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.

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 Automatic 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.

Guide lines Displayed guidelines are not available in all vehicles.

1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories

1.3. Connection Video-Interface

The video-interface converts the connected after-market sources video signals into an digital

RGB 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 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. Adjustment –power supply output (dip 1)

If set to ON, the video interfaces’ red wire will supply +12V (max 3A) with engaging the

reverse gear and additionally 10 more seconds delay for the time of the front camera’s back-

switching after the reverse gear has been disengaged. Furthermore, the red wire’s power

supply for the front cam becomes active with manually front camera switching (short press

of the external keypad).

If set to OFF, the video interfaces’ red wire will supply permanent +12V ACC (max 3A).

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`s recommended to enable only the required inputs for the disabled 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 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 switches to its rear-view camera input “Camera-IN” while the

reverse gear is engaged.

1.4.4. Activating –front camera back-switching (dip 6)

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.

(Attend to correct adjustment of the power supply output (dip1)!

Note: Dip 4, 7 and 8 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.

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.

2.1. Place of installation

2.1.1. Place of installation –video-interface

The video-interface is performed to be installed at the backside of the head-unit.

2.1.2. Place of installation –daughter PCB

The daughter PCB is performed to be installed with an exchange housing plate behind the

head unit’s monitor panel.

2.3. Connections to the head-unit

2.3.1. Installation of the Exchange –retaining plate and the daughter PCB

Remove the head-unit and further remove the

original housing cover plate, which is fixed to the

head-unit housing by 5 Torx screws (T9).

Turn out the 4 screws of the monitor retaining

plate, after carefully unklipping the 66pin and

the 9pin ribbon cables.

Note: The connected ribbon cables have to be

handled with care to avoid each damage of the

sensitive electrical inducters (Refer also to

chapter “Connecting the ribbon cables”)

Remove the Original monitor retaining plate and replace it with the exchange

retaining-plate by using the original screws.

Version 03.08.2020 HW: CAM(V100)/(V32) CI-RL4-R40

Page10

After connecting the ribbon cables, the

daughter PCB has to be fixed with its

rearside at the exchange retaining plate

by using the enclosed 2 shorter screws.

Previous ribbon cable connection:

Read the following instructions!

2.3.2. Connecting the ribbon cables

2.3.2.1. Ribbon cable –66pin

Connect the daughter PCB’s pre-assembeled 66pin ribbon cable „IN PCB“ to the previously

become free ribbon cable base of the monitor mainboard (heed the following warning

notes!).
