2 | Red | (+) 12V Ignition (terminal 15) |
3 | Yellow cinch plug | Video output for connection to a monitor |
4 | Yellow cinch socket | Video input for connecting a front camera. |
5 | Blue | (+) Input for reversing light |
6 | Orange | (+) 12V switching output for switching on the monitor / interface |
(5 sec. Switch-off delay) or a front camera (10 sec. Switch-off delay).
Warning! If the cable is not required, the cable must be insulated and must
not come to Ground.
7| Green Loop| Guidelines (on/off). Cut the cable loop if you want to have
displayed no guides.

installation according to variant 2.
9| Blue Loop| Image reproduction (mirrored / normal). Cut the cable loop, if
you want to mirrored the image reproduction for front mounting.
10| Purple Loop| Guide line size (wide/narrow). Cut the cable loop if you want

Complete connection
Carry out the following connection if all voltages are available at the
installation site in the car (ignition, reversing signal,..)
Rear reversing signal pick-up
Pickup reversing signal front
Connection with front camera
Functionality of the switching electronics
After the 12V reversing signal is no longer present on the blue cable, the video output is switched to the input for a front camera for 10 seconds. During this time, the orange cable has 12V. After these 10 seconds the system switches off. The delay of 10 seconds only works if the circuit at the input of the front camera detects a video signal. If the circuit at the input of the front camera does not detect a video signal, only a delay of 5 seconds will work.
