Function
The CAN interface RCI-4A-AUDI can be used
to connect numerous car radios and navigati-
on systems to AUDI vehicles (that have a CAN
data bus).
All the functions that are supported by the par-
ticular car radio can be controlled remotely.
The interface generates the following signals
from the datagram from the CAN data bus
(depending on the vehicle equipment).
•
Terminal 15 (ignition / switching positive)
•
Terminal 58 (display illumination)
•
Speed (speed signal for Gala)
•
RFLS (reversing light signal)
•
Telephone mute
•
RC commands (Vol+ / Vol- / Search up...)
Safety notices
Please read the following notes carefully befo-
re connecting your interface.
The battery’s negative terminal must be dis-
connected while the assembly and connec-
ting work is being carried out.
The vehicle manufacturer’s safety notes (re-
garding the airbag, alarm equipment, on-board
computer, immobilizer and so forth) must be
observed.
Installation note Fig. 1-3
Make absolutely certain to make the
connections in the order given below!
1. The switches (fig. 1) in accordance with
the overview (see table on page 11).
2. Connect the interface to the radio or na-
vigation system (RNS).
3. Connect the interface to the vehicle’s
connections.
Notes:
When connecting Radiophone devices (radio
type 3, see table on page 11) you must swap
the cables at Pin 4 and Pin 7 in plug A.
Use the radio’s or navigation system’s instal-
lation instructions to check how the contacts
are assigned before installing.
If necessary, plug in cables or reconnect them
elsewhere as needed.
Blaupunkt can accept no liability for faults
resulting from inadequate examination of
the connection method or pin assignment.
Road safety
Road safety has utmost priority.
You should therefore always use your car ra-
dio equipment in such a way that you remain
alert to the current traffic situation.
Remember that if you are moving at 50 km/h,
then you will cover 14 m in one second.
We advise against making any adjustments in
critical situations.
It must be possible to hear warning signals
from, for instance, police or fire service vehic-
les promptly from within the vehicle.
You must therefore only listen at a suitable
volume when travelling.
To ensure that your vehicle remains fit for the
road after fitting or modification, check that
•
all the buttons or switches on the stee-
ring wheel and on the steering column
that serve purposes other than opera-
ting the radio or navigation device still
fulfil their function in accordance with
the vehicle’s instructions for use, and
that
•
all the buttons or switches on the stee-
ring wheel and on the steering column
whose purpose is to operate the radio
or navigation device do fulfil their
function in accordance with these in-
structions, and in particular that they
do not have any unexpected effects.
