Legal Information
By law, watching moving pictures while driving is prohibited, the driver must not be
distracted. We do not accept any liability for material damage or personal injury resulting,
directly or indirectly, from installation or operation of this product. Apart from using this
product in an unmoved vehicle, it should only be used 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. Up to
one year after purchase we offer free software-updates for our interfaces. To receive a free
update, the interface has to be sent in at own cost. Wages for de-and reinstallation and
other expenditures 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 must be free of moisture and away from heat sources.
1.1. Delivery contents
Take down the serial number of the interface and store this manual for support
purposes: ____________________

Compatibility
Limitations
Video only The interface inserts ONLY video signals into the infotainment.
For audio inserting, use the possibly existing factory audio-AUX-input
or a FM-modulator. If 2 AV-sources shall be connected to the
infotainment, for audio switching an additional electronic part is
required.
Factory rear-view camera Automatic 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.
Guide lines Displayed guidelines are not available in all vehicles.
1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories
1.3. Connection Video-Interface
The video-interface converts the connected after-market sources video signals into an digital
RGB signal which is inserted in the factory monitor using separate trigger options and it
reads vehicle’s digital signals out of the vehicle’s CAN-bus and converts them for the video
interface.

1.4. Settings of the 8 Dip switches (black)
Some settings have to be selected by the dip-switches on the
video interface.
Dip position down = ON and position up = OFF.
*The front camera will automatically be switched for 10 seconds after disengaging the
reverse gear.
See the following chapters for detailed information.
After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Can-box has to be performed!

1.4.1. Adjustment –power supply output (dip 1)
If set to ON, the video interfaces’ red wire will supply +12V (max 3A) with engaging the
reverse gear and additionally 10 more seconds delay for the time of the front camera’s back-
switching after the reverse gear has been disengaged. Furthermore, the red wire’s power
supply for the front cam becomes active with manually front camera switching (short press
of the external keypad).
If set to OFF, the video interfaces’ red wire will supply permanent +12V ACC (max 3A).
Description of the power supply output: see chapter “Power supply output”.
1.4.2. 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`s recommended to enable only the required inputs for the disabled will be
skipped when switching through the video-interfaces inputs.
1.4.3. Rear-view camera setting (dip 5)
If set to OFF, the interface switches to factory LVDS picture while the reverse gear is engaged
to display factory rear-view camera or factory optical park system picture.
If set to ON, the interface switches to its rear-view camera input “Camera-IN” while the
reverse gear is engaged.
1.4.4. Activating –front camera back-switching (dip 6)
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.
(Attend to correct adjustment of the power supply output (dip1)!
Note: Dip 4, 7 and 8 are out of function and have to be set to OFF.
1.5. Settings of the 4 Dip switches (CAN function - red)
Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.

2. Installation
Switch off the ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery! The interface needs a
permanent 12V source. If -according to factory rules- a disconnection of the battery has to
be avoided, it should be sufficient to use the vehicle’s sleep-mode. In case, the sleep-mode
doesn’t succeed, the battery has to be disconnected with a resistor lead.
The Interface needs a permanent power supply! If power isn’t directly taken from the
battery, the connection’s power has to be checked for being start-up proven and
permanent.
2.1. Place of installation
2.1.1. Place of installation –video-interface
The video-interface is performed to be installed at the backside of the head-unit.
2.1.2. Place of installation –daughter PCB
The daughter PCB is performed to be installed with an exchange housing plate behind the
head unit’s monitor panel.

2.3. Connections to the head-unit
2.3.1. Installation of the Exchange –retaining plate and the daughter PCB
Remove the head-unit and further remove the
original housing cover plate, which is fixed to the
head-unit housing by 5 Torx screws (T9).
Turn out the 4 screws of the monitor retaining
plate, after carefully unklipping the 66pin and
the 9pin ribbon cables.
Note: The connected ribbon cables have to be
handled with care to avoid each damage of the
sensitive electrical inducters (Refer also to
chapter “Connecting the ribbon cables”)
Remove the Original monitor retaining plate and replace it with the exchange
retaining-plate by using the original screws.

Version 01.04.2022 HW: CAM(V100)/(V32) RL4-R40

After connecting the ribbon cables, the
daughter PCB has to be fixed with its
rearside at the exchange retaining plate
by using the enclosed 2 shorter screws.
Previous ribbon cable connection:
Read the following instructions!
2.3.2. Connecting the ribbon cables
2.3.2.1. Ribbon cable –66pin
Connect the daughter PCB’s pre-assembeled 66pin ribbon cable „IN PCB“ to the previously
become free ribbon cable base of the monitor mainboard (heed the following warning notes!).
