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.
Video input signal Only compatible to NTSC video sources.
1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories
1.3. Connectors
1.3.1. 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.

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. 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.
Note: Dips 4, 6, 7 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!
1.4.2. 4 dip - red
By using the Dip-switches, the factory Head-unit or vehicle can be
chosen which the interface will be connected to.
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 video interface is designated to be connected behind the vehicle`s head unit.
The daughter PCB shell be installed and connected inside the factory head unit behind the
monitor panel.

2.3. Installation - ribbon cables into the monitor panel
Remove the factory monitor and open it`s housing. The daughter PCB is built to be installed into the
optical lead between the monitor panel and mainboard of the vehicles monitor.
Unscrew the housing screws shown in the picture and remove the back of the housing.
Remove the board underneath and put it aside.
Unscrew the 5 screws and remove the sheet metal part underneath.
Attention: It may be necessary to disconnect a small antenna cable from the board!
