Smart-Link Installation
Smart-Link was designed to be as flexible as possible (for 12v systems) and is adaptable for use with two
different screen (input) types. Below are all Input, Output & system control options available. All functions
are simultaneously available.
General INPUT (& controlling options):
1. 4-wire resistive touch panel ribbon input (OS has built-in calibration programming)
2. Factory touch screen via UART (HDMI connection) –vehicle specific, must be combined with an
additional NAV-TV module for best functionality (see chart pg 2) NOTE: if touch does not function over
HDMI cable, you must use the provided TOUCH (ribbon cable) connection to the interface (provided
with interface kit).
3. Controller knob (custom fabrication recommended for best result)
4. Microphone (for BT phone calls & controlling SmartPhone via specific voice commands)
5. Camera input (only used in a universal application –ie, no source unit switching is available)
General OUTPUT (AV output):
1. Low resolution composite video (yellow RCA)
2. High definition Digi-RGB (HDMI connection –connects to proprietary NAV-TV module, see chart pg 2)
3. Low-Level Audio stereo output (red & white RCAs) –global audio output –connects to AUX input
(NOTE: Installer is
Power Connections:
1. Black wire: connect to ground (-)
2. Yellow wire: connect to constant 12v (+)
3. Red wire: connect to ACC 12v (+)
Other required connections:
1. Once you have good secure placement for the Smart-Link device, connect the provided BT and WIFI
antennas to the ports on the side of the unit and try to stick the antenna side as close to the passenger
compartment as possible, preferably with no metal is blocking the antenna (from smartphone). NOTE:
these antennas are the same and therefore can be connected to either port.
2. Audio output should be determined by the installer –the Smart-Link unit provides global low-level
audio output via Red & White RCAs, connect to an existing vehicle AUX input (may require adapter).
NOTE: if no AUX input is available, contact NAV-TV for options.
3. Follow one of the connection guides on pages 4-6 choosing input & output type for control and video.
