distracted. We do not accept any liability for material damage or personal injury resulting,
directly or indirectly, from installation or operation of this product. This product should only
be used while standing or to display fixed menus or rear-view-camera video when the
vehicle is moving, for example the MP3 menu for DVD upgrades.
Changes/updates of the vehicle’s software can cause malfunctions of the interface. We
offer free software-updates for our interfaces for one year after purchase. To receive a free
update, the interface must be sent in at own cost. Labour cost for and other expenses
involved with the software-updates will not be refunded.
1. Prior to installation
Read the manual prior to installation.
Technical knowledge is necessary for installation. The place of installation has to be free of

Limitations
Video only The interface inserts ONLY video signals into the infotainment.
For inserting Audio signals either the possibly existing factory audio-AUX-input or
a FM-modulator can be used.
In case that 2 AV sources shall be connected, a desired audio switching will
require additional electronic.
Factory rear-view camera Automatically switching-back from inserted video to factory rear-view camera is
only possible while the reverse gear is engaged. To delay the switch-back an
additional electronic part is required.
After market front camera The front camera will automatically be switched for 10 seconds after disengaging
the reverse gear. A manually front camera switching is possible by external
keypad.

1.3. connectors - video-interface
The video-interface (daughter PCB) converts the video signals of connected after-market
sources in a factory monitor compatible picture signal which is inserted in the factory
monitor, by using separate trigger options.

1.5. Dip-switch settings
1.5.1. 8 dip - black
Some settings have to be selected by the dip-switches on the
video interface.
Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.
*The front camera will automatically be switched for 10 seconds after disengaging the
reverse gear 8see following information).
1.5.1.1. Activating the front camera input (dip 1)
If set to ON, the interface switches for 10 seconds from the rear-view camera to the front
camera input after having disengaged the reverse gear. In addition, a manual switch-over to
the front camera input is possible via keypad (short press) from any image mode.
Description of the front camera power supply: see chapter “Power supply output”.
1.5.1.2. Enabling the interface’s video inputs (dip 2-3)
Only the enabled video inputs can be accessed when switching through the interface’s video
sources. It is recommended to enable only the required inputs, disabled inputs
will be skipped when switching through the video-interfaces inputs.
1.5.1.3. Rear-view camera setting (dip 5)
If set to OFF, the interface switches to factory picture while the reverse gear is engaged to
display factory rear-view camera.
If set to ON, the interface switches to its rear-view camera input „Camera-IN“ while the
reverse gear is engaged.

1.5.1.4. Monitor size (dip 7 and dip 8)
Dip 7 and 8 are for monitor-specific video settings which cannot be predicted as even within
the same head-unit version, the monitor specifications may vary. It is necessary to try all
possible combinations (both OFF, both ON, 7 OFF and 8 ON, 7 ON and 8 OFF) - while a
working video source is connected to the chosen input of the interface - to see which
combination gives the best picture quality and size (some may give no picture). It is possible
to first hot plug through the dip combinations, but if you do not experience any change of
picture after trying all 4 options, retry and disconnected the 6pin power plug of the video-
box between every change of the dip setting.
Note: Dip 4 and dip6 are out of function and have to be set to OFF.
After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Video Interface has to be performed!
1.5.2. 4 dip - red
By using the Dip-switches, the factory Head-unit or vehicle can be chosen which the
interface will be connected to.
Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.

2. Installation
Switch off ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery! The interface needs a permanent
12V source. If according to factory rules disconnecting the battery is to be avoided, it is
usually sufficient to put the vehicle to “Sleep-Mode”. In case it does not succeed,
disconnect the battery with a resistor lead.
If power source is not taken directly from the battery, the connection has to be checked
for being start-up proven and permanent.
2.1. Place of installation
The video interface is designated to be connected behind the vehicle`s head unit.
The daughter PCB shell be connected inside the factory head unit’s monitor and installed
behind the monitor panel, or below the DIN housing (e.g. Skoda Rapid).

2.3. Installation –VW and Seat
Remove the factory monitor and open it`s housing. The daughter PCB is built to be installed
into the optical lead between the monitor panel and mainboard of the vehicles monitor.
