Special information

Video interface connection The video interface is connected via Bord-insertion (connection to the flat video signal cable of the

stock multimedia system display) without the need to modify original cables and ports. After the video interface is connected, the navigation system is controlled using the original

touchscreen of the stock multimedia system. It can also be controlled using a USB mouse or a keyboard.

Switching between modes To enable the video interface display mode and switch between its operating modes, you can do the

following: • Press the remote button (comes in the package); • Press the original Voice button on the steering wheel.

• Contrast: image contrast adjustment; • Brightness: image brightness adjustment; • Saturation: image saturation adjustment; • Position-H: horizontal image adjustment; • Position-V: vertical image adjustment; • IR-AV1/AV2: IR control settings menu for devices connected to AV1/AV2. When "None" value is

set, control buttons will not pop up when you tap the touch panel; • Guide-L: parking guide line position adjustment; • Ui-CNTRL: switching PDC and IPAS functions on and off; • Guide-CNTRL: switching parking guide lines on and off; • H-SIZE: horizontal image size adjustment; • V-SIZE: vertical image size adjustment.

Note. Depending on the car model, the type and the number of settings may vary.

Touch panel calibration One needs to calibrate the touch panel to ensure its correct operation. Calibration menu pops up

automatically when you switch on the video interface for the first time. To calibrate the touch panel, tap the icons appearing on the screen as accurately as possible. Once the calibration procedure is complete, press Android logo (for VI700A-SYNC2 model) or OK button (for Gazer VI700W-SYNC2 model).

Caution! If the SD card slot is empty or DIP switch No. 6 is set to "On", the touch panel calibration procedure will have to be repeated on every startup

Audio connection There are several ways to arrange audio playback from the video interface:

• Connection via Bluetooth in audio transmission mode (only for VI700A-SYNC2).

To do this, connect the stock multimedia system to the video interface via Bluetooth. Then select

“Only audio” in the video interface Bluetooth settings. This is required for correct operation of Hands-Free function when a mobile phone is connected to the stock stereo system. In this case, when the engine is running and all equipment is fully operational, two devices (the phone and the video interface) will be simultaneously connected to the stock stereo system. The phone will operate in Hands-Free mode, while the video interface will playback all navigation system voice prompts as well as audio tracks.

Configuring DIP switches on the CAN bus signal processing unit

To configure the management of the use standard keys to switch the navigation mode, use the following settings listed in the table below:

Troubleshooting

Malfunction Cause Possible solution No image/ black screen (manufacturer image).

Not all plugs have been connected to the stock head unit or monitor after installation.

Connect the remaining plugs.

No power supplied to CAN unit (not all CAN-unit LEDs light up).

Check CAN unit power supply. Check CAN bus and CAN unit connectivity.

CAN unit is connected to CAN bus in a wrong place. Consult the manual for correct CAN bus connection.

No power supplied to the video interface (not all video interface LEDs light up).

Check whether CAN unit is connected properly. The output voltage on the red wire connected directly to the video interface must be + 12V ACC

No image/ black screen / white image (inserted image) or manufacturer image is displayed incorrectly.

No image from the video source. Use a different monitor to check if everything is OK with the video source.

No video source connected to the selected video interface input.

Check the settings of DIP switches 2 and 3; see which inputs are enabled and switch to those inputs.

LVDS is connected in a wrong place. Double check how LVDS cables are connected; consult the manual if needed. If it does not work when connected to the head unit (CD), connect it to the monitor.

Incorrect image size or positioning. Inserted image is doubled or 4 pictures are displayed on the monitor.

Incorrect video interface monitor settings. Try different combinations of video interface DIP switches 7 and 8. Unplug the power connector after every change of settings to save them. Use 3 additional buttons in the bottom part of the video interface.

Inserted image is distorted, flickering or displayed in black and white.

Video source output is in AUTO or MULTI mode, which causes incorrect detection of the car’s interfaces.

Set the output video source to PAL or NTSC. Best of all is to use one video standard for all video sources.

If the error occurs only after the video source is turned on,

Use one video standard for all video sources.

Some interfaces can process NTSC input only. Consult the manual for any NTSC-related restrictions. If only NTSC standard is supported, set the video source to NTSC output.

Poor quality of inserted image

Image settings have not been properly adjusted. Use 3 buttons available on the video interface to

Incorrect image size setting.

configure image parameters for the corresponding video input.

Incorrect image positioning. Camera feed displayed in black.

Camera draws power directly from the reverse light. Use an extra relay for a stable signal.

Camera feed is distorted. Unable to adjust camera input video settings.

Camera input video settings can be adjusted in AV2 mode only.

Set video interface DIP 3 switch to ON (if AV2 input is not activated yet) and connect the camera to AV2. Then switch to AV2 and configure the parameters. After that, connect the camera to camera input and disconnect AV2 unless it is used for another video source.

Parking sensor operation display.

PDC function is enabled in OSD interface. In compatible vehicles, distance data from the factory-installed PDC system will be displayed on the monitor. If this function is disabled, set All ON in UI-CONTROL menu item.

Chinese symbols when the backup camera is active.

RET or ALL function (designed for the Asian market) is enabled in OSD menu.

Set PDC to ON in UI-CTRL display interface menu.

Unable to switch between video sources with OEM button.

CAN bus interface does not support this function for your car.

Use an external keyboard or a white CAN unit cable to switch between video sources; + 12V voltage must be supplied.

Button presses are too short. A longer button press (about 2.5 seconds) is required to switch to another video source.

The interface fails to switch to camera input when the reverse gear is engaged.

CAN bus interface does not support this function for your car.

Cut the green wire connecting CAN unit with the video interface and supply + 12V from the reverse light. Use an extra relay for a stable signal.

The interface switches between video sources on its own.

CAN bus interface has limited compatibility with your vehicle.

Cut the gray wire connecting CAN unit with the video interface and insulate both of its ends. If the problem persists, clip the white wire as well and insulate both of its ends.
