FAQ – Trouble shooting Interface functions 

 
For any troubles which may occur, check the following table for a solution before requesting 
support from your vendor.

 

 

Symptom 

Reason 

Possible solution 

No picture/black picture 
(factory picture). 

Not all connectors have been 
reconnected to factory head-
unit or monitor after 
installation. 

Connect missing connectors. 

The ribbon cables have been 
damaged 

Check the ribbon cables and the connectors, 
Change if necessary. 

Not all connectors have been 
reconnected to the head unit 
and the monitor. 

Check the connectors and reconnect all 
disconnected connections. 

No power on video-interface 
(daughter PCB) 

Make sure that the orange colored wire has been 
connected to +12 V S-Contact. 

No picture/black 
picture/white picture 
(inserted picture) but 
factory picture is OK. 

No picture from video 
source. 

Check on other monitor whether video source is 
OK. 

No video-source connected 
to the selected interface 
input. 

Make sure that the video source has been 
connected to the according input. 

Ribbon cable connection has 
been reversed 

Make sure that the ribbon cable connection is 
done correctly: 
“MONITOR OUT or TO LCD” to panel and  
“TO PCB” to mainboard 

Some interfaces can only 
handle NTSC input. 

Check manual whether there is a limitation to 
NTSC mentioned. If yes, set source fixed to NTSC 
output. 

Inserted picture distorted, 
flickering or running 
vertically. 

Camera input picture 
flickers. 

Camera is being tested 
under fluorescent light 
which shines directly into the 
camera. 

Test camera under natural light outside the 
garage. 

Camera input picture black. 

Camera power taken directly 
from reverse gear lamp. 

Use relay or electronics to "clean" reverse gear 
lamp power. Alternatively, if CAN-bus box is 
compatible with the vehicle, camera power can 
be taken from green wire of 6pin to 8pin cable. 

Camera input picture has 
distortion. 
Not possible to switch 
video sources by external 
keypad. 
Not possible to switch 
video sources by external 
keypad. 

Pressed too short. 

For video source switching a longer press of 
about 2.5 seconds is required.  

Interface does not switch to 
camera input when reverse 
gear is engaged. 

The grey wire of the 6pin 
cable doesn’t receive the 
+12V reverse signal 

Apply +12V from the reverse light. Use a relay or 
electronics to "clean" reverse gear lamp power.
