Rearview camera activation

  • When put gear in Reverse the interface switches automatically to Reverse camera input, usually detected by CANbus system of the car.
  • Unfortunately sometimes reverse it’s not reacting by CANbus because the car can have different CAN protocol/codes.
  • Also the guide lines can not be guaranteed.
  • In this case the reverse trigger wire of the interface should be connected with the analog reverse licht signal like shown below.

When Reverse is NOT reacting by CANbus:

If the reverse light is LED, use a relay like this:Mercedes-Benz-

Troubleshooting

When you DON’T have OEM image (only black screen with sound of the radio)

Please check the LVDS cable Mercedes-Benz-NTG-5.5-6-MBUX-Camera-Video-
Interface-FIG-28

Please check the power supply of the interface

  • Installation with CANBUS: Yellow wire has +12 Volt ?
  • Installation WITHOUT CANBUS: Yellow and purple wire has +12 Volt ?

When you have OEM image.
After putting in reverse, nothing is happening (no rearviewcamera image, it stays in OEM image)Mercedes-Benz-NTG-5.5-6-MBUX-Camera-Video-Interface-
FIG-30

Please check the green wire (“Reverse IN”) When you put the car in reverse. Do you measure 12 V in the green wire “Reverse IN”??
If you don’t, connect this green wire “Reverse IN” with an analogue reverse signal/ light.Mercedes-Benz-NTG-5.5-6-MBUX-Camera-Video-Interface-
FIG-32Please check your dipswitch 5 (dip 8 settings) When you have OEM image, but no rearviewcamera image. After putting in reverse, it switch to black image. Mercedes-Benz-NTG-5.5-6-MBUX-
Camera-Video-Interface-FIG-34Check the power supply of the rearviewcamera Check camera input of the interface Power supply of the rearviewcamera
Do NOT connect the powercable of the rearviewcamera to the reverselight. This 12V is NOT stable, most of the cars have “duty circle” in the 12V reverselight. We suggest to find a stable 12V in the fusebox.
To extend the service life of the rearviewcamera, we recommend a ignition 12 Volt.

Rearview image adjustment
When you have black/grey border in the rearview image

  • When you have camera image, press the menu button on the side of the interface.
  • The interface menu will pop up in the screen.
  • With Up or Dn you can move the selection bar.
  • Select position H or position V to adjust the position of the camera image.

Caution:
Do NOT use H-Size or V-Size (This has nothing to do with adjusting the position of the image)Mercedes-Benz-NTG-5.5-6-MBUX-Camera-Video-Interface-
