Limitations
Video only The interface inserts ONLY video signals into the infotainment.
For audio inserting, use the possibly existing factory audio-AUX-input
or a FM-modulator. If 2 AV-sources shall be connected to the
infotainment, for audio switching an additional electronic part is
required.
Factory rear-view camera Automatic 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

Furthermore, even when installed to the correct NAC systems, there is also damage to the
head-unit possible if the 4pin HSD connectors of this harness are wrong-plugged.
Prior to installation, the head-unit’s version has to be determined (see following page).

Please, carefully follow the manual for high or low version connection of the head unit and
the assignment of the Dip-8 switch position!

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. Further it reads the vehicle’s digital signals out of the vehicle’s CAN-bus and
converts them for the video interface.
If set to ON, the video interfaces’ red wire will supply +12V (max 3A) with engaging the
reverse gear and additionally 10 more seconds delay for the time of the front camera’s back-
switching after the reverse gear has been disengaged. Furthermore, the red wire’s power
supply for the front cam becomes active with manually front camera switching (short press
of the external keypad).
If set to OFF, the video interfaces’ red wire will supply permanent +12V ACC (max 3A).
Description of the power supply output: see chapter “Power supply output”.
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. Then the disabled inputs will
be skipped while switching through the video interfaces inputs.
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.
(Attend to correct adjustment of the power supply output (dip1)!
Note: Dip1 and 7 are out of function and have to be set to OFF.
2. Installation
Switch off the ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery! The interface needs a
permanent 12V source. If -according to factory rules- a disconnection of the battery has to
be avoided, it should be sufficient to use the vehicle’s sleep-mode. In case, the sleep-mode
doesn’t succeed, the battery has to be disconnected with a resistor lead.
The connection’s power has to be checked for being start-up proven and permanent.
Before the final installation, we recommend a test-run of the interface. Due to changes in
the production of the vehicle manufacturer, there’s always the possibility of
incompatibility.

Carefully cut the harness’ shrink pipe which sheathes both of the
waterblue colored 4pin HSD connectors, to set free the connector
„Low version – connect to head unit“ for the low version head unit.
Connect the waterblue colored female 4pin HSD connector „to interface“ to the
waterblue colored 4pin HSD connector of the video interface.

Disconnect the female PSA Quadlock connector at the rearside of the head unit and click out the
green female 22pin connector of the female PSA Quadlock connector.
Connect the singel four cables of the POWER / CAN cable to ACC and exactely to the 22pin
connector’s shown chambers, as the vehicle’s cable colours may vary!
Connect the power / CAN cable’s female 10pin connector to the 10pin connector of the
video interface.

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
(of the black 8 dips):
Dip Function
Dip 1 ON +12V (max. 3A) when reverse gear is engaged incl. 10 seconds
delay after reverse gear is disengaged and

press)
Dip 1 OFF +12V (max. 3A) simulated ACC (while CAN has activity)

The red power supply output ACC/front cam out 12V (max 3A) can be used to power
a front camera. If Dip 1 is set to ON (of the black 8 dips), the power supply output
supplies +12V (max 3A) when the reverse gear is engaged and additionally
10 seconds delay after reverse gear is disengaged.
Note: In addition, a manual switch-over to the front camera input is possible via keypad
(short press) from any image mode. The power supply output supplies +12V then, too (if Dip

If the CAN-bus interface receives +12V on the green wire of the 20pin cable when reverse
gear is engaged, it will automatically be switched to the rear-view camera input “Camera IN”
while reverse gear is engaged.
The 12 V power supply for the rear-view camera (max 3A) has to be taken from the
green wire of the 20pin cable to avoid an unnecessary, permanent power supply to
the camera electronic.

For the operation, both green cables “Reverse IN” and “Reverse OUT” have to remain
connected.

If the video interface does not receive +12V on the green wire of the 20pin cable when
reverse gear is engaged (not all vehicles are compatible), an external switching signal from
the reverse gear light is required. As the reverse gear light’s power supply isn’t voltage-
stable all the time, an ordinary open relay (e.g AC-RW-1230 with wiring AC-RS5) or filter (e.g.
AC-PNF-RVC) is required. The diagram below shows the connection type of the relay.
Disconnect the green cable’s pre-connected male- and female connectors of the
20pin cable and connect the green input cable “Reverse-IN” to the output connector
(87) of the relay.
Note: Not least to avoid short circuits, the best solution should be, to crimp a male
4mm connector to the relay’s output cable and connect it to the green cable’s female
4mm connector. The output-cable “Reverse-OUT” remains disconnected as it’s out of
function.
Connect the Reverse light’s power-cable to coil (85) and the vehicle’s ground to coil
(86) of the relay.
Connect the output connector (87) of the relay to the rear-view camera’s power-

Connect the keypad’s female 4pin connector to the video-interface’s male 4pin
connector.
Note: Even if the switching through several video sources by the keypad mightn’t be
required, the invisible connection and availability is strongly recommended.

The picture settings can be adjusted by the 3 buttons on the video-interface. Press the
MENU button to open the OSD settings menu. To switch to the next menu item, pressing
UP and DOWN will change the selected value. The buttons are embedded in the housing to
avoid accidental changes during or after installation. The picture settings have to be done
separately for AV1 and AV2 while the corresponding input is selected and visible on the
monitor.
Note: The OSD menu is only shown when a working video source is connected to the
selected video-input of the interface.
