Cautions
The ‘POWER / CAN Cable’ should always be connected last and be disconnected first.
•
The 'Mode Switch' is an optional part to change modes forcibly without CAN-BUS.
Generally, the CAN-BUS wires are connected for changing modes by original buttons.
•
When the reverse gear is not detected by CAN-BUS,
the 'REVERSE 12V IN wire’ should be spliced with 12V power of reverse light.
tio
ol
u
HDMI device-related
•
HDMI mode accepts general-screen resolution of HDMI devices(1080P / 1920*1080).
If screen size of HDMI does not fit on the monitor, should adjust screen size & position in 'settings mode'.
Generally, '5V 1A Power output(5V USB POWER)' is a standard voltage for charging smartphone.
If you need higher voltage than 5V, you should add a separate power supply.
r-s
•
ns
•
Navigation(GPS) box-related
•
When you connect the power wires(B+, ACC) to the navigation(GPS) box,
the 'ACC (12V) OUT' wire supported by device should be spliced with an ACC wire of navigation box.
ca
.c
o
m
Device-related
•
You should check the names and colors of each wires exactly, before you connect the wires.
ex) CAN HIGH: White wires / CAN LOW: Blue wires
•
After installation is done, select an applicable navigation(GPS) box model in the 'Navigation model selection
menu' of setting mode.
•
The navigation box should be powered off before unplugging the HDMI cable.
