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.
No liability for vehicle wire colours and pin definition!
Changes by the vehicle manufacturer are possible. The given information has to be verified
by the installer.
1. Prior to installation

Limitations:
Video only The interface inserts ONLY video signals into the infotainment. For sound use the
possibly existing factory-audio-AUX-input or a FM-modulator. 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.
1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories
1.3. 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.

1.4. Dip-switch settings –interface
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!
See the following chapters for detailed information.
1.4.1.1. 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, because the disabled inputs
will be skipped while switching through the video interfaces inputs.
1.4.1.2. Rear-view camera setting (dip 5)
If set to OFF, the interface switches to factory LVDS 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: Dip 1, 4, 6, 7 and 8 are out of function and have to be set to 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 box is prepared to be connected behind the vehicle`s monitor. The monitor
has to be removed for the installation

2.3. Connection –6pin interface cable
Connect the white female 6pin connector of the 6pin interface cable to the male 6pin
connector of the video interface.
Connect the black wire of the 6pin interface cable to vehicle ground.
Connect the yellow wire of the 6pin interface cable to +12V battery (300mA).
Connect the red wire of the 6pin interface cable to +12V ACC terminal 15.
If desired, the white wire of the 6pin interface cable can be used alternatively to the
external button to switch the video sources (12V pulse for 2-3 seconds).
Connect the green wire of the 6pin interface cable to +12V of the reverse gear signal.
(e.g. reversing light).
Note: The connection of the green wire (Reverse signal) will be described in chapter
“After-market rear-view camera”. The white wire, can be used by +12V impulse to
switch the enabled video sources , same as the keypad (see chapter “video interface-
operation”).
