COD-F53 Installation
1. Remove the 8” SYNC 3 screen (radio):
a. Remove the center channel speaker cover on the top (middle)
of the dash (4 clips only) NOTE: this panel is very tight.
b. Remove (2) 7mm bolts securing the top
panel (previously hidden by the speaker
grill).
c. Remove the whole upper shelf panel, it
should be held in by clips only, now.
Disconnect the speaker lead. Set this
panel assembly aside.
d. Remove (2) 7mm screws on top of the climate/screen dash
panel, and then pull panel straight towards you. Disconnect
all harnesses and set the panel aside.
e. Remove (6) 7mm screws securing the screen (APIM) to
the sub-dash. Disconnect all harnesses and set the
APIM aside.
f. NOT SHOWN: the IPM (camera module) is bolted to
the sub-dash directly behind the screen with 7mm
screws. Remove it to connect the T-Harness properly.
Do not attempt to connect to the IPM while it is still
connected to the sub-dash.

2. Connect the provided T-Harnesses between the vehicle harness and the APIM (screen), and
from the vehicle harness and the OEM camera module (directly behind screen).
3. The COD-F53 input triggering was designed specifically for the SuperDuty Up-Fitter switches,
but any analog 12v switch will work the same. When adding additional cameras to the COD-F53
module, use INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 for 12v (+) analog triggers for VIDEO 1 (blue) and VIDEO 2
(white) RCAs, respectively. If adding a third camera, both INPUT 1 + 2 powered together
simultaneously will display VIDEO 3 (red) RCA. This allows you to switch 3 different cameras, but
only utilize (2) Up-Fitter switches (of 6 available switches). If using the Up-Fitter switches for
AUX camera triggering, extend a pair of wires (from INPUT 1 & 2) to the driver’s side engine bay,
near the firewall to connect to the
corresponding switch wires.
4. Connect the 18-pin plug to the COD module and secure it in the sub-dash so that nothing
rattles.
5. Return the screen to the sub-dash and reconnect the climate/screen surround panel for testing.
6. Proceed to ‘COD-F53 Operation’.
NOTE: power your
AUX cameras with a
12v ACC source!

COD-F53 NOTES
•SYNC 3 radio must be at least Version 3 for all features to work properly. Under SETTINGS, then
GENERAL SETTINGS, look for the SYNC version. The radio system can be updated over the air if
the vehicle is connected to a local WiFi connection. For more detail information, watch this
video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No8fJ7V21Y8
•The IPM T-Harness (camera module T-harness, smaller one) has delicate pins. If the unit is
acting erratically, reseat this T-Harness after checking for bent pins.
•If your unit came with a USB cable and has a serial number, then it is updateable. If you suspect
the unit needs a software update, connect the module to a Windows PC via USB and go to
www.navtvdevice.com. All updates are available on that web page.
