CAM-LR8-AD
The CAM-LR8-AD is a camera add on interface that allows you to add an after-
market camera whilst retaining the use of your factory head unit on various Jaguar
and Land Rover vehicles with 10.2” (24:9) monitor with Incontrol Touch Pro Duo
systems (with separate climate control touch panel - see Applications for specic
vehicles). This system is specically designed to add an aftermarket camera to the
OEM system, but can also be used to retain the vehicles factory camera input.
Following the simple installation process the camera image can be automatically
viewed via reverse gear or manually through the vehicle’s controls.
Note: If the interface does not receive the required information via the CAN-Bus, neither the
guidelines or PDC (picture-in-picture) functionality will be supported. Interface only codes
video signals. Compatible with NTSC video sources only.
Read the manual prior to installation. Technical knowledge is necessary for installation.
The place of installation must be free of moisture and away from heat sources. Please
ensure you use the correct tools to avoid damage to the vehicle or product.

Located on the front left of the interface are a row of 8 dipswitches. Below is a list of
the various functions that they perform:
Dipswitches on Interface Front
*additionally DIP 1 will require the red ACC wire connecting during installation. When enabled, this will allow
the front camera to automatically switch after disengaging the reverse gear and showcase for 10 seconds.

1. Connect the CAM-LR8-AD’s male 10-pin connector to the vehicles
original female connector.
2. Connect the 10-pin molex on the harness to the CAM-LR8-AD interface.
3. Disconnect the original monitors pre-existing LVDS connection and connect
it to the port on the interface marked “HU IN”.
4. Take the LVDS extension cable found within the kit and reconnect this
between the original monitor and the port on the interface marked “TO LCD”.
5. Once all connections are established (including the interface wiring)
connect the new male 10-pin connector to the head unit.

Located on the rear left of the interface are 4 dipswitches that deal with the CAN
data. Below is a list of the various functions that they perform:

Jaguar vehicles OFF OFF OFF OFF
Land Rover vehicles ON OFF OFF OFF
NOTE: if the CAN communication doesn’t succed, try the other CAN protocol. You will need to
reset power to the interface after any change to any of the dipswitches.

Connecting Interface & Harnesses
NOTE: misuse of the LVDS connections could result in damage to the original system. Do not
mix up the connections between “HU IN” and “TO LCD”. When testing the connection, always
make sure the monitor is connected to avoid system malfunctions.

Connecting Aftermarket Video Sources
INSTALLATION
1. Connect the CAM-LR8-AD’s analogue power supply to the interface box.
*If no LED on the interface lights up with ignition on, then the purple wire (Manual ACC)
will need to be connected to terminal 86 12V (e.g. glove box illumination).
2. When connecting of a rear view camera to the CAM-LR8-AD, connect the
cameras RCA connection to the “Reverse (V4)” RCA on the harness.
3. If the video interface receives a signal of reverse gear, then leave the green
“In” & “Out” wires connected so that the interface is able to automatically
switch to the rear-view when reverse gear is engaged. If the interface does not
deliver a source of 12V via the CAN-Bus, then the “Reverse In” wire will need to
be connected to a source of reverse (ideally the reverse light).
4. When connecting a front view camera to the CAM-LR8-AD, connect the
cameras RCA connection to the “Front (V3)” RCA on the harness.
Note: the red “ACC/front cam” needs to be connected and DIP 1 turned on (see Page 2).
5. The “Left (V1)” & “Right (V2)” RCA connections can then be used to connect
alternate video sources (DVD, DVBT etc.)
Note: this interface is only able to insert video signals, not audio. If an audio source is
connected, the audio will need to be routed via means of the factory AUX input or an
FM-modulator (sold separately).
6. Connect the external keypad via the 4-pin molex connector to the harness.
By pressing the button you are able to switch through any enabled sources like
so:
Factory video → Video IN 1 → Video IN 2 →Factory video
Note: dependent on vehicle, you are able to switch the video view through holding the
top left of the touch screen. If not, the keypad is able to switch modes by long press. A
short press of either will switch between the front camera and selected source.

selected/engaged, press the ‘Menu’ button to view a list of settings that are
able to alter the brightness, contrast and look of the video source. Below are a
list of the following settings that are available:
•Contrast - 0 to 100 Contrast level
•Brightness - 0 to 100 Brightness level
•Saturation - 0 to 100 Saturation level
•Position H - No function
•Position V - No function
•IR-AV1/2 - No function
•Guide L/R - No function
•UI-CNTRL - Guidelines ON/OFF
•Size H/V - No function
Note: if there is no communication between the interface and the vehicle’s CAN-Bus, the reverse
guidelines cannot be shown during operation.
