Limitations 

 

Video only

 

The interface inserts ONLY video signals into the infotainment. For inserting 
Audio signals either the possibly existing factory audio-AUX-input or a FM-
modulator can be used. 

 

 

Factory rear-view camera 

Automatically switching-back from inserted video to factory rear-view camera is 
only possible while the reverse gear is engaged (no delay of the switching 
possible). Automatic switching to the factory rear-view camera does not work 
from the video mode of a video source connected to the video input of the 
interface. 

 

After market front camera  

The front camera will automatically be switched for 10 seconds after 
disengaging the reverse gear. A manually front camera switching isn’t possible.
