5. Remove the screen from the dashboard. The
following instructions are for the 2015 C-Class,
other vehicles may be similar.
a. Using a plastic pry tool, pry up the speaker
grill above the monitor on the top dash.
b. There are (2x) Torx T20 screws that secure
the monitor to the dash (firing downwards).
Remove these and the monitor assembly will
pull straight out (you may need a magnet to
prevent the screws from falling into the
dash).
6. Disconnect all harnesses from the monitor and set it aside. Similarly to step 3 & 4,
connect the (power) plug & play harness to the screen, from the blue connector
(previously connected to the screen).
7. Locate the OEM, typically Dark Blue,4-pin round connector (LVDS) that was removed
from the radio in step 1 from the port on the radio labeled ‘DISP’. Connect this factory
plug to the W205-N RVC interface at the port labeled ‘VIDEO OUT’.
NOTE: If there is no dark blue LVDS video plug present, use the cable that makes the OEM
screen disappear when unplugged (while radio is on).
NOTE: You may have to shave the keyway of the OEM connector to fit it into the female
side of this connector for some vehicles.

be set upon installation. See MENU Settings on page 7.

The only setting most users will need for the AV OSD Menu
is located under ‘SET’.
SET –FRON CAM must be turned on if adding a front
camera and the user wishes for automatic front camera
switching.
Options for 5, 7, 9 or 11 seconds are user selectable for the
length of time the front camera input stays active once the
vehicle is placed out of reverse (OEM similar).
If the user wants only an AUX video input (not front
camera), leave this option ‘OFF’ and use DIP SWITCH 2 for
adding AUX Video input.
