Connecting a VS41 (sold separately)

If you are adding a front camera and two blind spot cameras, or any combination of the three, to the factory radio, a VS41 (sold separately) 

can be used in conjunction with the BCI. Follow the example below to make all inputs work accordingly through the one camera input on 

the factory radio. Connect the 10-pin harness from the VS41 harness into the Expansion Port on the BCI-CH41. Do not manually wire the 

trigger wires, or power and ground leads, when using the Expansion Port connector. When the appropriate CAN-Bus signals are detected (ie. 

reverse, or turn signal) the corresponding camera input will be automatically selected, and it’s video feed will be routed to the factory radio 

display. 

The behaviors of the cameras and output wires can be configured using the BCI app. Please see page 6 for full details on using the BCI app.

5.  Connect the aftermarket reverse camera’s video output to the female 

camera input located on the radio side of the BCI-CH41 harness. If you 

are also adding blind spot and / or a front camera, the VS41 must be 

used (sold separately). See below for VS41 wiring. You can also use any 

universal video switcher and utilize the programmable outputs to trigger 

as necessary.

6. 

Connect the trigger wire(s) as needed. Please see chart for trigger wire 

colors and functions.

7.  If you wish to use the on-demand activation feature, run and mount the 

toggle switch on the BCI-CH41 harness to the desired location. PLEASE 

NOTE: If you are not adding a front camera, the on-demand switch will 

only trigger the reverse camera.

8. 

If you are adding an additional A/V input:

 

Connect the A/V outputs from 

the source to the Rear Media inputs on the radio side of the BCI-CH41 

harness.  If  you  have  more  than  one  source,  the AVS21  or  any  other 

universal video switcher must be used (sold separately).

9. 

Connect the male connector on the BCI-CH41 harness to the factory radio.

10. 

Turn the ignition to the on position.

11. 

Plug the 4-pin and 20-pin plugs on the BCI-CH41 harness into interface connector 1 and 2.

12. 

Both LEDs will blink green while the module is initializing. Once initialized, LED 1 will turn solid red and LED 2 will begin blinking green. If 

LED 2 blinks red, there is a problem with the data connection to the factory radio. In this case please refer to the troubleshooting section 

on page 8.

13.  Turn the vehicle off, shut the doors and lock the vehicle with the factory keyfob. Wait 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn vehicle back on and 

test BCI operation (see operation section on page 4). Sometimes it may take more than one sleep cycle to engage all features, especially 

the performance page feature.
