Restrictions
CAN bus compatibility - The CAN bus compatibility of the interface may be restricted for some vehicles, either completely or for individual functions. This may be noticeable both during installation and later. The interface with all video inputs can be operated with analog switching signals without connection to the vehicle CAN bus. In this case, individual additional functions are omitted, see below.
Video-only interface does not feed in any audio signals. To feed in audio signals, any existing factory audio AUX input or optional products must be used (e.g. FM modulator). For an HDMI source fed in, audio is output via an analog audio output (3.5mm jack socket).
Factory reversing camera - Automatic switching to RFK input only takes place as long as reverse gear is engaged. Optional accessories are required for different switching times.
After-market front camera - Switching to front camera takes place automatically after reverse gear is engaged for 5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds (depending on OSD menu setting). Manual switching to front camera is also possible via the external button.
Guide lines for reversing camera - The moving guide lines function cannot be used if the vehicle CAN bus is not fully compatible with the interface or if the connection is analog.
Vehicles with active parking assistant system 235 - It is not possible to display the camera image while the factory-fitted active parking assistant system 235 is in use.
