INTRODUCTION
CONNECTIONS TO BE MADE
The Axxess AX-ADDCAM interface is a camera switching interface that will provide up to (3)
additional camera inputs to the factory radio, while still retaining the factory camera. With this
interface a front camera, and also side cameras can be added to the factory radio. The cameras
function automatically*, no human interaction required, unless desired to do so. Axxess has also
created a line of vehicle specific “Plug & Play” harnesses for the AX-ADDCAM. These harnesses must
be used along with the AX-ADDCAM. The AX-ADDCAM can also be used if the factory system does
not originally come equipped with a backup camera, adding up to (4) cameras in this instance. In
addition, the AX-ADDCAM can be used along with an aftermarket radio as well. Pending that the
aftermarket radio has an input designated for a backup camera.
* Only applicable vehicles listed in the drop down menu in the Axxess Updater program will
retain this feature.
Note:
Some vehicles may not have the turn signal, and/or reverse signal available on the vehicles
CAN-bus. For vehicles that do not have those signals available, or when an aftermarket radio will be
used instead of the factory radio, the interface will need to be manually controlled by analog triggers.
12-volt switched output
The
Red
wire labeled “Camera 12V” will be used in applications where a 12-volt switched
output is required. In the Axxess Updater there are two options for this feature, “CAN
Detection”, or “Camera Active”. If an aftermarket radio will be used instead of a factory radio,
this wire must be connected to the wire designated for a reverse trigger
.
•
Accessory Out:
Will provide a 12-volt switched output when the interface detects a CAN bus
signal. Pending that the vehicle is supported under vehicle selection.
•
Camera Active:
Will provide a 12-volt switched output if a camera has been activated.
Camera input/output
The RCA jacks labeled “Camera 1 – 4” are the camera inputs. The RCA jack labeled “Camera
output” will go to the factory radio (or aftermarket radio). Camera 1 should only be used for a
backup camera as it takes priority over the other cameras. Camera 2 and 3 can be used for either
a left side camera, or a right side camera, as they are programmable within the Axxess Updater
program. Camera 4 is only for use with a front camera due to how the camera switching functions.
Analog control wires
(available with the “Plug & Play” harness)
There are (4) control wires for activating the cameras manually. The control wires can be
configured in the Axxess Updater for either a negative or positive trigger. The control wires can
also be assigned to any camera.
VSS (vehicle speed sense)
(available with the “Plug & Play” harness)
The AX-ADDCAM will generate a VSS signal for applicable vehicles listed in the drop down menu in
the Axxess Updater. Pending that the vehicles CAN bus has that signal available. For vehicles that
do not have that signal available, the VSS wire will need to be manually wired to the vehicle. But
only if that feature is required.
