Compatibility

Limitations

Video only The interface inserts ONLY video signals into the infotainment.

For audio inserting, use the possibly existing factory audio-AUX-input or a FM-modulator. If 2 AV-sources shall be connected to the infotainment, for audio switching an additional electronic part is required.

Factory rear-view camera Automatic 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 seconds after

disengaging the reverse gear. A manually front camera switching is possible by external keypad.

Video input signal NTSC video sources compatible only.

1.3. Warning notes:

Damage to the head-unit is possible, if this RL4-NAC interface is installed to older

Citroen / Peugeot SMEG or SMEG+ head-units (by Magneti Marelli)! Use this RL4-NAC interface only on Citroen/Opel/Peugeot/Toyota head-units NAC (by Continental) or RCC (Bosch). Designs and features – see the following pictures:

NAC-Systems

Furthermore, even when installed to the correct NAC systems, there is also damage to the head-unit possible if the 4pin HSD connectors of this harness are wrong-plugged.

Prior to installation, the head-unit’s version has to be determined (see following page).

Version 02.12.2020 HW: CAM(V100)/(V52) RL4-NAC

1.4. Checking the head unit’s version

Prior to installation, it has to be determined if whether the head-units version is a

low version head-unit

(single black male 4pin HSD on backside)

Attention: Bosch Low Version requires different Dip 8 switch position (see following chapters)

high version head-unit

(double black male 4pin HSD on the backside)

Please, carefully follow the manual for high or low version connection of the head unit and the assignment of the Dip-8 switch position!

1.5. Connectors - Video-Interface

The video-interface converts the video signals of connected after-market sources in a factory monitor compatible picture signal which is inserted in the factory monitor, by 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.

1.6. Settings of the 8 Dip switches (black)

Some settings have to be selected by the 8 dip-switches at the video-interface. Dip position down is ON and position up is OFF.

See the following chapters for detailed information.

After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the Can-box has to be performed!

1.6.1. Adjustment – power supply output (dip 1)

If set to ON, the video interfaces’ red wire will supply +12V (max 3A) with engaging the reverse gear and additionally 10 more seconds delay for the time of the front camera’s backswitching after the reverse gear has been disengaged. Furthermore, the red wire’s power supply for the front cam becomes active with manually front camera switching (short press of the external keypad). If set to OFF, the video interfaces’ red wire will supply permanent +12V ACC (max 3A).

Description of the power supply output: see chapter “Power supply output”.

1.6.2. Enabling the interface’s video inputs (dip 2-3)

Only the enabled video inputs can be accessed by switching through the interface’s video

sources. It is recommended to enable only the required inputs. Then the disabled inputs will be skipped while switching through the video interfaces inputs.

1.6.3. Rear-view camera settings (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.

1.6.4. Activating – front camera back-switching (dip 6)

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. In addition, a manual switch-over to the front camera input is possible via keypad (short press) from any image mode. (Attend to correct adjustment of the power supply output (dip1)!

1.6.5. Head unit selection (Dip 8)

Dipswitch 8 is used to set the corresponding Head-Unit version.

Dip switch position ON supports the Continental "Low Version" Head-Unit (Continental Head-Unit with single black HSD connector on the back)

Dip switch position OFF supports the:

Continental "High Version" Head-Unit

(Continental Head-Unit with double black HSD connector at the back)

Bosch "Low Version" Head Unit

(Bosch Head-Unit with a single black HSD connector on the back)

Note: Dip1 and 7 are out of function and have to be set to OFF.

After each Dip-switch-change a power-reset of the interface box has to be performed!
