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 FMmodulator can be used. If 2 audio sources shall be connected to the infotainment,
an additional electronic is necessary to switch them.
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, 15 or 20 seconds
(adjustable) after disengaging the reverse gear. A manually front camera
switching is possible by external keypad.
PDC and guidelines If the video interface does not receive the required information from the vehicle
CAN-bus, neither guide-lines nor optical PDC display will be supported.
Place of installation – On some vehicles, e.g. VW Polo, there may not be enough space behind the
special case factory head unit for the straight female HSD interface connector of the interface
cable. In this case, the optional cable CAB-HSD-MD035 is also required.
1.3. 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.

1.4.1. Activation – front camera „V3 Front” (dip 1)
If set to ON, the interface switches for 10, 15 or 20 seconds from the rear-view camera to
the front camera input after having disengaged the reverse gear (see picture settings).
In addition, a manual switch-over to the front camera input is possible via keypad (short
press) from any image mode.
Description of the red cable: see chapter “Power supply output”.
1.4.2. Activation - video inputs „V1 Left/V2 Right” (dip 2-3)
Only by dip switches enabled video inputs can be accessed by switching through the
interface’s video sources. It is recommended to enable only the required inputs. Disabled
inputs will be skipped while switching through the video interfaces inputs.
1.4.3. Activation - optical PDC function (dip 4)
If set to ON the interface will display an image of a PDC car on the right side of the factory
monitor.
1.4.4. 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.
1.4.5. Vehicle-specific settings (Dip 6) observe the following empirical values!
Dip switch 6 must generally be set to OFF.
Exceptions are the vehicles equipped with an 8.3 inch monitor:
Audi A4 (8W),
Audi A5 (8T),
Audi Q5,
Audi Q7 (4M) Touch
For these, Dip 6 must be set to ON.
Note: If (after successful setting of Dip 7 and Dip 8), the CAN bus functions fail
(e.g. automatic switchover to rear view camera), set dip switch 6 to OFF and check again, as
dip switch 6 affects both, vehicle assignment and CAN bus functions!
1.4.5.1. Monitor selection (Dip 7 und-8) observe the following empirical values!
Dips 7 and-8 customize the monitor-specific video settings which sometimes even vary
within head units of the same version, caused by different monitor specifications. It is
necessary to try all 4 possible combinations of both dip switches while a working video
source is connected to the chosen input of the interface. One of the six combinations will
show the best picture size and quality (some may give no picture). It is possible to first hot
plug through the dip combinations. If there is no change of picture visible after trying all 6
options, retry and disconnect the 10pin plug of the Quadlock connector between every
change of the dip setting.

1.5. Settings of the 4 Dip switches (CAN functions – red)
All 4 dip-switches of the video interface have no function for normal
use and have to be set to OFF (except Porsche vehicles with PCM 4.0).
Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.
For Porsche vehicles with PCM 4.0: If the Can communication does not work with the upper
shown dip positions, other dip combinations can also be tried out.
After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Can-box has to be performed!
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.
If the necessary stabilized power supply for the interface is not taken directly from the
battery, the chosen connection has to be checked for being constantly stabile.
The interface needs a permanent 12V source!

2.1. Place of installation
The interface is supposed to be installed at a suitable location behind the vehicle`s headunit.
Depending on the vehicle, the head-unit is usually installed separately from the
monitor (most times in DIN size) in the centre console, in the glove compartment or
hidden in the dashboard.
In Porsche PCM4.0 the head unit can be found directly behind the monitor and is
connected to it.
In VW Transporter (T6.1), the HU is behind the center console, located under the
A/C control unit.
HU in VW Transporter T6.1
Note: On some vehicles, e.g. VW Polo, there may not be enough space behind the factory
head unit for the straight female HSD interface connector of the interface cable. In this case,
the optional cable CAB-HSD-MD035 is also required.

Connect the female HSD+2 connector of the 4pin HSD picture signal cable
to the video-interface’s male HSD+2 connector.
Disconnect the female 4pin HSD connector of the vehicle harness from the rear of the
head-unit and connect it to the male 4pin HSD connector of the 4pin HSD picture signal
cable.
Note: If required, the marked lugs of the
female 4pin HSD LVDS connector have to be
cut off! Further, the colour of the female
4pin HSD connector may vary between
green (only some Porsche PCM4.0), pink and grey, depending on the installed head-unit.
Connect the female 4pin connector of the 4pin HSD picture signal cable to the male 4pin
HSD LVDS connector of the head-unit (colours may vary!).
Remove the female Quadlock connector of the
vehicle harness from the rear of the head-unit
and connect the previously clipped out white
female 12pin connector (see graphic) to the
male 12pin connector of the PNP harness.
Clip in the female 12pin connector of the PNP harness in the previously become free position

2.6. Connection - video sources
It is possible to connect an after-market rear-view camera and two more AV 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. Due to changes in the production of the vehicle
manufacturer there’s always a possibility of incompatibility.
Connect the female 12pin connector of the 12pin interface cable to the male 12pin
connector of the video-interface.
Connect the video RCA of the AV source 1 and 2 to the female RCA connector
„Right V1“ and „Right V2“ of the 12pin interface cable.
Connect the video RCA of the Rear-view camera to the female RCA connector „Reverse V4“
of the 12pin interface cable (refer also to chapter “Video signal connection of the rear-view
camera”)
Connect the video RCA of the Rear-view camera to the female RCA connector „Front V3“ of
the 12pin interface cable.

2.6.1. 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 2 AV sources shall be connected to the infotainment,
additional electronic is necessary to switch the audio signals.
2.6.2. After-market rear-view camera
Some vehicles have a different reverse gear code on the CAN-bus 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” of the 20pin
cable should carry +12V while the reverse gear is engaged.
Note: Do not forget to set video interface’s dip5 to ON before testing.
2.6.2.1. Case 1: Interface receives the reverse gear signal
If the interface delivers +12V on the green output wire of the 12pin interface cable while
reverse gear is engaged, the video interface will automatically switch to the rear-view
camera input „Reverse V4“ while the reverse gear is engaged.
Additionally, the +12V (max. 3A) power supply for the rear-view camera can be taken
from the green wire of the 12pin interface cable.
Version 18.07.2022 HW:CAM(V100)/(V33) RL4-MIB
Page 17
Pag
e17
2.6.2.2. Case 2: CAN-box 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. As the reverse gear light’s power supply isn’t voltagestabile 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 preconnected 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: Last but not lot 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-
cable, like you did it to the green “Reverse-IN” cable before.
Connect stabile and permanent +12V to the relay’s input connector (30).

2.6.3. 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. 10,15 or 20 seconds delay after
reverse gear is disengaged (depending on menu adjustments, see chapter
“picture setting and guide lines”).
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 longer press of the external keypad push button will switch the interface to the
next source!
