1. Check Your Factory Radio

Before proceeding with the installation, it is crucial to identify your car's factory radio type. This ensures compatibility with the ViaBecs SW5440 unit and helps determine the correct wiring harness needed.

OEM Radio Type A

This radio configuration is characterized by the absence of a factory JBL Amplifier and a factory Backup camera. For this setup, the XC004-SP harness is recommended.

The CAN005-X harness, integrated with Simple Soft Canbus technology, is compatible with both Type 2 and Type 3 car radios. It provides support for factory SWC, the factory JBL amplifier, and the factory backup camera.

To purchase the CAN005-X harness, visit: Amazon.com

Harness Compatibility Note

The head unit is typically supplied with the CAN005-0 harness. If your vehicle features a factory JBL amplifier, you have the option to contact ViaBecs to request a replacement CAN005-X harness. Please provide your shipping address and phone number when making the request.

2. Connecting the JBL Amplifier

Problem: No Sound Output

If you encounter a situation where the car radio produces no sound after connecting the CAN005-0 harness, please follow the troubleshooting steps below:

Solution:

Connect the PIN10 amp control line from the Canbus box to a 12V AMP CONT line. After making this connection, test the audio functionality again.

Description of image: A hand is shown holding a wiring harness connector clearly labeled "PIN10 AMP CONT of CANBUS". Another image depicts a hand connecting a blue wire, identified as "AMP CONT", to this connector.

Utilize the provided blue AMP CONT line. Wire it to the PIN10 amp control line of the Canbus box using a 12V AMP CONT line, and secure the connection with tape.

Description of image: A close-up view of electrical wiring. A red wire, labeled "12+ ACC line or AMP CONT line", is connected to a blue wire labeled "AMP CONT". A third wire, "AMP line of power cable", is also visible in proximity.

Following the connection of the blue AMP CONT line, navigate to the head unit's settings and enable the "Car Amplifier" option. This action should restore sound output.

Note: When the car amplifier's indicator light changes to light blue, it signifies that the amplifier has been successfully activated and will maintain its operational state.

3. Connecting the Factory Backup Camera

If your vehicle is equipped with an original backup camera, follow these steps to ensure proper connection:

1. Connect the yellow female camera line to the male camera connector provided with the power cable.

Description of image: A wiring harness is displayed with multiple connectors. A yellow connector, labeled "factory Backup Camera connector", is shown connected to a cable identified as "CAM VIN & Wifi cable".

Once connected, test the system to verify that the factory backup camera displays an image automatically when the car is shifted into reverse.

3.3 Set Camera Format

The camera format settings for the reverse camera can be adjusted as follows:

• For non-HD cameras, select "Normal -- SD -- NTSC/PAL".
• For HD cameras, select either "HD -- AHD 720P/25fps" or "AHD 1080P/25fps".

Access these settings by navigating through: Car setting > factory setting > enter password "8888" > reverse camera setting.

Description of image: A screenshot from the head unit's interface titled "Reversing camera settings". It presents options such as "Normal", "HD", "Left and right swap", "Top and bottom swap", "360", and various resolution choices like "AHD 720P/25fps". A button labeled "[Restart now]" is visible.

Troubleshooting Backup Camera Issues

Should the backup camera continue to malfunction, attempt to connect the CAM VIN to "Video-IN-1". Subsequently, open the AUX app to check for the camera image display. If this procedure resolves the problem, it suggests a potential fault with the original yellow CAM and Wi-Fi cable. Please contact ViaBecs to obtain a replacement cable.
