Connections: BLK-AXBUC-VW92
The diagram illustrates the connections for the BLK-AXBUC-VW92 harness. It shows an 'Interface End View' with a dipswitch panel labeled 'ON VE' and numbered 1, 2, 3, 4. The interface module is connected via the BLK-AXBUC-VW92 harness to a 'Vehicle Connector'. The harness also splits to connect to an 'Aftermarket Radio', with specific wires designated for 'Radio Connections': Black for Ground, Yellow for Battery, and Purple for Reverse. The 'Aftermarket Radio' diagram shows typical input ports like Front, Rear, Sub, AUX-IN, SWC, and a Rear View 'CAM OUT' port.

Installing the Interface & Dip Switch Settings
Connect the AXBUC-VW92 to the wiring harness in the vehicle located at the radio location (26-pin connector).
Installation Steps
- Connect Ground wire from the VW92 to the aftermarket radio's ground wire.
- Connect the Yellow wire from the VW92 to the Yellow wire of your aftermarket radio.
- Purple is a Reverse input; connect the reverse trigger from your vehicle or interface to this wire. Do not connect this wire to the vehicle's BCM for the reverse signal. VW uses PWM circuitry; if connected to the BCM, the backup camera will flicker while the vehicle is running. You must find a dedicated reverse signal or use an interface that provides a reverse output.
- Plug in the CAM OUT Video cable into the rear view camera input of your aftermarket radio.
- Plug in the White connector into the interface box.
- Plug in the vehicle connector and test.
Dip Switch Settings
If after the AXBUC-VW2 is installed your screen quickly flashes the backup camera, or is displaying a blank screen when you put the vehicle into reverse, you will need to adjust the dip switches on the side of the interface.
If screen is blank or flashing while in reverse, try this sequence:
Interface End View: Shows the dipswitch panel labeled 'ON VE' with switches 1, 2, 3, 4.
Dipswitch Detail: A closer view of the four dip switches.
- Step 1: Set Dip Switch 3 to OFF. - If not working go to step 2.
- Step 2: Move all Dip Switches to OFF - If not working go to step 3.
- Step 3: Flip Dip Switch 3 ON, leaving 1,2,4 OFF.
