Due to changes in the production of the vehicle manufacturer there’s always a possibility of incompatibility. -
Page 21: Audio Insertion
3.1. 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 22: After-Market Rear-View Camera
3.3. After-market rear-view camera Some vehicles have a different reverse gear code on the CAN-bus which doesn’t communicate with the interface’s CAN. In this case there are two different ways of installation. If the interface’s CAN is able to detect an enabled vehicle’s reverse gear, the green wire of the 6pin to 12pin cable should carry +12V while the reverse gear is engaged. -

3.3.2. Case 2: Interface does not receive the reverse gear signal If the video interface does not receive +12V on the green wire of the 12pin interface cable when reverse gear is engaged (not all vehicles are compatible), an external switching signal from the reverse gear light is required. - Page 24 3.4. Connection – video-interface and external keypad Connect the keypad’s female 4pin connector to the 12pin interface cable’s male 4pin connector. Note: Even if the switching through several video sources by the keypad mightn’t be required, the keypad’s invisible connection and availability is strongly recommended.
