Vehicle Connection Overview
Connecting CAN-Bus Wiring
Locate the vehicle’s OBD port and unscrew/remove the female connector.
On the reverse of the connector (the side where wiring enters it), connect the
CAN + (blue) and CAN – (white) wires from the harness to the locations
specified in the diagram (Pins 1 and 9).
USING THE WIRELESS CONTROLLER
Start-Up
The wireless controller included in the kit can be used to change the
viewing mode of the camera, as well as adjust key parameters for each viewing
mode .
To bring up the HUD menu, put the vehicle into reverse gear and press A.
Note: The HUD menu will time out after 3 seconds to allow an uninhibited view of the camera image. Press the A button to bring the HUD menu back onto the screen
The currently selected viewing mode is displayed by the icon in the centre of
the HUD menu. This will default to Driving/Rear-View mode, or to Reversing
mode when in reverse gear.
To change the camera mode, whilst the vehicle is in reverse gear, press B or C
to cycle through the Reversing, Wide Angle and Birds-Eye viewing modes.
Viewing Modes
Adjusting Settings
To adjust settings for all viewing modes, press A from the HUD menu to enter
the settings menu.
Once in the settings menu, short press A to cycle through the various settings
screens available. Screens include camera angle and position for each mode and
guideline width for parking lines.
Once in a settings screen, the selected setting is indicated by the icon in
the centre of the display. The parameters can be adjusted with B and C.
To return to the previous screen, press and hold A.
Activating/Deactivating Blind Spot View (BSV) Mode
When in any of the settings screens, a long press of B will activate or
deactivate BSV (Blind Spot View).
When active, this will trigger the blind spot camera image when an indicator
is activated and the vehicle is moving at a speed of over 40km/h.
When inactive, using the indicators will not trigger the blind spot view and
the camera will remain in Driving/Rear-View mode.
Note: this function will only work if the CAN-Bus wiring is connected.
