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 is sleep-mode. In case the sleep-mode does not work,
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.
Prior to wire and device installation we suggest to connect and test correct function of all
after-market and factory infotainment equipment!
The interface is installed on the backside of the head unit.
3.1. Connecting interface-box and harnesses
Remove the female Quadlock connector of the vehicle harness from the rear of the
navigation computer.
Remove optical leads from the female Quadlock connector of the vehicle harness and
insert them into the female Quadlock connector of harness TV-BM01 at the same
position.
Connect female Quadlock connector of vehicle harness to the male Quadlock
connector of harness TV-BM01.
Connect female Quadlock connector of harness TV-BM01 to the male Quadlock

3.1.1. Special case BMW i3
Since the BMW i3 has the head unit under the rear seat, the extension cable V5C-CON300
must be purchased separately. This is inserted between the TV-BM01 and the V5C-UNI01
cable set.
3.2. LVDS connection
Connect the female 4+2pin HSD2 LVDS connector of the LVDS cable
CAB-HSD2-RR148 to the male 4+2pin HSD2 LVDS connector (LVDS-OUT) on the front
of the interface-box V5C-M637.
Remove the female 4+2pin HSD2 LVDS connector of the vehicle harness of the
factory monitor and connect it to the male 4+2pin HSD2 LVDS connector (LVDS-IN)
on the front of the interface-box V5C-M637.
Connect the second female 4+2pin HSD2 LVDS connector of the LVDS cable
CAB-HSD2-RR148 to the male 4+2pin HSD2 LVDS connector of the factory monitor.
