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 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.

1.3. Connection Video-Interface

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

digital 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 8 dip-switches at the

video-interface. Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.

See the following chapters for detailed information.

sources. It`s recommended to enable only the required inputs for the disabled will be

skipped when switching through the video-interfaces inputs.

1.4.2. Rear-view camera setting (dip 5)

If set to OFF, the interface switches to factory RGB digital 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.

Note: Dip 1, 4, 6, 7 and 8 are out of function and have to be set to 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 –video-interface

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

2.1.1. Place of installation - Exchange housing base plate with daugter PCB

2.3. Connections to the head-unit - LVDS

Remove the head-unit and further remove the original housing base plate, which is fixed to

the head-unit housing by 4 Torx screws (T9).

Clip out the head-unit housing at the head-unit control panel and fold it to the side,

like shown in the picture above.

Note: The connected ribbon cables have to be handled with care to avoid each

damage of the sensitive electrical inducters.

Position the Exchange housing base plate with the daugter PCB in place of the

original base plate

Version 17.02.2020 HW GD(V97) CI-UCON5N

Page10

Clip out the original 40pin ribbon cable which is connected at the head-unit’s ribbon

cable base and connect it to the lower free ribbon cable base “Lcd OUT”of the

daughter PCB. (heed the following warning notes!)

Note: Due to the very short length of the ribbon cable, there’s only limited space

for mounting available.

Connect the daughter PCB’s pre-assembeled 40pin ribbon cable to the previously

become free ribbon cable base of the head-unit mainboard. (heed the following

warning notes!).

After a check of the perfect ribbon cable connection, in reverse order fold back and

clip in the head-unit housing to the head-unit control panel and fix the exchange

housing base plate to the head-unit’s housing.
