

Levante since model year 2016

and other vehicles with

Uconnect VP4-NA infotainment

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.

After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Can-box has to be performed!

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. Monitor selection (dip 7 and 8)

Dips 7-8 customize the monitor-specific video settings which cannot be predicted as even

within the same head-unit version, the monitor specifications may vary. It is necessary to try

all possible combinations - while a working video source is connected to the chosen input of

the interface - to see which combination gives the best picture quality and size (some may

give no picture). It is possible to first hot plug through the dip combinations, but if you do

not experience any change of picture after trying all options, retry and disconnected the 6pin

power plug of the video-box between every change of the dip setting.

Note: Dips 4 und 6 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.

For all vehicles, use the OFF position of all the 4 dip switches.

After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Can-box has to be performed!

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 head unit.

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.
