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. 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.

Limitations
Video only The interface inserts ONLY video signals into the infotainment.
For audio insertion factory-audio-AUX-input or a FM-modulator is required.
Factory rear-view camera Automatic switch to factory rear-view camera only while reverse gear is
engaged. To delay the switch reset, additional electronics is required.
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.

1.3. Connectors –Video interface (daughter PCB)
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.
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
Both daughter PCB shell be installed and connected inside the head unit’s housing by using
one of the delivered exchange metal plates.

2.3.1. Warning notes, concerning the installation of ribbon cables
1) The contacting ends of ribbon cables always have to be installed in a straight and precise
180° position to the connector. Each deviation from a perfect contact position will curse
faulty contact and even danger of short circuit
2) The ribbon cable’s contacting side always has to correspond to the contacting side of the
connector, concerning the mounting position.

2.4. Connection –6pin interface cable
Connect the 6pin interface cable’s 6pin connector to the 6pin connector of the
daughter PCB 1.
Connect the 6pin interface cable’s single red colored wire to S-Contact terminal 86s
+12V (e.g. glove compartment illumination).
Connect the 6pin interface cable’s single green colored wire to +12V reverse signal
(see following chapter).
Connect the 6pin interface cable’s black wire to vehicle Ground.

2.5. After-market rear-view camera:
To switch the interface’s rear-view camera input, an external switching signal from the
reverse gear light is required. As the reverse gear light signal contains electronic
interference, a traditional open relay (e.g AC-RW-1230 with wiring AC-RS5) or filter (e.g. AC-
PNF-RVC) is required. Below schema shows the use of a relay (normally open).
Connect the single green colored wire and the rear-view
camera’s power both to the relay’s terminal (87).
Connect the reverse light’s power to the relay’s coil
terminal (85).
Connect permanent power to the relay’s input terminal (30).
Connect vehicle’s ground to the relay’s coil terminal
(86).
