tool, disconnect all harnesses connected to this panel and set it aside.
2. Remove any screws securing the radio. Remove the radio from the dashboard and
disconnect any harnesses. Set the radio aside.
3. Remove the upper media screen. This
usually requires removing (2x) Torx
screws firing up into the screen hood, or
(2x) Torx screws securing the bottom
corners of the screen.
4. Pull the media screen from the
dashboard. Disconnect the power/CAN
harness and the LVDS cable.

6. Connect the provided LVDS video cable to the LVDS connector on the
media screen. Run the other end of the cable to where you plan to
secure the BMW09 interface. Plug the free end of this cable into
the port labeled ‘LCD-OUT’. If there is no space behind/beneath
the radio for the interface, drop the glove box on the pass side and secure it to a flat
surface close to the radio dash opening with Velcro.
7. Run the factory LVDS video cable from the BMW09 port labeled ‘LCD-IN’ to the radio
dash opening (it will connect to the radio’s LVDS connector later).
8. Connect the AV Input cable to the port on the BMW09 interface labeled ‘AV IN/OUT’. If
you’re only connecting a reverse camera (and no other
inputs), the signal input from the camera must connect
to the RCA labeled ‘REAR-C’. Refer to the dip-
switch settings chart to skip/enable AV sources
upon toggle switch presses (optional. Page 2).
a. If you’re installing a Nav-TV
CAM 6 or Handle Cam as
well, the power connector
plugs directly into the
BMW09 interface port
labeled ‘R-CAM’.
9. Optional: Connect the remote eye to the port labeled ‘IR’ and
leave it in clear view of the driver (often it can be stuck inside a
vent). This connection would be necessary if you want to be able
to adjust anything from the BMW09 interface’s menu.
a. While in any AV mode other than factory (on the display
screen), press the MENU button for Menu 1 , or hold the
left arrow to enter MENU 2.
b. To switch between AV modes, press the ‘OK’ button.
10. Optional: Connect the provided momentary toggle switch to the
port on the BMW09 interface labeled ‘MODE’. Pressing this switch with the ignition on
will cycle the screen modes as follows: factory screen >
NAVI (RGB) > AV1 > AV2 > AV3 > factory screen.

11. Connect the BMW09 Power/CAN Harness to the interface at the port labeled ‘POWER’.
Start the car and test for proper functionality before replacing dash pieces. Note: If
you’re certain your connections are proper and you still get no reverse activation, see
Figure 1 (below) on this page.
12. Note: All other included harnesses not mentioned in this manual are not needed for most
installations. If you would like to know more about the full capability of this interface,
contact NAV-TV tech support at 561-955-9770. Additional features not mentioned in this
manual are not supported by NAV-TV at this time.
Figure 1
If CAN data does not automatically activate reverse:
1. Disconnect the main POWER/CAN connector from the BMW09 interface. Remove one of
the CAN wires with a straight pick (green or orange).
2. Cut the removed wire from the rest of the harness.
3. Insert the removed CAN wire into pin location 7 (picture above, right)
4. Supply this wire with 12v when in reverse (reverse light 12v +)
5. Adjust menu setting to activate reverse with lamp instead of the default CAN (page 4,
step 9)
6. Reconnect POWER/CAN harness and test for proper functionality.

FAQs
Q. I cannot switch A/V sources.
A. Check IR or toggle switch connection. Check the LEDs on the interface, if nothing is lit
up with vehicle ignition, check power/ground connections.
Q. All I see on the display is a black screen (no factory image pass-through).
A. Make sure the video cables (IN/OUT) are connected at the proper location
(Screen/Radio/NAV DRIVE).
B. Make sure the video cables are seated all the way.
C. Make sure Dip Switches 5 & 6 are set correctly (resolution or screen size).
Q. Displayed image color is not proper (too dim or color seems wrong).
A. Try to select ‘INITIAL’ in OSD menu.
Q. Rear camera image does NOT appear.
A. Make certain Dip Switch #7 in set down for aftermarket camera, or up for a factory
camera.
B. Try swapping the CAN connection wires. This will not do damage, if it is hooked up
wrong it will only not work.
C. Make certain the camera is properly powered. Check voltage at the camera itself.
D. Try an alternative video source, don’t assume the power/ground is correct unless
you’ve checked it with a multi-meter!
E. If this is a CAN-connected module and you’ve connected the CAN wires, try using the
gray wire (not all interfaces have this wire!) instead of the CAN connection for reverse
activation. You’ll also need to change the Rear Select option in the Menu of Factory (MENU 2)
under UTIL or PARK. Refer to the Menu Adjustments section.
Q. Unwanted A/V mode is displayed upon a toggle press (A/V source switching order:
OEM->RGB->AV1->AV2->AV3->OEM).
A. Check DIP Switch Setting. Refer to page 2.
