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.
1. Prior to installation
Read the manual prior to installation. Technical knowledge is necessary for installation. The
video interface’s place of installation must be free of moisture and away from heat sources.
Before the final installation in the vehicle of the video sources, we recommend a test-run
to ensure the compatibility of vehicle and interface. Due to changes in the production of
the vehicle manufacturer there’s always a possibility of incompatibility.
1.1. Delivery contents
Take down the serial number of the interface and store this manual for support
purposes: ____________________

Limitations
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. If 2 audio sources shall be
connected to the infotainment, an additional electronic is necessary to
switch them.
Video sources NTSC video sources compatible only.
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.
1.2. Checking the compatibility of vehicle and accessories
1.3. Boxes and connectors –video interface
The video-interface converts the connected after-market sources video signals into a LVDS
signal which is inserted in the factory monitor 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.

1.4. Settings of the 8 Dip switches (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.
See the following chapters for detailed information.
1.4.1. Activating the front camera (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.
1.4.2. 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. So the disabled inputs will be
skipped while switching through the video interfaces inputs.
1.4.3. 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 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: Dips 4, 6, 7 und 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.
As with any installation of retrofit equipment, a stand-by test is neccessary after the
installation of the video interface, to ensure that the unit also switches off after reaching
the vehicle‘s sleep mode.
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.
2.1. Place of installation
The interface is supposed to be installed at a suitable location behind the factory monitor.

2.3. Connection –picture signal cable
Remove the head unit
Disconnect the factory picture signal cable’s blue coloured female HSD connector from the
monitor’s rear-side and connect it to the purple coloured HSD connector of the enclosed
picture signal cable.
Connect the waterblue coloured female HSD connector of the enclosed picture signal cable
to the monitor’s previously become free blue coloured male HSD connector.
Connect the opposite female waterblue coloured HSD+2 connector of the picture signal
cable to the waterblue coloured male HSD+2 connector of the video interface.
Note: The colours of the HSD connector of head unit and factory harness may vary.

2.4. Connection –10pin Power / CAN cable
Connect the 10pin power / CAN cable’s female 10pin connector
to the 10pin connector of the video interface.
Connect the single grey wire of the 10pin power / CAN cable
to the vehicle’s CAN-Low.
Connect the blue wire of the 10pin Power / CAN Cable
to the vehicle’s CAN-High.
Note: To handle the CAN+ and the CAN- connection, the enclosed
20pin OBD connector can alternatively be used,but a
perfect connection from behind without that connector
will avoid loose problems and dysfunction.
Connect the single brown wire of the 10pin Power / CAN Cable to vehicle’s negative
ground.
Connect the single red wire of the 10pin power/CAN cable to +12V ACC power supply.
Version 11.01.2023 HW:CAM (V100)/(V23) CI-RL4-SC15
Page10
2.5. Analogue power supply for the video interface
If the communication between the CAN box and the vehicle’s CAN bus does not succeed (not
all vehicles are compatible), the analogue connection is required.
Connect the red wire ACC-OUT and the purple coloured wire Manual ACC of the
12pin interface cable to +12V ACC power supply.
