3. Installation
Switch off ignition and disconnect the vehicle's battery! The interface needs a permanent 12V source. If according to factory rules disconnecting the battery is to be avoided, it is usually sufficient to put the vehicle is sleep-mode. In case the sleep-mode does not show success, disconnect the battery with a resistor lead. If power source is not taken directly from the battery, the connection has to be checked for being start-up proven and permanent.
Prior to wire and device installation we suggest to connect and test correct function of all after-market and factory infotainment equipment!
The interface is installed on the backside of the factory monitor and on the backside of the navigation computer.
3.1. Connecting interface-box and harnesses

Connect female 18pin Micro-Fit connector of harness V4C-BM0x to the male 18pin Micro-Fit connector (POWER) on the front of the interface-box V4C-M637.
Connect female 14pin Micro-Fit connector of the video-harness V4C-VIDEO to the male 14pin Micro-Fit connector (VIDEO) on the rear of the interface-box V4C-M637.
Connect female 16pin Micro-Fit connector of the audio-harness V4C-AUDIO to the male 16pin Micro-Fit connector (AUDIO) on the rear of the interface-box V4C-M637.

If connecting a rear-set-entertainment an optional RCA Y-cable is plugged in between, see chapter "Rear-seat-entertainment"
3.5. Connecting peripheral devices
It is possible to connect 3 after-market AV-sources, therefrom optional an an after-market front camera, an after-market rear-view camera, an after-market navigation and rear-seatentertainment to the interface.
Before final installation of the peripheral devices, we recommend a test-run to detect incompatibility of vehicle and interface. Due to changes in the production of the vehicle manufacturer is always the possibility of incompatibility.
