    1.3. Connectors - 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.

  • Page 6: Activating The Front Camera Input

    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 power supply output: see chapter “Power supply output”.

    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.

    2.9. Connecting Video sources It is possible to connect an after-market rear-view camera, an after-market front camera and two more video sources to the video-interface. Before the final installation, we recommend a test-run to detect a incompatibility of vehicle and interface. Due to changes in the production of the vehicle manufacturer there’s always a possibility of incompatibility.

  • Page 17: Audio-Insertion

    2.9.1. Audio-insertion This interface is only able to insert video signals into the factory infotainment. If an AV- source is connected, the audio insertion has to be done by the factory audio AUX input or an FM-modulator. The inserted video-signal can be activated simultaneously to each audio- mode of the factory infotainment.

  • Page 18: After-Market Rear-View Camera

    2.9.3. After-market rear-view camera Some vehicles have a different reverse gear code on the CAN-bus which the video-interface is not compatible with. Therefore, there are two different ways of installation. If the video interface receives a signal of the reverse gear, the green wire “Reverse-OUT” of the 20pin cable should carry +12V while the reverse gear is engaged.
  • Page 19 2.9.3.2. Case 2: Interface does not receive any reverse gear signal If the video interface does not deliver +12V on the green wire of the 20pin cable when reverse gear is engaged (not all vehicles are compatible), an external switching signal from the reverse gear light is required.
