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

video interface’s 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: ____________________

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 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.

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 12.05.2021 HW:CAM (V100)/(V42,V43,V44) CI-RL4-C3D

Page5

1.3. Boxes and 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 have to be selected by the dip-switches of the

video interface.

Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.

*The front camera will automatically be switched for 10 seconds after disengaging the

reverse gear.

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

See the following chapters for detailed information.

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 front camera power supply: see chapter “Power supply output”.

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

Only by dip switches enabled video inputs can be accessed by switching through the

interface’s video sources. It is recommended to enable only the required inputs. Disabled

inputs will be skipped while switching through the video interfaces inputs.

1.4.3. Activation of the factory PDC display (Dip 4)

Dip 4 is used to display the factory PDC (if available) as „picture in picture“ in combination

with the camera image.

1.4.4. Rear-view camera setting (dip5)

If set to OFF, the interface switches to factory 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 switches to its rear-view camera input while the reverse gear is

engaged.

1.4.5. Activating the guide lines (dip6)

If set to ON, the guide-lines will be shown on the display.

If set to OFF, 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!

1.4.6. Monitor selection (dip7 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.

If, with dip switch-1 setting „ON“ the source switching by infotainment button doesn‘t

succeed and further the external keypad doesn’t work either, the dip switch setting of dip-

1 has to be changed to „OFF“.

After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Can-box 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!

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

The interface is supposed to be installed at a suitable location behind the vehicle`s head-

unit.

2.3. Connections to factory head-unit and monitor

Remove the factory head unit and monitor

2.3.1. Connection to the picture signal cable

Disconnect the factory picture signal cable’s purple coloured female HSD+2 connector at the

rear-side of the head unit and connect it to the waterblue coloured HSD+2 connector

“TO LCD“.of the video interface .

Connect the not-angled purple coloured female HSD+2 connector of the enclosed picture

signal cable to the previously become free waterblue coloured male HSD+2 connector of the

factory head-unit.

Connect the opposite angled female purple coloured HSD+2 connector of the picture signal

cable to the waterblue coloured male HSD+2 connector ”HU IN”of the video interface.

Note: The colours of the HSD connectors at monitor and head unit may vary.

The picture signal cable’s connecting direction doesn’t have an impact on the system’s

function, for that the angled and not-angled HSD connectors are allowed to be interchanged,

depending on the HSD connectors mounting space at the monitor.

However, mixing up/interchanging the connections of „HU IN“ and „TO LCD“ may cause

dysfunktion or even damage to the system!

2.3.2. Connection to Quadlock - CAN

Connect the female 10pin connector of the 10pin Power / CAN cable to the 10pin connector

of the video interface.

Remove the female Quadlock connector of the vehicle harness from the rear-side of the

head-unit and connect it to the male Quadlock connector of the Power / CAN cable.

Connect the opposite female Quadlock connector of the Power / CAN cable to the previously

become free male Quadlock connector at the rear-side of the head unit.

After the connections of the video interface have been done, carry out the following

technical checks:
