Connecting 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.

Connect the 12pin interface cable’s female 12pin connector to the male 12pin connector of the video-interface.

Connect the video RCA of the Rearview camera to the 12pin interface cable’s female

RCA connector

and

”Right (V2)”

.


2.9.1.

Audio-insertion

This interface is only able to insert video signals into the factory infotainment. If an AVsource is connected, the audio insertion has to be done by the factory audio AUX input or an

FM-modulator. The inserted video-signal can be activated simultaneously to each audiomode of the factory infotainment. If two AV sources shall be connected to the infotainment, additional electronic is necessary to switch the audio signals.

2.9.2.

After-market front camera

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 (black 8 dips), the power supply output gives

+12V (max 3A) when reverse gear is engaged incl. 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 gives +12V then, as well (if Dip

1 is set to ON and the front camera input is selected).

Attention: A long press of the external keypad push button will switch the interface to the next source.


2.9.3.

After-market rear-view camera:

For the connection of the rear-view camera, 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

12pin 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 rearview camera’s power cable, like you did it to the green

“Reverse IN”

cable before.

Connect permanent power / 12V to the relay’s input connector (30).


2.10.

Connection - external keypad

Connect the keypad’s female 4pin connector to the 12pin interface cable’s male 4pin connector.

Note:

Even if the switching through several video so urces by the keypad mightn’t be required , the keypad’s invisible connection and availability is strongly recommended.


3.

Interface operation by external keypad

The interface’s external keypad can be used to switch the enabled inputs.

➢

Long press of keypad (2-3 seconds)

By long pressing the external keypad (2-3 seconds), the video interfaces witches the input from the factory video to the inserted video sources.

Each press (approx. 2 sec) will switch to the next enabled input. If all inputs are enabled the order is:

Factory video

→

video IN1

→

video IN2

→

factory video

→

…

Disabled inputs will be skipped.

Note:

The interface switches after releasing the switch (after long pressure).

➢

Short press of keypad (only if DIP 1 is set to ON)

By short pressing the external keypad, the video interfaces switches from the factory video to the front camera input and back to factory video.


4.

Picture settings

The picture settings are adjustable by the 3 push-buttons of the daughjter PCB’s menu keypad. Press the 1. button to open the OSD settings menu or to switch to the next menu item. By pressing the other both push buttons the selected value will be changed. To avoid accidental changes during or after the installation, we recommend to disconnect the keypad from the pushbutton cable after the adjustments are done. Adjustments have to be done, while the selected input is 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.

The following settings are available:
