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: ____________________

Compatible systems

Opel

Astra K since model year 2020

Insignia B since 06/2018

Multimedia Navi and Multimedia Radio

With 7inch touch monitor

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.

Video input signal Only NTSC video sources compatible

1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories

1.3. Boxes and connectors –video interface

The video-interface converts the connected after-market sources video signals into a LVDS

signal which is inserted in the factory monitor 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.

1.4.1. Adjustment –power supply output (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, depending on the menu

adjustments. In addition, a manual switch-over to the front camera input is possible via

keypad (short press) from any image mode.

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 by switching through the interface’s video

sources. It is recommended to enable only the required inputs. So the disabled inputs will be

skipped while 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 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.

1.4.4. Monitor selection (dip 7 and 8)

Dip switch setting of dip7= OFF

Dip switch setting of dip8= ON

Note: Dip4 and dip6 are out of function and have to be set to OFF!

1.5. Settings of the 4 Dip switches (CAN-BUS function –red)

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

As with any installation of retrofit equipment, a stand-by test is neccessary after the

installation of the video interface, to ensure that the unit also switches off after reaching

the vehicle‘s sleep mode.

Before the final installation, we recommend a test-run of the interface. Due to changes in

the production of the vehicle manufacturer, there’s always the possibility of

incompatibility.

2.1. Place of connection

The interface has to be connected at the factory head-unit and the factory monitor.

The factory head unit in the Insignia-B is possibly located in the passenger footwell on the

right side under the glove compartment.

Remove the factory head-unit

Connect the 10pin PNP cable’s female 10pin connector to the 10pin connector of the

video interface.

Disconnect both female 28pin connectors of the factory harness at the rear side of the

head unit and connect it to the male grey coloured 28pin connectors of the 10pin PNP

cable.
