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.
After market front camera The front camera will automatically be switched for 5 seconds
after disengaging the reverse gear. A manually front camera
switching is possible by external keypad.
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.
PDC and guidelines 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. Boxes and 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.

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 vehicle`s head-
unit.

2.4. 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 12pin interface cable’s female 12pin connector to the male 12pin connector of
the video-interface.
Connect the video RCA of the Rear-view camera to the 12pin interface cable’s female
RCA connector „Reverse V4.
Connect the front camera’s video RCA connector to the 12pin interface cable’s female
RCA connector „Front V3“.
Connect the video RCA of the AV source 1 and 2 to the 12pin interface cable’s female RCA
connector “Left (V1)” and ”Right (V2)”.

Version 27.08.2021 HW: CAM(V100)/(V20/V30) RL4-MIB92
Page16
2.4.1. 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.
2.4.2. 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 incl. 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 27.08.2021 HW: CAM(V100)/(V20/V30) RL4-MIB92
Page17
2.4.3. 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.
2.4.3.1. 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 “Camera IN” 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 27.08.2021 HW: CAM(V100)/(V20/V30) RL4-MIB92
Page18
2.4.3.2. 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
interface cable and connect the green input cable “Reverse-IN” to the output
connector (87) of the relay.
Note: Last but not lot least 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).

Version 27.08.2021 HW: CAM(V100)/(V20/V30) RL4-MIB92
Page19
2.5. Connection - video-interface and 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.

Version 27.08.2021 HW: CAM(V100)/(V20/V30) RL4-MIB92

2.6. Picture -, guide-lines- and PDC settings
The picture settings are adjustable by the 3 push-buttons at the rear-side of the video-
interface. Press the MENU button to open the OSD settings menu or to switch to the next
menu item. Press UP and DOWN to change the selected value. The buttons are placed inside
in the housing to avoid accidental changes during or after the installation. Picture settings
must be done separately for all video inpouts while the corresponding input is selected and
visible on the monitor.
Note: The OSD menu is only shown when a working video source is connected to the
selected video-input of the interface.
The following settings are available:
Contrast
Brightness
Saturation
Position H*(horizontal)
Position V*(vertical)
H-SIZE (Image width)
V-Size (Picture height)
*If the vertical and horizontal picture position is not shown correctly on the display, it can
only be adjusted in the menu if Dip-8 (the black 8-dips) was previously set to ON.
Note: If the video interface does not receive the required information from the vehicle CAN-
bus, neither moving guide-lines nor PDC will be supported.
