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: ____________________

Opel
Insignia B since 06/2018
Multimedia Navi Pro with 8inch monitor
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.
1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories
1.3. Boxes and connectors –video interface
The video-interface converts the connected after-market sources video signals into a LVDS
signal which is inserted in the factory monitor using separate trigger options. Further it reads
the vehicle’s digital signals out of the vehicle’s GM-Lan and converts them for the video
interface.

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 is supposed to be installed at a suitable location behind the factory head-unit.
The factory head unit in the Insignia-B with 8inch monitor is located in the passenger
footwell on the right side under the glove compartment.
