The default dip switch settings of the USB-box
need to be changed ONLY if a rear-view camera is
or shall be connected or if the AV-input of the

located inside the USB-box. For changes it is
necessary to open the box. Default settings are:

1.4.2. Deactivating usbLOGiC AV input

If no peripheral AV-source shall be connected to the usbLOGiC, we
recommend to disable the AV-input, to avoid customers switching by
mistake to black/no picture of the AV-input. In order to disable the
AV-input of the usbLOGiC,
set dip1 = OFF (down).

2. Installation

Switch off ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery! If according to factory rules
disconnecting the battery has to be avoided, it is usually sufficient to put the vehicle in
sleep-mode. In case the sleep-mode does not show success, disconnect the battery with a
resistor lead.

Complete and correct function of the interface is possible only when CAN and MOST®
(tuner) connections are made properly. On vehicles without TV-icon, it will be coded
automatically after installation.

Place of installation is at the rear of the navigation screen and at the rear of the navigation
computer.
