vehicle is moving, for example the MP3 menu for DVD upgrades.
Changes/updates of the vehicle’s software can cause malfunctions of the interface. We
offer free software-updates for our interfaces for one year after purchase. To receive a free
update, the interface must be sent in at own cost. Labour cost for and other expenses
involved with the software-updates will not be refunded.
1. Prior toinstallation

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.
In case that 2 AV sources shall be connected, a desired audio switching will
require additional electronic.
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.
After market front camera The front camera will automatically be switched for 10 seconds after disengaging
the reverse gear. A manually front camera switching is possible by external
keypad.
Guidelines Displayed guidelines are not available in all vehicles.

1.3. connectors - video-interface
The video-interface (daughter PCB) 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.

1.5. Dip-switch settings
1.5.1. 8 dip - 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.
*The front camera will automatically be switched for 10 seconds after disengaging the
reverse gear (see following information).
After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Video Interface has to be performed!
1.5.1.1. Activating the front camera input (dip 1)
If set to ON, the interface switches for 10 seconds from the rear-view camera to the front
camera input after having disengaged the reverse gear. In addition, a manual switch-over to
the front camera input is possible via keypad (short press) from any image mode.
Description of the front camera power supply: see chapter “Power supply output”.
1.5.1.2. Enabling the interface’s video inputs (dip 2-3)
Only the enabled video inputs can be accessed when switching through the interface’s video
sources. It is recommended to enable only the required inputs, disabled inputs
will be skipped when switching through the video-interfaces inputs.

1.5.1.3. 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.
If set to ON, the interface switches to its rear-view camera input „V4 Reverse“ while the
reverse gear is engaged.
Note: Dip 4, 6, 7and 8 are out of function and have to be set to OFF.
After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Video Interface has to be performed!

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 ofinstallation
The video interface is designated to be connected behind the vehicle`s head unit.
The daughter PCB is prepared to be connected inside the factory head unit).

2.3. Installation –daughter PCB
2.3.1. Head units with DIN housing
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.

Version 15.07.2022 HW CAM(V100) / (V11.3) CI-RL4-MIB3-E
Page11
2.3.2. Special case: Head units without DIN housing
For installation on head units without DIN housing, the enclosed
long ribbpn cable and the flex cable merger are used in addition
to the short ribbon cable.
The mounting location of the daughter PCB is at the rear-side of
the head unit (with enclosed Velcro tape).
Remove themarkedscrews on therear-sideandsideofthe backhousing.
Unclickthemarkedmetaltabsofthehousing‘s back sectionandcarefullylift off the back
sectionandthenlayitaside.

Unscrewthemarkedscrewsofthemainboard.
Carefully lift off the main board and unclip the copper-coloured 60pin factory picture signal
cable, coming from the monitor, from the bottom side of the main board.
After the main board has been put aside, unscrew the marked screws of the intermediate
metal sheet and put it aside as well.

Mill away enough of the plastic housing at the marked point to allow the flex cables to pass
through without friction between the housing and the intermediate plate later on.
Clip the copper-coloured 60pin factory picture signal cable coming from the monitor to the
enclosed ribbon cable mergerin the shown position.
Clip the enclosedshort 60-pin picture signal cable to the other side of the enclosedribbon
cable merger in the shown position.
Caution: It is impossible to feed the flex cables through at another location without
damaging them!

Protect the two 60pin ribbon cables from injury by using fabric tape and refit the
intermediate metal sheet.
Clip-in the enclosedlong 60pin ribbon cable at the ribbon cabe base below the main board.
Place the main board back on the intermediate metal sheet and fasten it with the original
screws (then also refit the housing back part).
Clip-in the enclosed short 60pin ribbon cable(previously attached to the flex line socket of
the mainboard) to the ribbon cable baseCAR OUT of the daughter PCB.
Clip the long 60pin flex line previously attached to the ribbon cable base of the mainboard to
the ribbon cable baseCAR IN of the daughter PCB.
Caution: Inadvertently mixing up the inputs and outputs CAR IN and CAR OUTmay cause
considerable damage to the head unit’s electronics!
Connect the 20pin connector of the 20pin picture signal cable to the 20pin connector of the
daughter PCB.

2.3.3. Warning notes, concernin 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 froma 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. Connection –20pin picture signal cable
Connect the female 20pin connector of the daughter PCB’s pre-connected 20pin
picture signal cable to the video interface’s male 20pin connector.

The red power supply output ACC/front cam out 12V (max 3A) can be used to power an
external source and has a different assignment, depending on the position of dip switch 1
(of8 dips):
Dip

2.8. Connection –Video sources
It is possible to connect an after-market rear-view camera, an after-market front camera and
two more video sources to the video-interface.
Before the final installation, we recommend a test-run to detect a incompatibility of
vehicle and interface. Due to changes in the production of the vehicle manufacturer
there’s always a possibility of incompatibility.
