are relevant.

1.3. Coding of the vehicle
Alternatively to the coding via VCDS software described here, the camera coding can be
done by the separately available coding dongle “OBD-301-R”.
In order for an MIB-based factory head-unit to switch to the rear-view camera input picture
when reverse gear is engaged, the vehicle needs to be coded correctly. This coding is not part of the product RL-MIB2 and must be done with a diagnosis tool in combination with
coding software.
Below as example, coding with VCDS software – no liability for correctness!
Changes is vehicle or coding software are subject to changes which may lead to different
coding requirements. In this case contact the supplier of your coding software.
Coding example for a vehicle with opticaly park distance display (OPS) – German VCDS
Choose„Assistent für Codierung“ In Byte 19 set bit 4 to „Rear View Camera
Low installed“
After coding, head-unit must be reset. On most head-units by long-pressing (about 20
seconds) of the ON/OFF key.

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.
2.1. Place of installation
The interface is installed on the rear of the factory head-unit. At least 3 versions of headunits can be distinguished:
1. Radio/nav-computer with drive in the glove-box
2. Black-box separately behind the monitor
3. Integrated as all-in-one head-unit with monitor
