NOTE: The W221CAM module operates in (2) configurations. It can either be used to add a backup camera to a
vehicle or to enable an additional video input on a vehicle that is already equipped with a factory backup camera.
Depending on the desired configuration the module can be programmed for Filter: OFF when adding a camera or
Filter: On when a camera already exists. The configurations can be changed by using the USB Updater (downloaded
from www.nav-tv.com). The initial configuration when the module is shipped is designated on both the product box and
the module itself.
The installation of the module is also dependant on the vehicle’s configuration, so please verify the availability of the
factory camera prior to installation, and re-program the module if necessary.
