1.4.1. Automatic switching to rear-view camera
If an after-market rear-view camera shall be connected, in order
for the usbLOGiC to automatically switch to its camera input
on engaged reverse gear,
set dip2 = ON (up).
Note: With after-market cameras, automatic switching works only from usbLOGiC mode.
For automatic switching from OEM modes, it is necessary to code the head-unit to rear-view
camera per diagnosis computer.
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).

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.
3.1. Interconnecting USB-box, CAN-box and harnesses
Plug harness C3C-AV into 6pin Molex of USB-box USBC-M500.
Plug harness C3C-RNSE into 8pin Molex of CAN-box TV-400.
Plug harness C3C-RNSE into 14pin Molex of USB-box USBC-M500.
Plug female 18pin AMP-connector of C3C-RNSE into male 18pin AMP-socket of
USB-box USBC-M500.

Version 24.02.2012 USB-RNSE

3.2. Connections to head-unit
Remove the head-unit from the dash-board.
Transfer female Quadlock connector from the back of the head-unit to male
Quadlock connector of harness C3C-RNSE.
Plug female Quadlock connector of C3C-RNSE into male Quadlock socket of
head-unit.
Plug female 32pin AMP-connector of C3C-RNSE into male 32pin AMP-socket of head-
unit.
Note: If the 32pin AMP-socket of the head-unit is already occupied, the vehicle probably has
a factory rear-view camera or a factory TV-tuner. In case of a factory tuner, it must be
uninstalled: disconnect the female 32pin AMP-connector of the factory harness and
disconnect all wires from the factory TV-tuner. In case of a factory rear-view camera you
have ordered/received the wrong product, call for support.

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, after-market rear-view camera 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 24.02.2012 USB-RNSE
Page9
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 C3C-RNSE 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 with the AV-output of the AV-source.
The pink ACC-output wire (+12V max 1A) of harness C3C-RNSE 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.

3.4.3. After-market rear-view camera
Connect the video RCA of the after-market rear-view camera to female
RCA connector R-CAM IN of USB-box USBC-M500.
Connect the green wire of C3C-RNSE to the camera power supply (+12V max. 1A)
The green wire is high (+12V) when reverse gear is engaged. Connect the loose
white-brown wire of the female Quadlock connector of harness C3C-RNSE to the
green wire of harness C3C-RNSE, too.
Note: Only compatible with NTSC-cameras.
Automatic switching on reverse gear from OEM mode to camera input only works
after coding the head-unit per diagnosis computer (Only possible on RNS-E with
minimum software 550 and till year 2010).
If coding is done by diagnosis PC, code rear-view camera to value 1 in channel 04,
controller 56. After coding the vehicles needs to be locked for at least 66 minutes to
reach general sleep mode.

Version 24.02.2012 USB-RNSE

3.4.4. After-market rear-seat-entertainment
Using RCA-cables, connect the rear-seat-entertainment to the female RCA-connector
VIDEO OUT of USB-box USBC-M500.
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
4.1. Activation of the video-in-motion function
The video-in-motion function is activated by long-pressing the “next track” button when in
TV-mode. As confirmation, the head-unit’s button illumination will blink a few times slowly.
Repeat to deactivate, confirmation are a few fast blinks. While the video-in-motion function
is active, the navigation will not work. After ACC is switched off, the video-in-motion
function will be automatically deactivated.
4.2. Selecting the usbLOGiC as current AV-source
Push the CD/TV button of the head-unit to choose
the usbLOGiC as current AV-source.
4.3. Switching between internal USB and AV-input
After selecting the usbLOGiC as current AV source,
long-press the knob to switch between internal USB (AV1)
and AV-IN (AV2).
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 (AV2).

Version 24.02.2012 USB-RNSE
Page12
4.4. Assigning device control for connected AV-source
After selecting the usbLOGiC as current AV source, switch to the usbLOGiC’s AV-input. Now
longpress key SETUP. The FIS 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.
Note: If the AV-input is deactivated (see chapter “Deactivating usbLOGiC AV-input”), it is not
necessary, nor possible to assign device controls.
4.5. Remote functions
The button assignment table shows which functions of usbLOGiC and additionally connected
devices can be executed by head-unit buttons. Once USB or AV-input mode is activated, the
head-unit button 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).
