1.3. Setting the dip switches of the CAN-box TV-436
1.4. Setting the dip switches of the USB-box USBC-M536
The default dip switch settings of the USB-box
need to be changed ONLY if a rear-view camera is
or shall be connected or if the AV-input of the
usbLOGiC shall be deactivated. The dip switches are
located inside the USB-box. For changes it is
necessary to open the box. Default settings are:
dip1 = ON, dip2 = OFF, dip3 = ON
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 usbLOGiC to
automatically switch to its camera input, when reverse is engaged
set dip2 = ON (up).

1.4.2. Deactivating usbLOGiC AV input
If no peripheral AV-source shall be connected to the usbLOGiC, 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 usbLOGiC,
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.

2.2. Installation of USB-box USBC-M536
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 video lead (red/colored - video signal, black - video ground) has to be removed from the
white insert of C2C-BMW02. The white insert is not needed for E65/E66 installation.
Connect video lead of C2C-BMW02 to green 18-pin AMP connector
Video-signal (red) to chamber 3 of the green 18-pin AMP connector
Video-ground (black) to chamber 11 of the green 18-pin AMP connector
Remove fibre optics from black 20-pin plug and connect them as shown below. Then
reconnect the fibre optics in the black 20-pin connector and connect the MOST to the USB-
box USBC-M536.

2.3. USB and optional IR-remote control set
Connect USB-connector of USB-installation socket USBC-EXT to USB-socket of USB-
box USBC-M536 and install the USBC-EXT socket in a well accessible location, e.g. the
glove-box. Make sure there is enough space to load USB-media.
Installation socket for the connection of USB-media.
The USB-IRSET consists of the external C3C-SENSOR IR-sensor and the USBC-RC IR-
remote control and can be used to control the usbLOGiC’s internal USB 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.
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 usbLOGiC. Also factory nightvision, factory DVD-changer or
factory rear-view camera must be connected to the usbLOGiC.
Before final installation of the peripheral devices, we recommend to test-run the usbLOGiC
functions to detect incompatibility of vehicle, navigation, factory accessories or peripheral
devices as soon as possible.

Version 25.01.2012 USB-E65
Page9
2.4.1. AV-source
The usbLOGiC 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 USB-box
USBC-M536 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 25.01.2012 USB-E65

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 USB-box USBC-M536.
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 usbLOGiC mode.
2.4.4. After-market rear-seat-entertainment
Using RCA-cables, connect the rear-seat-entertainment to the female RCA-connector
VIDEO OUT of USB-box USBC-M536.
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.

Version 25.01.2012 USB-E65

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 green 18pin AMP connector of the
vehicles harness (rear of navigation computer) and connect them by male RCA-connector to
the R-CAM IN of USB-box.

input”) or REAR CAM to switch to the usbLOGiC after-market rear-view camera-input (even if
the automatic switching to the camera input is disabled, see chapter “Automatic switching
to rear-view camera”). 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).

3.5. Button assignment table iDrive
The button assignment table shows which functions of usbLOGiC and additionally connected
devices can be executed by iDrive. Once USB 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
usbLOGiC remote control or the additional device. On the additional device the writing may
vary (e.g. AV instead of Source).
