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
place of installation must be free of moisture and away from heat sources.
1.1. Delivery contents
Take down the serial number of the interface and store this manual for support
purposes: ____________________

Compatibility
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 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.

1.3. Connection Video-Interface
The video-interface converts the connected after-market sources video signals into an RGB
digital signal which is inserted in the factory monitor using separate trigger options and it
reads 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 8 dip-switches at the
video-interface. Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.
See the following chapters for detailed information.

1.4.1. 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`s recommended to enable only the required inputs for the disabled will be
skipped when switching through the video-interfaces inputs.
1.4.2. Rear-view camera setting (dip 5)
If set to OFF, the interface switches to factory RGB digital 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 “Camera-IN” 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.
1.5. Settings of the 4 Dip switches (CAN function - red)

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 Interface needs a permanent power supply! If power isn’t directly taken from the
battery, the connection’s power has to be checked for being start-up proven and
permanent.
2.1. Place of installation –video-interface
The video-interface is installed on the backside of the head-unit.
2.1.1. Place of installation - Exchange housing base plate with daugter PCB

2.3. Connections to the head-unit - LVDS
Remove the head-unit and further remove the original housing base plate, which is fixed to
the head-unit housing by 4 Torx screws (T9).
Clip out the head-unit housing at the head-unit control panel and fold it to the side,
like shown in the picture above.
Note: The connected ribbon cables have to be handled with care to avoid each
damage of the sensitive electrical inducters.
Position the Exchange housing base plate with the daugter PCB in place of the
original base plate
Version 17.02.2020 HW GD(V97) CI-UCON5N
Page10
Clip out the original 40pin ribbon cable which is connected at the head-unit’s ribbon
cable base and connect it to the lower free ribbon cable base “Lcd OUT”of the
daughter PCB. (heed the following warning notes!)
Note: Due to the very short length of the ribbon cable, there’s only limited space
for mounting available.
Connect the daughter PCB’s pre-assembeled 40pin ribbon cable to the previously
become free ribbon cable base of the head-unit mainboard. (heed the following
warning notes!).
After a check of the perfect ribbon cable connection, in reverse order fold back and
clip in the head-unit housing to the head-unit control panel and fix the exchange
housing base plate to the head-unit’s housing.
