2.2. Setting up the multimedia interface before installing it:
DIP Switches:
Using the DIP Switches of the multimedia interface you will be able to enable/disable the external multimedia
devices, Navigation, DVD, rear cameras, etc… anything that you connect. For example, if you are going to connect a
multimedia device in the AV1, and another in the AV3, we will just enable the corresponding DIP Switches (DIP2
and DIP 4) and we will disable all the remaining DIP Switches, if we do like this, we will only have that 2 enabled
sources in the interface (AV1 and AV3), and when you change from one source to the other, the interface will skip
the ones that are disabled. Doing this, we get a faster change between sources. Dip 1 is used for navigation source
(RGB connection).
See the next sample image:
VERY IMPORTANT: DIP Switch UP - Enable / DIP Switch DOWN - Disable
(Ignore “ON” inscription)
Like this in the sample image:
• DIP 1 - (up) Enabled
• DIP 2 - (down) Disabled
• DIP 3 - (down) Disabled
• DIP 4 - (up) Enabled
• DIP 5 - (up) Enabled

2.3. Multimedia interface installation and connections:
The first step will be to disassemble the screen from the dashboard, see on the image below.
Unplug the switches from the center of the aerators and then unscrew the screw.
Leverage the screen’s support using the removal tool 3094.
Remove the radio using the removal tools T10057 and disassemble the rear connectors.
Now, we are going to remove the auto glove compartment, unscrew the screws from 1 to 4.
8
Disconnect the electric connector of the auto glove compartment, and remove the auto glove compartment. Once
you have removed it, you will have enough space to perform the connections between the multimedia interface, the
additional module and the vehicle’s screen and you will have too, space to place the multimedia interface.
Now we will proceed to place the touch screen. To do that, first we will have to disassemble the frame using a nylon
wedge and then we will unscrew the two rear Torx screws.
The screen will be removed and then it will be possible to disassemble the front metal frame of the screen. Using a
pair of pliers and a wedge we are going to remove the metal frame.
Now, remove the screen’s metal frame and clean the screen using a specific cleaning product and a microfiber cloth.
Then we will place the touch screen and the screen’s metal frame.
NOTE: Don’t tighten too much the metal frame, it only has to be holded.
9
NOTE: Before ensambling the monitor again, we recommend to cut down the outside plastic frame where the
touch panel has to be holded (see the images below).
Connect the Touch Panel cable to the touch screen, the other side to the ”TO TOUCH” INPUT of the SUB BOARD
module, and then you will be able to assemble again the screen on its original position.
The next step will be the image bridge between the SUB BOARD module and the HSD connection behind of the
radio. Disconnect the Purple Original LCD cable HSD
of the radio and connect it to the SUB BOARD module “TO
MONITOR” connection port. The “TO SYS” cable must be connected to the connector that we leaved free
previously (see it on the image).
10
Then, connect the LVDS cable (*1ea) to the “FROM I/F” connection port of the additional module (SUB BOARD)
and connect the other side to the multimedia interface LVDS OUT.
11
2.4. POWER connector cables and connections:
NOTE: The supply connection must always be the last step in the installation process.
• ACC – Connect to +12V Ignition
• GND – Connect to the vehicle’s Ground point
• GPIO-ZO: MMI – No function
• IR – Connect the “IR cable” - (IR cable (4P)*1ea)
• PB12 (N.C) – No function
• MODE: Toggle S/W – Connect “MODE cable” - (MODE cable *1ea)
• OPT2 (N.C) – No function
• REAR – Connect to a signal from rear light bulb if you want to install a rear view camera
• PARKING (SAFE) – Connection cable “optional” to the vehicle’s hand break (Connecting this cable, when you
remove the vehicle hand break, you will stop seeing the interface images (“Security mode”) TV FREE OFF
• IR-NAVI – No function
• IR-AV1 (DVD) – Connection cable to the “IR control” cable from the multimedia device connected to the RCA
AV1 entry of the multimedia interface, to enable his own controls using the touch screen (optional)
• IR-AV2 (DMB) – Connection cable to the “IR control” cable of the multimedia device connected to the RCA
AV2 entry of the multimedia interface, to enable his own controls using the touch screen (optional)

NOTE: The manufacturer may change the pins and colors here shown, please check every connection and cable
before proceed to install. Insulate the cables that won’t be used.
12
2.5. Aftermarket rear camera connection:
To connect an aftermarket camera (not original), you have to connect to the interface multimedia “R-CAM” port, the
“CAM” connector that has 2 cables, a red one and a black one. The red one will supply the cam +12V, and the black
one to a ground. If you do this way, the multimedia interface will supply power to any camera that you connect. It is
very important to do this connection, because if you don’t proceed this way, camera won’t work. You also should
connect the RCA video of the camera to the RCA connector “REAR C” and also the “REAR” cable to a signal from
rear light bulb if you want to install a rear view camera.
VERY IMPORTANT: If you don’t connect the ”REAR” cable to the signal from the rear light, the “CAM” connector
won’t supply power to the camera, so the camera won’t work.
Don’t forget to adjust the DIP Switch 7 of the multimedia interface once all connections have been done:
DIP Switch 7 – Enable/disable aftermarket rear camera or OEM
• DIP Switch 7 Up – enable OEM camera / without aftermarket rear camera
• DIP Switch 7 Down – enable the aftermarket camera
The rear gear signal mustn’t pass through any box (Filter FUSE BOX) so, you must cut the cables connected to the
filter fuse box incoming from the rear gear signal and the output from this.
Follow the indications below:
- Rear gear bulb signal -> Input no "85" Relay
- 12+ ignition -> Input "30" Relay
- Ground -> Input "86" Relay
- Relay’s output (To the Multimedia interface grey cable) -> Input "87" Relay
Attention; new Audi cars model year from 2011 to nowadays, rear light signal needs to install a
relay to filter signal pulses. Please pay attention to the information below.
