2. Signal Inputs
The signal input connections for the system include:
(1) Rear Camera: Plug the RJ 11 camera cable end into the control box
AVin-1 location, route the cable to the rear camera and plug the 4-pin connector
into camera 4 pin connector. Users can see the rearview camera image when the car
is shifted into reverse.
(2) Interior Camera: Plug the RJ 11 camera cable end into the control box AVin-2,
Users can see the interior camera image when the “CAM” button is pressed.
(3) Navigation: The navigation signal is supplied via the monitor cable
plugged directly into the rear of the mirror.

The Navigation Image is the default mode, and will only be overridden
when the vehicle gear selector is moved into reverse, or if the CAM button
on the mirror is pressed.

Some operators may find that leaving the Navigation Image on the LCD
monitor at all times becomes a distraction while operating their motor
vehicle. For the convenience of those operators, a ‘Display Timer Slide
Control Switch’ has been added to the mirror.
A. When the Slide Control Switch is moved to the far right end position,
the Navigation image will remain on at all times.
B. When the Slide Control Switch is moved to the far left end position,
the Navigation image will remain off at all times.
C. Positioning the Slide Control Switch anywhere in the center area will
automatically enable an internal timer. The timer is adjustable between 10
Seconds (further left) to 3 minutes (further right).
D. When the Navigation System is in guidance mode, every time a turn-
by-turn voice guidance command is received, the Navigation image will
automatically turn on and remain on for the pre-selected time set by the
Slide Switch. After the pre-set time has expired, the Navigation display will
turn off and remain off until the next voice command is received.
HINT 1: When entering a new address into the Navigation Address Book, it
will be easier to move the Slide Control Switch all the way to the right to
keep the LCD display on until the address has been completed.
HINT 2: When in Timed Display Mode, you can press the “+” or “-“ button on
the mirror to turn the Navigation image on for the full extent of the pre-set
time.
