3. 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.
Place of installation is on rear of the head-unit.
3.1. Interconnecting CAN-Box, harness and factory navigation monitor
Connect female 8pin Molex connector of harness RLC-POR03 to male 8pin Molex
connector of CAN-box RLC-TV521.
Transfer female Quadlock connector of vehicle harness from rear of the head-unit
into male Quadlock connector of harness RLC-POR03.
Plug female Quadlock connector of harness RLC-POR03 into male Quadlock
connector on the rear of the head-unit.

3.2. Connections to rear-view camera
Connect the video RCA of the rear-view camera to the female RCA connector of
harness RLC-POR03.
Connect the green cable of harness RLC-POR03 to the camera power supply (+12V
max 400mA). The green cable is high when reverse gear is engaged (if ignition is off,
too). The power will be deactivated from a speed of 20 km/h.

3.3. Coding of the rear-view camera (only PCM3.1)
It is necessary to code the rear-view camera input of the PCM 3.1 to use it for an after-
market rear-view camera.
1. Turn on ignition
2. Wait until the head-unit has booted
3. Press and hold steering-wheel button HASH KEY/MODE
4. Press and hold steering-wheel button ACCEPT (observe the sequence!)
5. Hold both buttons. During configuration the red and
blue LED are blinking short inside the CAN-box (visible
at the male 8pin Molex connector). The PCM makes a
reset after 5-10 sec.
6. Disengage both steering-wheel buttons
7. The red and the blue LED inside the CAN-Box are
glowing and the menu „Rear-view camera“ appears in
the menu OPTION after a successful coding
3.3.1. Decoding of the rear-view camera (only PCM3.1)
It is possible to decode the coding of the rear-view camera input as follows:
1. Turn on ignition
2. Wait until the head-unit has booted
3. Press and hold steering-wheel button HASH KEY/MODE
4. Press and hold steering-wheel button HANG UP (observe the sequence!)
5. Hold both buttons. During configuration the red and blue LED are blinking inside the
CAN-box (visible at the male 8pin Molex connector). The PCM makes a reset after 5-
10 sec.
6. Disengage both steering-wheel buttons
7. The red and the blue LED inside the CAN-Box are glowing and the menu „Rear-view
camera“ disappears in the menu OPTION after a successful decoding

It is necessary to code the ParkAssistant of the PCM 3.1 to retrofit factory PDC.
1. Turn on ignition
2. Wait until the head-unit has booted
3. Press and hold steering-wheel button BACK
4. Press and hold steering-wheel button ACCEPT (observe the sequence!)
5. Hold both buttons. During configuration the red and
blue LED are blinking inside the CAN-box (visible at the
male 8pin Molex connector). The PCM makes a reset
after 5-10 sec.
6. Disengage both steering-wheel buttons
7. The red and the blue LED inside the CAN-Box are
glowing and the menu „ParkAssistant“ appears in the
menu OPTION after a successful coding
3.4.1. Decoding of the ParkAssistant (only PCM3.1)

3.5. Alternatively coding and decoding of rear-view camera and ParkAssistant (e.g. if
steering-wheel buttons not existing, only PCM3.1)
Alternatively to coding by steering-wheel buttons the coding and decoding of rear-view
camera and ParkAssistant can be done by loose white cable in connection with dip 3 and 4 of
CAN-box RLC-TV521.
1. Turn on ignition
2. Wait until the head-unit has booted
3. Set dip 3 and dip 4 of CAN-box (depending on the desired coding/decoding)
4. Put +12V for 5 sec. to the white cable
5. During configuration the red and blue LED are blinking
short inside the CAN-box (visible at the male 8pin Molex
connector). The PCM makes a reset after 5-10 sec.
6. The red and the blue LED inside the CAN-Box are
glowing and the menu „Rear-view camera“ respectively
“ParkAssistant” appears in the menu OPTION after a
successful coding (or disappears after successful
decoding)
Note: After a coding or decoding another coding isn’t possible within the next 60 seconds!
If there are factory-PDC existing in the car you have to set Dip 4 to ON while coding. If not
the factory PDC will be decoded!

2. Wait until the head-unit has booted
3. Set dip 3 of CAN-box (depending on the desired coding/decoding)
4. Put +12V for 5 sec. to the white cable
5. During configuration the red and blue LED are blinking short inside the CAN-box
(visible at the male 8pin Molex connector). The PCM
makes a reset after 5-10 sec.
6. The red and the blue LED inside the CAN-Box are
glowing and the menu „Rear-view camera“ appears in
the menu OPTION after a successful coding (or
disappears after successful decoding)
Note: After a coding or decoding another coding isn’t possible within the next 60 seconds!
4. Activation of the video-in-motion function
With dip1 to ON the video-in-motion function is activated permanently without disturbing
the navigation performance.
