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.

Guide lines / PDC If the CAN-box does not receive the required information from the vehicle CAN-

bus, neither guide-lines nor PDC will be supported.

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.

1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories

Version 04.05.2021 CAM(V31)9275&9276(V11) CI-RL2-SC14

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.

1.4. 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.

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

See following chapters for detailed information.

1.4.1.1. 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 is recommended to enable only the required inputs for the disabled will be

skipped when switching through the video-interfaces inputs.

1.4.1.2. 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.

1.4.1.3. PDC car settings (dip 8)

Dip 8 is for the PDC car representation. If set to ON while the reverse gage is enabled, the

display shows a smaller reverse picture and for that the PDC car representation additionally

appears on its right side. If set to OFF while the reverse gage is enabled, the reverse picture

will be shown in full size.

Note: Dip 1 und 4 are out of function and have to be set to OFF.

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!

Note: 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 should be installed on the backside of the head unit.

2.3. Connection - PNP Power / CAN cable

Connect the female 6pin connector of the 6pin to8pin cable to the 6pin connector of the

video interface.

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

head-unit, clip-out chamber connectors A, B and the optical leads (see left picture and next

page) and connect this Quadlock connector to the male Quadlock connector of the PNP

Power / CAN cable.

Clip-in the previously clipped-out chamber connectors in the opposite Connect the opposite

female Quadlock connector of the PNP Power / CAN cable and connect this Quadlock

connector to the previously become free male Quadlock connector at the rear-side of the

head unit.

2.4. Analogue connecting - video-interface

If the communication between the CAN box and the vehicle’s CAN bus does not succeed (not

all vehicles are compatible), an analogue connection is required by connecting the 6pin to

8pin cable without the CAN box.

Connect the female 6pin connector of the 6pin to 8pin cable to the 6pin connector

of the video interface.

Connect the yellow, the red and the black wire of the 6pin to 8pin cable to the

vehicle’s power and ground.

Note: The connection of the green wire (Reverse signal) will be described in chapter “After-

market rear-view camera”. The white wire, can be used to switch the enabled video sources,

same as the keypad (see chapter “video interface-operation”). The grey wire stays

unconnected.
