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.
