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 guide lines 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.

Video input signal only NTSC compatible

1.3. Connection 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 on the

video interface.

Dip position down = ON and position up = OFF.

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

reverse gear.

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 front camera power supply: 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 „V4 Reverse “ while the

reverse gear is engaged.

1.4.4. Enabling the Guide lines (dip 6)

If set to ON, the interface is activated to show the guide lines for the rear-view camera while

the vehicle is in reverse mode (not available for all vehicles).

Note: Some vehicles have a different code on the CAN-bus which the video-interface is not

compatible with. If the interface does not completely communicate with the vehicle CAN

bus, the reverse gear guide-lines can`t be shown during the vehicle’s operation, even if they

in some vehicles once appear after having switched the system to powerless!

1.4.5. Activating the PDC (dip7)

If set to ON, the PDC car will be displayed on the screen and the park distance will be shown

by using the signals of the vehicle’s CAN-bus. If there is no communication between the

interface and the vehicle`s CAN-bus (several vehicles aren’t compatible), the park distance

can’t be shown. In this case, set dip7 to OFF.

Note: Dip 4 and 8 are out of function and have to be set to OFF!

1.5. Settings of the 4 Dip switches (CAN functions –red)

All 4 dip-switches of the video interface have no function for normal use

If the CAN communication doesn’t succeed with the mentioned CAN positions, the other

After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the video interface 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!

2.1. Place of installation

The video interface is supposed to be installed at a suitable location behind the factory

monitor. This requires the vehicle’s centre console to be removed.

2.3. Note for test run

In vehicles in which the climate control system is operated by the touchscreen monitor, it is

necessary to have the monitor connected for an interface test run.

(Concerns e.g. all Land Rover and some other vehicles)
