1.4. Setting the dip switches of the tuner-box
The default dip switch settings of the tuner-box
need to be changed ONLY if a rear-view camera is
or shall be connected or if the AV of the dvbLOGiC
shall be deactivated. The dip switches are located
inside the tuner-box. For changes it is necessary
to open the box. Default settings are:
dip1 = ON, dip2 = OFF, dip3 = OFF
Requirements
Vehicle 7series (E65/E66)
Navigation Navigation system Professional E65 (older 1/2-button iDrive
or CIC (newer 8-button iDrive) with 8.8” monitor
Limitations
factory-TV-tuner Must NOT be installed.
factory DVD-changer After-market rear-view camera cannot be connected to
or factory nightvision the dvbLOGiC interface.
Teletext Teletext of the dvbLOGiC can only be used with the
optionally available DVB-IRSET remote control set.
factory Additional interface VL-RGB02-R is necessary
rear-seat-entertainment
After-market rear-view cam Only works from dvbLOGiC mode, not from OEM.

1.4.1. Automatic switching to rear-view camera
If an after-market rear-view camera shall be connected or a factory
rear-view camera is connected, in order for the dvbLOGiC to
automatically switch to its camera input, when reverse is engaged
set dip2 = ON (up).
Note: Automatic switching works only from dvbLOGiC mode.
1.4.2. Deactivating dvbLOGiC AV input
If no peripheral AV-source shall be connected to the dvbLOGiC, we
recommend to disable the AV-input, to avoid customers switching by
mistake to black/no picture of the AV-input. In order to disable the
AV-input of the dvbLOGiC,
set dip1 = OFF (down).
2. Installation
Switch off ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery! If according to factory rules
disconnecting the battery has to be avoided, it is usually sufficient to put the vehicle in
sleep-mode. In case the sleep-mode does not show success, disconnect the battery with a
resistor lead.
Complete and correct function of the interface is possible only when CAN and MOST®
(tuner) connections are made properly. On vehicles without TV-icon, it will be coded
automatically after installation.
Place of installation is at the rear of the navigation screen and at the rear of the navigation
computer.
Note: The loose white and green cable of harness TV-BMW65 are not required and must be
isolated.

2.2. Installation of tuner-box DVBC-M436
The fibre optical interface installation is
made at the navigation computer, which
is located at the left side in the trunk
behind a cover and has to be removed.
The factory TV-tuner must be uninstalled.
Remove the factory optical leads of the factory
TV-tuner port (blue female connector) and connect
it to the black male MOST®-connector enclosed to
harness C2C-BMW01. Pay attention to the
directional arrow on the optical lead connectors.

2.3. Antennas and optional IR-remote control set
Mount antennas ANT-12 and connect them to the female f-plug connectors on front
of tuner-box DVBC-M436.
We strongly recommend to first test the reception quality of the chosen mounting
position of the antennas before final installation! See “Appendix C –Antenna
positioning”for additional information.
The DVB-IRSET consists of the external C3C-SENSOR IR-sensor and the DVBC-RC
IR-remote control and can be used to control the dvbLOGiC’s internal DVB-T tuner
functions additionally to the control through the navigations buttons. Connect the
C3C-SENSOR to the female black/red/blue 3pin AMP connector of harness
C3C-AVIR and locate the sensor in an accessible place.
Note: To use the teletext function of the dvbLOGiC’s internal DVB-T tuner, the DVB-
IRSET is necessary to enter the page numbers.
2.4. Connecting peripheral devices
It is possible to connect an after-market AV-source, after-market rear-view camera and rear-
seat-entertainment to the dvbLOGiC Tuner. Also factory nightvision, factory DVD-changer or
factory rear-view camera must be connected to the dvbLOGiC-Tuner.
Before final installation of the peripheral devices, we recommend to test-run the
dvbLOGiC functions to detect incompatibility of vehicle, navigation, factory accessories or
peripheral devices as soon as possible.

Version 13.02.2013 DVB-E65-TV

2.4.1. AV-source
The dvbLOGiC has the possibility to connect and remotely control by navigation buttons a
pre-programmed device. The device list in the device control table shows the pre-
programmed remote channels and the related IR-remote cables STA-xxx which must be
ordered separately for the control of the device.
Using the respective STA-xxx IR-control cable, interconnect the yellow female 3pin
AMP connector of harness C3C-AVIR and the IR-port of the AV-source.
Using an RCA-cable, interconnect the female RCA-port AV1 of the tuner-box
DVBC-M436 with the AV-output of the AV-source.
The pink ACC-output wire (+12V max 1A) of harness C2C-BMW02 can be connected
to the ACC-input wires of the connected device to switch it on. It carries +12V when
the navigation computer is running.
2.4.2. Installing AV-source’s IR-sensor additionally
Additionally to the control via OEM navigation, it is possible to install the original IR-sensor
of a connected device. By using the respective Y-adapter (e.g. STA-Y35MM or STA-RJ12) for
the IR-Port of the connected device, the controls of navigation AND device’s IR-sensor can be
connected and used simultaneously. Installation of the IR-sensor is recommended as the
controls via navigation are limited, and not all functions may be covered.

Version 13.02.2013 DVB-E65-TV
Page10
2.4.3. After-market rear-view camera
Connect the video RCA of the after-market rear-view camera to the female RCA
connector R-CAM IN of tuner-box DVBC-M436.
The green wire of harness C2C-BMW02 can be used as +12V power (max 1A) supply
for the rear-view camera.
Note: Automatic switching to the camera-input when reverse gear is
engaged works only in dvbLOGiC mode.
With an existing factory PDC the visual PDC display must be deactivated occasionally or
permanently by iDrive while operating in the vehicle settings for camera picture. If needed
the PDC display can be switched on by PDC button.

Version 13.02.2013 DVB-E65-TV
Page11
2.4.4. After-market rear-seat-entertainment
Using RCA-cables, connect the rear-seat-entertainment to the female RCA-connector
VIDEO OUT of tuner-box DVBC-M436.
Note: As the output is a full output, not shared with the video signal for the
navigation system, splitting the video with an RCA Y-cable might give a good enough
picture for two rear-seat-entertainment monitors. If not, or if connecting more than
two monitors, use a video splitter.
2.4.5. Factory nightvision, factory DVD-changer, factory rear-view camera
On vehicles with factory nightvision, factory DVD-changer or factory rear-view camera, pin
out the video-signal and video-signal ground from the white 18pin AMP connector of the
vehicles harness (rear of navigation computer) and connect them by male RCA-connector to
the R-CAM IN of tuner-box.
Navi Video-signal Video-signal ground

not be available.
3.4. Switching to internal DVB-T, AV-source or after-market rear-view camera
In the dvbLOGiC control menu, choose TV to enter internal DVB-T tuner mode, AV to enter
AV-input mode (not available if AV-input is deactivated, see chapter 1.4.2) or REAR CAM to
switch to the dvbLOGiC after-market rear-view camera-input (even if the automatic
switching to the camera input is disabled, see chapter 1.4.1.). After selection the menu will
close automatically and switch to the selected source. The iDrive knob, some multi-function-
steering wheel buttons (MFSW) and some navigation buttons (HU) are now available for
remote functions (see assignment table for iDrive below).
By pressing the iDrive-MENU-button, the system returns to the factory iDrive functions. By
pressing the iDrive knob again, the dvbLOGiC control menu will be re-entered.

3.5. Button assignment table iDrive
The button assignment table shows which functions of dvbLOGiC and additionally connected
devices can be executed by iDrive. Once DVB-T or AV-input mode are activated the iDrive
action in the left column will execute the function described in the corresponding device
column. The function description equals the remote control buttons of the optional
dvbLOGiC remote control or the additional device. On the additional device the writing may
vary (e.g. AV instead of Source).
