In case that 2 AV sources shall be connected, a desired audio
switching will require additional electronic.

view camera is only possible while the reverse gear is engaged. To
delay the switch-back an additional electronic part is required.

1.3. 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.

1.4.1.1. 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 power supply output: see chapter “Power supply output”.
1.4.1.2. 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.
1.4.1.3. Activation of the Interface PDC Graphic (Dip 4)
Dip 4 is used to display the interface PDC graphic as „picture in picture“ in combination with
the camera image.
1.4.1.4. 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 „Camera-IN“ while the
reverse gear is engaged.
1.4.1.5. 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 communicate completely with the vehicle CAN
bus, the reverse gear guide-lines and the PDC can`t be shown during the vehicle’s operation,
even if they in some vehicles once appear after having switched the system to powerless!
1.4.1.6. Monitor selection (Dip 7)
Dip 7 is used to adjust to the corresponding monitor size.
If set to ON, 4 inch monitors are selected on the interface.
If set to OFF, 6.5-, 7- and 8inch monitors are selected on the interface.
Note: Dip8 is out of function and has 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 picture signal cable is connected behind the monitor. The PNP power / CAN cable is
connected to the factory radio module (head unit), a DIN housing. In most vehicles, this is
located behind/below the monitor in the centre console. There is no APIM module with
these Sync versions.
