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.
After market front camera The front camera will automatically be switched for 10 seconds after
disengaging the reverse gear. A manually front camera switching is
possible by external keypad.
PDC and guide lines If the video interface does not receive the required information from
the vehicle CAN-bus, neither guide-lines nor optical PDC display will be
supported.

1.3. 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.
1.4. Settings of the 8 Dip switches (black)
Some settings have to be selected by the dip-switches on the
video interface.
Dip position down = ON and position up = OFF.
*The front camera will automatically be switched for 10 seconds after disengaging the
reverse gear.
See the following chapters for detailed information.
After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Can-box has to be performed!

1.4.1. Activating the front camera input (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 front camera power supply: see chapter “Power supply output”.
1.4.2. 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 is recommended to enable only the required inputs, disabled inputs
will be skipped when switching through the video-interfaces inputs.
1.4.3. 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.
If set to ON, the interface switches to its rear-view camera input „V4 Reverse “ while the
reverse gear is engaged.
1.4.4. Enabling the Guide lines (dip 6)
If set to ON, the interface is activated to show the guide lines for the rear-view camera while
the vehicle is in reverse mode (not available for all vehicles).
Note: Some vehicles have a different code on the CAN-bus which the video-interface is not
compatible with. If the interface does not completely communicate with the vehicle CAN
bus, the reverse gear guide-lines can`t be shown during the vehicle’s operation, even if they
in some vehicles once appear after having switched the system to powerless!
1.4.5. Activating the PDC (dip7)
If set to ON, the PDC car will be displayed on the screen and the park distance will be shown
by using the signals of the vehicle’s CAN-bus. If there is no communication between the
interface and the vehicle`s CAN-bus (several vehicles aren’t compatible), the park distance
can’t be shown. In this case, set dip7 to OFF.
Note: Dip 4 and 8 are out of function and have to be set to OFF!

After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the video interface has to be performed!
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 video interface is supposed to be installed at a suitable location behind the factory
monitor. This requires the vehicle’s centre console to be removed.

Page12
Note: The colours of the HSD connectors at monitor and head unit may vary.
The picture signal cable’s connecting direction doesn’t have an impact on the system’s
function, for that the angled and not-angled HSD connectors are allowed to be interchanged,
depending on the HSD connectors mounting space at the monitor.
However, mixing up/interchanging the connections of „HU IN“ and „TO LCD“ may cause
dysfunktion or even damage to the system!
After the connections of the video interface have been done, carry out the following
technical checks:

2.8. Connection - video sources
It is possible to connect an after-market rear-view camera, an after-market front camera and
two more video 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. Due to changes in the production of the vehicle
manufacturer there’s always a possibility of incompatibility.
Connect the female 12pin connector of the 12pin interface cable to the male 12pin
connector of the video-interface.
Connect the video RCA of the Rear-view camera to the female RCA connector “Reverse (V4)“
of the 12pin interface cable.
(refer also to chapter “after-market rear-view camera”).
Connect the video RCA of the front camera to the female RCA connector “Front (V3)“ of the
12pin interface cable.
(refer also to chapter “After-market front camera”).
Connect the video RCA of the video source 1 and 2 to the female RCA connector „Left (V1)“
and „Right (V2)“ of the 12pin interface cable.

Version 10.08.2020 HW:CAM(V98)/(V31/ZK) CI-RL4-LR17

2.8.1. 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. If 2 AV sources shall be connected to the infotainment,
additional electronic is necessary to switch the audio signals.
2.8.2. After-market front camera
The red power supply output ACC/front cam out 12V (max 3A) can be used to power a front
camera. If Dip 1 is set to ON (black 8 dips), the power supply output gives +12V (max 3A)
when reverse gear is engaged plus 10 seconds delay after reverse gear is disengaged.
Note: In addition, a manual switch-over to the front camera input is possible via keypad
(short press) from any image mode. The power supply output gives +12V then, as well (if Dip
1 is set to ON and the front camera input is selected).
Attention: A long press of the external keypad push button will switch the interface to the
next source.

Version 10.08.2020 HW:CAM(V98)/(V31/ZK) CI-RL4-LR17
Page17
2.8.3. 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. Therefore, there are two different ways of installation. If the video
interface receives a signal of the reverse gear, the green wire “Reverse-OUT” of the 20pin
cable should carry +12V while the reverse gear is engaged.
Note: Do not forget to set video interface’s dip5 to ON before testing.
2.8.3.1. Case 1: Interface receives the reverse gear signal
If the interface delivers +12V on the green output wire of the 12pin interface cable while
reverse gear is engaged, the video interface will automatically switch to the rear-view
camera input „Reverse (V4)“while the reverse gear is engaged.
Additionally, the +12V (max. 3A) power supply for the rear-view camera can be taken
from the green wire of the 12pin interface cable.

Version 10.08.2020 HW:CAM(V98)/(V31/ZK) CI-RL4-LR17
Page18
2.8.3.2. Case 2: Interface 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. As the reverse gear light’s power supply isn’t voltage-
stabile all the time, an ordinary open relay (e.g AC-RW-1230 with wiring AC-RS5) or filter
(e.g. AC-PNF-RVC) is required. The diagram below shows the connection type of the relay.
Disconnect the green cable’s preconnected male- and female connectors of the 12pin
cable and connect the green input cable “Reverse-IN” to the output connector (87)
of the relay.
Note: To avoid short circuits, the best solution should be, to crimp a male 4mm
connector to the relay’s output cable and connect it to the green cable’s female 4mm
connector. The output-cable “Reverse-OUT” remains disconnected as it’s out of
function.
Connect the Reverse light’s power-cable to coil (85) and the vehicle’s ground to coil
(86) of the relay.
Connect the output connector (87) of the relay to the rear-view camera’s power-
cable, like you did it to the green “Reverse-IN” cable before.
Connect stabile and permanent +12V to the relay’s input connector (30).

2.9. Connection - video-interface and external keypad
Connect the female 4pin connector of the keypad to the male 4pin connector of the
12pin interface cable.
Note: Even if switching through several video sources by the keypad mightn’t be
required, the invisible connection and availability is strongly recommended.
