Dip switches
of USB-box
1.4. Setting the dip switches of the USB-box USBC-M500/503
The default dip switch settings of the USB-box
need to be changed ONLY if the AV
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. 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).

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 behind the head-unit and of the camera control-box which is
depending on the vehicle located either underneath the passenger seat, underneath the
center console or above the wheel case of the rear right or left tire (e.g. T5 underneath the
passenger seat, Tiguan rear right, Alhambra rear left). The camera control box has a blue
54pin connector.
Note: A multiple switching to rear-view camera picture by engaging the reverse gear (for
testing) couldn’t be possible! In this case the vehicle must be moved up to 25km/h to
achieve full functionality.

3.3. USB and optional IR-remote control set
Connect USB-connector of USB-installation socket USBC-EXT to USB-socket of USB-
box USBC-M500 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.
3.4. Connecting peripheral devices
It is possible to connect an after-market AV-source and rear-seat-entertainment 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 31.05.2013 USB-MFDx-R1
Page10
3.4.1. 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 (appendix A) 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 C2C-VWR and the IR-port of the AV-source.
Using an RCA-cable, interconnect the female RCA-port AV-IN of the USB-box
USBC-M500/503 with the AV-output of the AV-source.
The pink ACC-output wire (+12V max 1A) of harness C2C-VWR can be connected to
the ACC-input wires of the connected device to switch it on. It carries +12V when the
head-unit is running.
3.4.2. 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 31.05.2013 USB-MFDx-R1
Page11
3.4.3. After-market rear-seat-entertainment
Using RCA-cables, connect the rear-seat-entertainment to the female RCA-connector
VIDEO OUT of USB-box USBC-M500/503.
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.
4. Operation MFD3/RNS510/Trinax/Columbus
4.1. Activation of the video-in-motion function
TV-400/403
The video-in-motion function is activated permanently without disturbing the navigation
performance.

“Deactivating usbLOGiC AV-input”), it is not necessary,
nor possible to assign device controls.
4.5. Remote functions
Remote functions can be executed by steering-wheel buttons, head-unit buttons and touch-
screen.
4.5.1. Previous/next channel/track
To skip to previous or next channel (TV-mode)
or track (DVD/USB/iPod®-modes), use
the arrow buttons in the upper left corner
of the head-unit, the arrow touch-screen
buttons or the UP and DOWN buttons of
the steering-wheel.
4.5.2. Other remote functions
When internal USB or AV-input mode is activated,
enter Senderliste (channel list). The menu which opens
offers a range of commands for the active device.
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).
Select any button to execute the described function on the active AV-source.
Note: The volume of the internal USB can be regulated by the right knob (possible only in
the main menu).

Version 31.05.2013 USB-MFDx-R1
Page14
4.5.3. Menu/setup navigation
To navigate through menu or setup options of the
AV-sources, it is necessary to see their picture/OSD,
which is not possible in the Senderliste (channel list).
Instead, after entering menu/setup, select Extras and
then V-Text.
Now menu navigation is possible by the
arrow buttons in the upper left corner
of the head-unit (left/right)
and touch-screen:
Arrow up = UP, Arrow down = DOWN
Stopp = back/return/exit
Zoom = OK/Enter
Note: Left/right can also be used to adjust the preset volume of the internal USB to match it
to the volume of the OEM modes.

5.3. Switching between internal USB and AV-input
After selecting the usbLOGiC as current AV source, push the right knob for 3 seconds to
switch between DVB-T and AV-input. Repeat to switch back.
Note: If the AV-input is deactivated (see chapter “Deactivating usbLOGiC AV-input”), it is not
possible to switch to the usbLOGiC’s AV-input AV-IN.
5.4. Assigning device control for connected AV-source
After selecting the usbLOGiC as current AV source, switch to the usbLOGiC’s
AV-input. Now longpress number key “1”. The MFD will display “TV 2” and
“RC01”. Turn right knob until the device-related IR-code as described in
device control table (appendix A) is reached. Push right knob to confirm
the assignment.
If the vehicle has no MFD display in the instrument panel (for example in case of retrofitted
navigation systems), you must count the notches when turning the knob (to the right +1, to
the left -1). At the same time, remember that the starting point is channel RC01 (the first
notch to the right is then already RC02).
Note: If the AV-input is deactivated (see chapter “Deactivating usbLOGiC AV-input”), it is not
necessary, nor possible to assign device controls.
