1.3.1. Video Interface
The video-interface converts the connected after-market sources video signals into a LVDS
signal which is inserted in the factory monitor using separate trigger options. Further it reads
the vehicle’s digital signals out of the vehicle’s CAN-bus and converts them for the video
interface.
1.4. Settings of the 8 Dip switches (black)
Some settings must be selected by the dip-switches on the
video interface. Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.

1.4.1.1. Enabling the interface’s video inputs (dip 2-3)
Only the enabled video inputs can be accessed by switching through the interface’s video
sources. It is recommended to enable only the required inputs. So the disabled inputs will be
skipped while switching through the video interfaces inputs.
1.4.1.2. Vehicle specific settings (Dip 4)
Set Dip switch 4 to ON for Audi TT vehicles. For all other vehicles it has to be set to OFF.
1.4.1.3. Rear-view camera setting (dip 5)
If set to OFF, the interface switches to factory LVDS picture while the reverse gear is engaged
to display factory rear-view camera or factory optical park system picture.
If set to ON, the interface switches to its rear-view camera input while the reverse gear is
engaged.
1.4.1.4. Monitor selection (Dip 6-8)
Dips 6-8 customize the monitor-specific video settings which sometimes even vary within
head units of the same version, caused by different monitor specifications. It is necessary to
try all possible combinations while a working video source is connected to the chosen input
of the interface. One of the six combinations will show the best picture size and quality
(some may give no picture). It is possible to first hot plug through the dip combinations. If
there is no change of picture visible after trying all 6 options, retry and disconnect the 10pin
plug of the Quadlock connector between every change of the dip setting.

After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Can-box has to be performed!
2. Installation
To install the interface, first switch off the ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery.
Please read the owner`s manual of the car, regarding the battery`s disconnection! If
required, enable the car`s Sleep-mode (hibernation mode)
In case the sleep-mode does not succeed, the disconnection of the battery can be done
with a resistor lead.
If the necessary stabilized power supply for the interface is not taken directly from the
battery, the chosen connection has to be checked for being constantly stabile.
The interface needs a permanent 12V source!
2.1. Place of installation
The interface is built to be connected behind the vehicle`s head-unit.

cable to the video-interface’s male 8pin connector.
Disconnect the female 4pin HSD LVDS connector of the vehicle
harness from the rear of the head-unit and connect
it to the male 4pin HSD LVDS connector of the 8pin HSD LVDS cable.
Note: If required, the marked lug of the
female 4pin HSD LVDS connector has to be
cut off! Further, the colour of the female
4pin HSD LVDS connector may vary between
pink and grey, depending on the installed monitor.
Connect female 4pin connector of the 8pin HSD LVDS interface cable to the male 4pin
HSD LVDS connector of the head-unit (colours may vary!).
Remove the female Quadlock connector of the
vehicle harness from the rear of the
head-unit and connect the previously
clipped out white female 12pin
connector (see graphic) to the male
12pin connector of the PNP harness.
Clip in the female 12pin connector of the PNP harness in the previously become free
position of the female Quadlock connector before finishing the Quadlock
reconnection at the rear of the head-unit

2.5. Connecting video sources
It is possible to connect an after-market rear-view camera, an after-market front camera and
an AV source to the video-interface.
Before a final installation of the peripheral devices, we recommend a test-run to ensure
the compatibility of vehicle and interface. Due to changes in the production of the vehicle
manufacturer there’s always a possibility of incompatibility.
Note: The interface cable’s grey coloured IR cable and the audio switch cable are out of
function and should be isolated.
Connect the female 20pin connector of the interface cable to the male 20pin
connector of the video-interface.
Connect the video RCA of the Front camera to the female RCA connector“Video IN1”
of the 20pin interface cable.
Connect the video RCA of the Rear-view camera to the female RCA connector
“camera IN” of the 20pin interface cable (refer also to chapter“Video signal
connection of the rear-view camera”)
Connect the video RCA of the AV source to the female RCA connector”Video IN 2” of
the 20pin interface cable.
optional (when CAN is not used)

Page12
2.5.1. Audio-insertion
This interface is only able to insert video signals into the factory infotainment. If an AV-
source is connected, the audio insertion has to be done by the factory audio AUX input or an
FM-modulator. The inserted video-signal can be activated simultaneously to each audio-
mode of the factory infotainment.
2.5.2. After-market rear-view camera
Some vehicles have a different reverse gear code on the CAN-bus which the video-interface
is not compatible with. In this case there are two different ways of installation. If the video-
interface is able to detect an enabled vehicle’s reverse gear, the green wire of the 6pin to
12pin cable should carry +12V while the reverse gear is engaged.
Note: Do not forget to set video interface’s dip5 to ON before testing.
2.5.2.1. Case 1: CAN-box receives the reverse gear signal
If the interface delivers +12V on the green output wire of the20pin interface cable while
reverse gear is engaged, the video interface will automatically switch to the rear-view
camera input “Camera IN” while the reverse gear is engaged.
Additionally, the +12V power supply for the rear-view camera can be
taken from the red ACC-out wire of the interface connection cable.

Page13
2.5.2.2. Case 2: CAN-box does not receive the reverse gear signal
If the video interface does not deliver +12V on the green wire of the20pin cable when
reverse gear is engaged (not all vehicles are compatible), an external switching signal from
the reverse gear light is required. As the reverse gear light’s power supply isn’t voltage-
Disconnect the green cable’s preconnected male- and female connectors of the 20pin
cable and connect the green input cable “Reverse-IN” to the output connector (87) of
the relay.
Note: Not least to avoid short circuits, the best solution should be, to crimp a male
4mm connector to the relay’s output cable and connect it to the green cable’s female
4mm connector. The output-cable “Reverse-OUT” remains disconnected as it’s out of
function.
Connect the Reverse light’s power-cable to coil (85) and the vehicle’s ground to coil
(86) of the relay.
Connect the output connector (87) of the relay to the rear-view camera’s power-
cable, like you did it to the green “Reverse-IN” cable before.
Connect permanent power / 12V to the relay’s input connector (30).
is required. The diagram below shows the connection type of the relay.

2.7. Picture settings and guide lines
The picture settings are adjustable by the 3 push-buttons on the video-interface. Press the
MENU button to open the OSD settings menu or to switch to the next menu item. Press UP
and DOWN to change the selected value. The buttons are placed inside in the housing to
avoid accidental changes during or after the installation. Picture settings must be done
separately for AV1 and AV2 while the corresponding input is selected and visible on the
monitor.
Note: The OSD menu is only shown when a working video source is connected to the
selected video-input of the interface.
The following settings are available:
