2. Installation
Switch off ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery! If according to factory rules
disconnecting the battery has to be avoided, it is usually sufficient to put the vehicle in
sleep-mode. In case the sleep-mode does not show success, disconnect the battery with a
resistor lead.
Install the interface at the CAN bus connection of the respective navigation system. Separate
the two CAN BUS cables (CAN-HIGH and CAN-LOW) from the navigation system and connect
them to harness TV-UNI (see picture below).
Connect the red wire to +12V permanent and connect the black wire to ground.
The video-in-motion can be activated and deactivated by DIP 1 or alternatively by the

included loose green cable in connection with a switch (not included in delivery).*
Video-in-motion permanent
With DIP1 to ON the video-in-motion function is activated permanently without disturbing
the navigation performance.
