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
video interface’s place of installation must be free of moisture and away from heat sources.
Before the final installation in the vehicle of the video sources, we recommend a test-run
to ensure the compatibility of vehicle and interface. Due to changes in the production of
the vehicle manufacturer there’s always a possibility of incompatibility.
1.1. Delivery contents
Take down the serial number of the interface and store this manual for support
purposes: ____________________

1.3. Boxes and connectors –video interface
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. Further it reads the vehicle’s digital signals out of the vehicle’s CAN-bus and
converts them for the video interface.
1.4. Settings of the 4 Dip switches
The 4 dip-switches of the video are used to select the kind and choice of
the factory head-unit.
Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.
After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the video interface has to be performed!

2. Installation
To install the interface, first switch off the ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery.
Please read the owner`s manual of the car, regarding the battery`s disconnection! If
required, enable the car`s Sleep-mode (hibernation mode)
In case the sleep-mode does not succeed, the disconnection of the battery can be done
with a resistor lead.
If the necessary stabilized power supply for the interface is not taken directly from the
battery, the chosen connection has to be checked for being constantly stabile.
The interface needs a permanent 12V source!
2.1. Place of installation
The interface is supposed to be installed at a suitable location behind the vehicle`s head-
unit.

2.3. Connection –picture signal cable
Connect the cinch connector of the rear view camera to the
video input connector of the video interface.
Connect the yellow cinch connector of the enclosed
video output cable to the video output connector of the video interface.
Connect the opposite female water-blue Fakra connector
of the enclosed video output cable to the male fakra connector
of the head unit as shown above.

2.4. Connection –10pin Power/CAN cable
Disconnect the female 16pin connector of the factory harness at the rear-side
of the head-unit and connect it to the 10pin PNP power/CAN cable‘s
male 16pin connector.
Connect the 10pin PNP power/CAN cable‘s opposite female 16pin connector to
the previously become free 16pin connector of the head-unit.
Connect the 10pin PNP power/CAN cable‘s 10pin connector
to the 10pin connector of the video interface.
Connect the power supply for the rear view camera to the
10pin PNP power/CAN cable‘s grey cable „Reverse-OUT“.

2.5. After-market rear-view camera
Some vehicles have a different reverse gear code on the CAN-bus which the video-interface
is not compatible with. Therefore, there are two different ways of installation. If the video
interface receives a signal of the reverse gear, the grey coloured wire “Reverse-OUT” should
carry +12V while the reverse gear is engaged.
2.5.1. Case 1: Interface receives the reverse gear signal
If the interface delivers +12V on the grey coloured output wire “Reverse-OUT” of the 10pin
PNP Power/CAN cable while reverse gear is engaged, the video interface will automatically
switch to the rear-view camera input “IN” while the reverse gear is engaged.
If the video interface does not deliver +12V on the grey coloured wire “Reverse-OUT” of the
10pin PNP Power/CAN cable when reverse gear is engaged (not all vehicles are compatible),
an external switching signal from the reverse gear light is required. As the reverse gear
light’s power supply isn’t voltage-stabile all the time, an ordinary open relay (e.g AC-RW-
1230 with wiring AC-RS5) or filter (e.g. AC-PNF-RVC) is required. The following diagram
“Case 2: Interface does not receive the reverse gear signal” shows the connection type of
the relay.

Version 21.10.2022 HW: 25(V21) RL2-LR14
Page11
2.5.2. Case 2: Interface does not receive the reverse gear signal
Connect the blue coloured input cable “Reverse-IN” to the output connector (87) of
the relay.
Note: The grey coloured output-cable “Reverse-OUT” remains disconnected as it’s
out of function.
Connect the Reverse light’s power-cable to coil (85) and the vehicle’s ground to coil
(86) of the relay.
Connect the output connector (87) of the relay to the rear-view camera’s power-
cable, like you did it to the blue coloured “Reverse-IN” cable before.
Connect stabile and permanent +12V to the relay’s input connector (30).
Note: BEFORE completing the installation, check that the switchover to the rear-view
camera takes place by applying +12V current to the blue coloured "Reverse-IN" wire.

2.6. Picture settings and guide lines
The picture settings are adjustable by the 3 push-buttons at the rear-side of the video-
interface. Press the MENU button to open the OSD settings menu or to switch to the next
menu item. Press UP and DOWN to change the selected value. The buttons are placed inside
in the housing to avoid accidental changes during or after the installation. Picture settings
must be done separately for all video inpouts while the corresponding input is selected and
visible on the monitor.
Note: The OSD menu is only shown when a working video source is connected to the rear-
view camera input of the interface.
The following settings are available:
Brightness
Saturation
Position H (horizontal) = horizontal picture position
Position V (vertical) = vertical picture position
IR-AV1 = no function
IR-AV2 = no function
Guide L = distance-left guide-line
Guide R = guide-lines position
Guide-CNTRL = guide-lines/PDC On/Off
H-SIZE = horizontal picture size RVC
V-SIZE = vertical picture size RVC
Note: If there is no communication between interface and the vehicle`s CAN-bus (several
vehicles aren’t compatible), the reverse gear guide-lines can`t be shown during the vehicle’s
operation, even if they once appear after having switched the system to powerless!
