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: ____________________

Uconnect LIVE with 7inch monitor
(VPE356-7in)
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. If 2 audio
sources shall be connected to the infotainment, an additional
electronic is necessary to switch them.
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.
Video input signal NTSC video sources compatible only.
1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories
1.3. Boxes and connectors –video interface
The video-interface converts the connected after-market sources video signals into a LVDS
signal which is inserted in the factory monitor 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 8 Dip switches (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.
See the following chapters for detailed information.
1.4.1. Enabling the interface’s video inputs (dip 2-3)
Only the enabled video inputs can be accessed by switching through the interface’s video
sources. It is recommended to enable only the required inputs. So the disabled inputs will be
skipped while switching through the video interfaces inputs.
1.4.2. 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 or factory optical park system picture.
If set to ON, the interface switches to its rear-view camera input while the reverse gear is
engaged.
Note: Dips 1, 4, 6, 7 and 8 are out of function and have to be set to OFF!
1.5. Settings of the 4 Dip switches (CAN functions –red)
All 4 dip-switches of the video interface have no function for normal
use and have to be set to OFF.
Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.

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 factory head-unit.
The factory head unit is located behind the glove compartment.

Disconnect the factory picture signal cable’s white coloured female HSD connector from the
rear-side of the head unit and connect it to the purple coloured HSD connector
of the enclosed picture signal cable.
Connect the waterblue coloured female HSD connector of the enclosed picture signal cable
to the head unit’s previously become free white coloured male HSD connector.

2.4. Connection –10pin Power / CAN cable
Connect the 10pin power / CAN cable’s female 10pin connector to the 10pin connector
of the video interface.
Connect the single grey wire of the 10pin power / CAN cable to the vehicle’s CAN-Low.
Connect the blue wire of the 10pin Power / CAN Cable to the vehicle’s CAN-High.
Connect the single black wire of the 10pin Power / CAN Cable to vehicle’s negative ground.
Connect the single yellow wire of the 10pin power/CAN cable to +12V ACC power supply.
Note: The CAN communication doesn’t succeed in all vehicles. If, after connecting the 10pin
Power / CAN cable, no interface LED lightens up while the ignition is turned on, refer to
chapter “Analogue power supply for the video interface”.
