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.
In case that 2 AV sources shall be connected, a desired audio
switching will require additional electronic.
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 If the video interface does not receive the required information
from the vehicle CAN-bus, the optical PDC display will not be
supported.
1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories

Version 29.01.2021 HW: CAM(100)/(V11+V41) CI-RL4-UCON12

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.

1.4.2. 4 dip - red
By using the Dip-switches, the vehicle can be chosen which the interface
will be connected to.
For all vehicles, all 4 dip switches must 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 interface is designated to be connected behind the vehicle`s head-unit.
