Setting the DIP switches of the interface box V5C-M625
DIP 1 on the back of the interface box V5C-M625 is used to set the monitor type. The default setting is:
| Head unit | DIP 1 | DIP 2 | DIP 3 |
| COMAND Online NTG5/5.1,
Audio20 NTG5/5.1 (Hi-resolution) |
ON | No function | No function |

Connection schema
Installation
Switch off the 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 in sleep mode. In case the sleep mode does not show success, disconnect the battery with a resistor lead. If a 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 connecting and test the correct function of all after-market and factory infotainment equipment! The interface is installed on the backside of the head unit.
Connecting interface box and harnesses
- Remove the female Quadlock connector of the vehicle harness from the rear of the navigation computer.
- Remove optical leads from the female Quadlock connector of the vehicle harness and insert them into the female Quadlock connector of harness TV-MBN5 at the same position.
