Connection schema
Installation
- Switch off the ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery! The interface needs a permanent 12V source. If according to factory rules disconnecting the battery is 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.
- If the power source is not taken directly from the battery, the connection has to be checked for being start-up-proven and permanent.
- Before wire and device installation, we suggest connecting and testing the correct function of all after-market and factory infotainment equipment!
The interface is installed on the backside of the head unit.
Connecting interface-box and harnesses
- Remove the female Quadlock connector of the vehicle harness from the rear of the navigation computer.
- Remove optical leads from the female Quadlock connector of the vehicle harness and insert them into the female Quadlock connector of harness TV-BM01 at the same position.
- Connect the female Quadlock connector of the vehicle harness to the male Quadlockconnector of harness TV-BM01.
- Connect the female Quadlock connector of harness TV-BM01 to the male Quadlockconnector of the navigation computer
