Legal Information
By law, watching moving pictures while driving is prohibited, the driver must not be
distracted. We do not accept any liability for material damage or personal injury resulting,
directly or indirectly, from installation or operation of this product. Apart from using this
product in an unmoved vehicle, it should only be used to display fixed menus or rear-view-
camera video when the vehicle is moving (for example the MP3 menu for DVD upgrades).
Changes/updates of the vehicle’s software can cause malfunctions of the interface. Up to
one year after purchase we offer free software-updates for our interfaces. To receive a free
update, the interface has to be sent in at own cost. Wages for de-and reinstallation and
other expenditures involved with the software-updates will not be refunded.
1. Prior to installation
Read the manual prior to installation. Technical knowledge is necessary for installation. The
video interface’s place of installation must be free of moisture and away from heat sources.
Before the final installation in the vehicle of the video sources, we recommend a test-run
to ensure the compatibility of vehicle and interface. Due to changes in the production of
the vehicle manufacturer there’s always a possibility of incompatibility.
1.1. Delivery contents
Take down the serial number of the interface and store this manual for support
purposes: ____________________

Limitations:
Video only The interface inserts ONLY video signals into the infotainment. For
inserting Audio signals either the possibly existing factory audio-AUX-
input or a FM-modulator can be used. If 2 audio sources shall be
connected to the infotainment, an additional electronic is necessary to
switch them.
Factory rear-view camera Automatically switching-back from inserted video to factory rear-view
camera is only possible while the reverse gear is engaged. To delay the
switch-back an additional electronic part is required.
Video input signal only NTSC compatible
1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories
1.3. Boxes and connectors –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.

1.4. Settings of the 8 Dip switches (black)
Some settings have to be selected by the dip-switches on the
video interface. Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.
See the following chapters for detailed information.
1.4.1.1. Enabling the interface’s video inputs (dip 2-3)
Only by dip switches enabled video inputs can be accessed by switching through the
interface’s video sources. It is recommended to enable only the required inputs. Disabled
inputs will be skipped while switching through the video interfaces inputs.
1.4.1.2. Vehicle selection (dip 4)
Dip switch setting ON = Audi vehicles
Dip switch setting OFF = Lamborghini vehicles
1.4.1.3. Rear-view camera setting (dip 5)
If set to OFF, the interface switches to factory picture while the reverse gear is engaged to
display factory rear-view camera or factory optical park system picture.
If set to ON, the interface switches to its rear-view camera input while the reverse gear is
engaged.

1.4.1.4. Monitor selection (Dip 6,7,8) - only for Lamborghini vehicles
For Audi vehicles, set all 3 dips to OFF.
For Lamborghini vehicles dips 6, 7 and 8 customize the monitor-specific video settings which
sometimes even vary within head units of the same version, caused by different monitor
specifications. It is necessary to try all possible combinations while a working video source is
connected to the chosen input of the interface. One of the six combinations will show the
best picture size and quality (some may give no picture). It is possible to first hot plug
through the dip combinations. If there is no change of picture visible after trying all 6
options, retry and disconnect the 10pin plug of the Quadlock connector between every
change of the dip setting.
1.5. Settings of the 4 Dip switches (CAN functions –red)
All 4 dip-switches of the video interface have no function for
normal use and have to be set to OFF.
Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.

2. Installation
To install the interface, first switch off the ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery.
Please read the owner`s manual of the car, regarding the battery`s disconnection! If
required, enable the car`s Sleep-mode (hibernation mode)
In case the sleep-mode does not succeed, the disconnection of the battery can be done
with a resistor lead.
If the necessary stabilized power supply for the interface is not taken directly from the
battery, the chosen connection has to be checked for being constantly stabile.
The interface needs a permanent 12V source!
2.1. Place of installation
The interface has to be installed at a suitable location behind the Radio or behind the glove
compartment, depending on the place where the vehicle’s head unit is installed.

2.3. Connections to the factory head-unit
Remove the head-unit.
Connect the female HSD+2 connector of the 4pin HSD picture signal cable
to the video-interface’s male HSD+2 connector.
Disconnect the female 4pin HSD connector of the vehicle harness from the rear of the
head-unit and connect it to the male 4pin HSD connector of the 4pin HSD picture signal
cable.
Note: If required, the marked lugs of the
female 4pin HSD LVDS connector have to be
cut off! Further, the colour of the female
4pin HSD connector may vary between
pink and grey, depending on the installed monitor.
Connect the female 4pin connector of the 4pin HSD picture signal cable to the male 4pin
HSD LVDS connector of the head-unit (colours may vary!).
Remove the female Quadlock connector of the vehicle
harness from the rear of the head-unit and
connect the previously clipped out white
female 12pin connector (see graphic) to the
male 12pin connector of the PNP harness.
Clip in the female 12pin connector of the PNP
harness in the previously become free position of the female Quadlock connector before
finishing the Quadlock reconnection at the rear of the head-unit.

2.5. Analog power supply for the video interface
If, after connecting the PNP harness, no interface LED lightens up while the ignition is
turned on, the single red wire ACC-out (max 3A) and the purple coloured wire
Manual ACC of the 12pin interface cable both have to be connected additionately to
S-contact terminal 86s +12V (e.g. glove compartment illumination).
