    1.3. Connection Video-Interface The video-interface converts the connected after-market sources video signals into a digital RGB signal which is inserted in the factory monitor using separate trigger options. Furthermore, it reads vehicle’s digital signals out of the vehicle’s CAN-bus system and converts them for the video interface.

    1.4.1. Activating the front camera (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.

    2.6. Connection of video sources It is possible to connect an after-market rear-view camera, an after-market front camera and two more AV sources to the video-interface. Before a final installation of the video sources, we recommend a test-run to ensure the compatibility of vehicle and interface.
  • Page 15: Audio Insertion

    2.6.1. 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.

    2.6.3. 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. In this case there are two different ways of installation. If the video- interface 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.
  • Page 17 2.6.3.2. Case 2: CAN-box does not receive the reverse gear signal If the video interface does not deliver +12V on the green wire of the 12pin cable when reverse gear is engaged (not all vehicles are compatible), an external switching signal from the reverse gear light is required.
