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.
Video input signal Only NTSC video sources compatible.
1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories
1.3. connectors - video-interface (daughter PCB)
The video-interface 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
The daughter PCB shell be installed and connected inside the factory Monitor housing.

2.3. Installation - ribbon cables into the monitor panel
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.

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. Cable connection –daughter PCB
Connect the 6pin interface cable’s 6pin connector and the menu pushbutton cable’s
4pin connector to the 6pin and 4pin connectors of the daughter PCB.
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.
