4. Replace the lower dash panel (with iDrive knob) back to sub-dash.
5. Disconnect the OEM screen LVDS video cable and connect it to the port on the BMW12-N
labeled ‘LCD-IN’.
6. Connect the provided LVDS Video Cable to the port on the BMW12-N labeled ‘LCD-OUT’ and
the other end back to the screen.
7. Install and run the reverse camera video source power and signal to the BMW12-N interface
location and connect to the RCA labeled ‘CAMERA’. Power your camera with an ACC source
(cigarette lighter) or use the violet wire to trigger a relay for reverse 12v (+) only.
NOTE: using the purple wire directly to power your camera is not recommended due to potential
current issues (iDRIVE power has only 3 amp fuse).
NOTE2: If this vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, chances are the module will not
switch using CAN data –if this is the case, run a reverse signal from the reverse light through a
relay to the green wire on the module for reverse switching.
8. Optional: If installing a secondary camera or AUX video source, connect signal RCA to the
RCA on the BMW12-N interface labeled ‘AVIN’.
7. After DIP switch settings have been set (see page 2), connect the 24-PIN power connector to
the BMW12-N interface labeled ‘POWER CAN’. Proceed to Menu Options section if necessary
(front camera settings, etc) or to BMW12-N Operation.
