1.4. Connection Video-Interface The video-interface converts the video signals of connected after-market sources in a factory monitor compatible picture signal which is inserted in the factory monitor, by 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.
1.5.1. Enabling the interface’s video inputs (dip 2-3) Only the enabled video inputs can be accessed when switching through the interface’s video sources. It`s recommended to enable only the required inputs, for the disabled will be skipped when switching through the video interfaces inputs. 1.5.2.
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.
2.3. Connections to the head-unit Remove the vehicle’s head unit 2.3.1. Connection LVDS – video interface 2.3.1.1. High version head unit Disconnect the vehicle harness’ female double 4pin HSD connector from the head unit’s rearside and connect it to the double 4pin HSD connector of the enclosed 4pin HSD harness.
2.3.1.2. Low version head unit (1 X 4pin HSD) Disconnect the single female 4pin HSD connector of the vehicle harness at the rearside of the head unit and connect it to the 4pin HSD connector „Low version HU – to vehicle harness“ of the enclosed 4pin HSD harness.
2.3.2. Connection to the head unit – Power / CAN Disconnect the female PSA Quadlock connector at the rearside of the head unit and click out the green female 22pin connector of the female PSA Quadlock connector. Connect the singel four cables of the POWER / CAN cable to the green female PSA Quadlock connector as shown: „BATT“...
2.4. Connecting the video sources It is possible to connect two after-market video-sources and an after-market rear-view camera to the video-interface. 2.4.1. Video-sources to Video IN1 and Video IN2 Connect the interface cable’s female 12pin connector to the video interface’s 12pin connector.
2.4.2. Audio insertion This interface can only insert video signals into the factory infotainment. If an AV source is connected, the audio insertion has to be performed by a factory aux input or an FM modulator. The inserted video-signal can be activated simultaneously to each audio-mode of the factory infotainment.
2.4.3.2. Case 2: Video interface does not receive the reverse gear signal If the video interface does not receive +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.
2.4.3.3. Video signal connection for the rear-view camera Connect the video-RCA of the after-market rear-view camera to the female RCA port “Camera-IN” of the video-cable. Version 02.02.2018 HW:CAM-GD (V94) RL3-NAC...
2.5. Connecting video-interface and external keypad Connect the keypad’s female 4pin connector to the video-interface’s male 4pin connector. Note: Even if the switching through several video sources by the keypad mightn’t be required, the invisible connection and availability is strongly recommended. Version 02.02.2018 HW:CAM-GD (V94) RL3-NAC...
2.6. Picture settings and guide lines The picture settings can be adjusted by the 3 buttons on the video-interface. Press the MENU button to open the OSD settings menu.
