1.4.1. Adjustment – power supply output (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, depending on the menu adjustments. In addition, a manual switch-over to the front camera input is possible via keypad (short press) from any image mode.
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.
2.3. Connection – picture signal cable Remove the factory monitor Disconnect the female 6pin connector of the factory harness at the rear-side of the monitor and connect it to the male black coloured 6pin connector of the enclosed picture signal cable.
2.4. Connection – 10pin PNP cable Remove the factory head-unit Connect the 10pin PNP cable’s female 10pin connector to the 10pin connector of the video interface. Disconnect both female 28pin connectors of the factory harness at the rear side of the head unit and connect it to the male grey coloured 28pin connectors of the 10pin PNP cable.
2.4.1. Connection of the yellow line in case of faulty touch function or non-off-switching of the video interface If, after having completely connected the video interface, the touch functions fail after disengaging reverse gear the first time, or if the interface does not switch off after reaching vehicle's sleep mode, the yellow wire of the PNP harness has to be disconnected on the interface side and connected as follows: Cut the yellow wire of the PNP harness near the 10pin connector and connect it to the...
2.5. Analog power supply for the video interface Exceptionally, the GM-LAN communication may not succeed in all vehicles! If, after connecting the PNP harness, no interface LED lightens up while the ignition is turned on, the analog power supply needs to be done. Connect the 12pin interface cable’s white coloured female 12pin connector to the 12pin connector of the video interface.
2.6. Power supply output 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): Function Dip 1 ON +12V (max.
2.7. Connection - 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 a final installation of the video sources, we recommend a test-run to ensure the compatibility of vehicle and interface.
2.7.1. Audio-insertion This interface is only able to insert video signals into the factory infotainment. If an AV- source 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 audio- mode of the factory infotainment.
2.7.3. After-market rear-view camera Some vehicles have a different reverse gear code on the GM-Lan which the video-interface is not compatible with. Therefore, there are two different ways of installation. If the video interface receives a signal of the reverse gear, the green wire “Reverse-OUT”...
2.7.3.2. Case 2: Interface does not receive the reverse gear signal If the video interface does not deliver +12V on the green wire of the 12pin cable when reverse gear is engaged (not all vehicles are compatible), an external switching signal from the reverse gear light is required.
2.8. Connection - video-interface and external keypad Connect the female 4pin connector of the keypad to the male 4pin connector of the 12pin interface cable. Note: Even if switching through several video sources by the keypad mightn’t be required, the invisible connection and availability is strongly recommended.
