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.
No liability for vehicle wire colours and pin definition!
Changes by the vehicle manufacturer are possible. The given information has to be verified
by the installer.
1. Prior to installation
Read the manual prior to installation. Technical knowledge is necessary for installation. The
place of installation must be free of moisture and away from heat sources.
1.1. Delivery contents
Take down the serial number of the interface and store this manual for support

Limitations:
Video only The interface inserts ONLY video signals into the infotainment. For inserting Audio
signals either the possibly existing factory audio or a FM-modulator can be used.
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.
Guide lines Displayed guide lines are not available in all vehicles.

1.3.1. 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.
1.3.2. CAN-bus box
The CAN box reads the vehicle’s digital signals out of the vehicle’s CAN-bus and converts
them for the video interface.

1.3.3. Dip-switch settings –interface (8dip –black)
Some settings have to be selected by the dip-switches on the
video interface. Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.
See the following chapters for detailed information.
After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Can-box has to be performed!
1.3.3.1. Enabling the interface’s video inputs (dip 2-3)
Only the enabled video inputs can be accessed by switching through the interface’s video
sources. It is recommended to enable only the required inputs, so the disabled inputs will be
skipped while switching through the video interfaces’ inputs.
1.3.3.2. Rear-view camera setting (dip 5)
If set to OFF, the interface switches to factory LVDS picture while the reverse gear is engaged
to display the factory rear-view camera or the factory optical park system picture.
If set to ON, the interface switches to its rear-view camera input while the reverse gear is
engaged.
1.3.3.3. Touch panel version (Dip 6)
For monitors with resistive touch panels, dip6 has to be set to ON.
For monitors with capacitive touch panels, dip6 has to be set to OFF.
1.3.3.4. Monitor specific settings (Dip 7)
Dip switch setting ON will support the 8inch monitor.
Dip switch setting OFF will support the 7inch monitor.
1.3.3.5. PDC adjustments (dip 8)
If set to ON, the PDC car graphic will be shown on the display. If set to Off, the PDC car
graphic will disappear.
Note: Dip 1 und 4 are out of function and have to be set to OFF.

Note: The experience values of the CAN bus dip settings are only exemplary. If the Can
communication doesn’t succeed, try other dip combinations.
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 –video interface and CAN-bus box
The interface box and the CAN-bus box are prepared to be connected and installed behind
the vehicle`s head unit.
The daughter PCB is prepared to be connected and installed inside the head unit.

2.3. Installation –daughter PCB
Turn out the 4 Torx screws at the rear side of the head unit.
Turn around the head unit, carefully share the monitor part from the head unit housing,
clip out and disconnect the original 50pin ribbon cable and lay the monitor part aside.
Replace the mainboards original 3Torx screws against the 3 enclosed brass spacers
(fix points for daughter PCB).

Version 17.02.2020 HW: LVDS(50) CI-VL2-LR14-OPS

2.4. Connection –daughter PCB
To support the picture signal cable’s final out-leading, bend the left metal housing lab at
90° inwards.
Connect the daughter PCB’s preassembled 50pin ribbon cable to the mainboard’s
previously become free 50pin ribbon cable base and lock the connection.
Connect the monitor panel’s previously become free 50pin ribbon cable to the daughter
PCB’s free ribbon cable base and lock the connection.
With taking care of the previously supported save out-leading for the picture signal
cable, stick together the monitor part and the head unit housing (cable tension
recommended!).
Finish by fixing the housing with the 4 original Torx screws.
