Requirements

Vehicle Audi A3 (8V), Seat Leon, Skoda Octavia 3, VW Golf 7, VW Polo 5

(6C) and other vehicles with

Head-unit/monitor MIB High/Standard with 7”(Audi) respectively 8”

(Seat/Skoda/VW) and 5.8” Monitor

Limitations

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

For sound use the possibly existing factory-audio-AUX-input or a

FM-modulator.

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

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

back additional electronics is required.

1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories

1.3. Boxes and connectors

1.3.1. CAN-bus box

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

interface.

Version 23.11.2015 CI-VL2-MIB-3

Page5

1.3.2. Video-interface

The video-interface converts the connected after-market sources video signals to an LVDS

signal which is the inserted into the factory monitor on certain trigger options.

1.3.2.1. 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.

1.3.2.2. Enabling the interface’s video inputs (dip 1-3)

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.

1.3.2.3. RGB-video input signal selection for after-market navigation (Dip 4)

If an after-market RGB navigation or other RGB video source is connected, the source’s RGB

output signal must match the interface’s RGB video input setting.

1.3.2.4. 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.

1.3.2.5. Monitor selection (dip 7-8)

Dip 7 and 8 are for 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 (both OFF, both ON, 7 OFF and 8 ON, 7 ON and 8 OFF) - 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 4 options, retry and disconnected the 6pin power plug of the video-

box between every change of the dip setting.

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 is sleep-mode. In case the sleep-mode does not show

success, 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

The interface is installed on the backside of the head-unit.

10pin Micro-Fit connector of the CAN-box.

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

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

6pin Molex connector of the video-interface.

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

Micro-Fit connector of the CAN-box.

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