be coded by dealership, too. If 2 AV sources shall be connected, the CAB-FV-AUDIO
audio cable is optionally available for audio switching.
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.

monitor compatible picture signal which is inserted in the factory monitor, by using separate
trigger options.

Some settings have to be selected by the dip-switches on the
video interface. Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.
After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Can-box has to be performed!

engaged.
1.4.1.3. Monitor specific settings (dip 8)

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 box is prepared to be connected behind the vehicle`s monitor. The monitor
has to be removed for the installation
