front installation - Install the KCX403 e.g. under the license plate in the front of the vehicle. To do this, drill an 21 mm hole.
Pass the cable through the hole and press the camera and seal into the hole.
Lay the cable and connect it according to the description given on the next page. Then reinstall the bracket. In variant 2, you may have to Depending on the installation location (front or rear), two cable loops are cut. Otherwise the image will be displayed incorrectly. Please check this setting with the help of a monitor before final assembly.
Connection KCX403
| 1 | Black | (-) Ground |
| 2 | Red | (+) 12V Ignition (terminal 15) |
| 3 | Yellow cinch plug | Video output for connection to a monitor |
| 4 | Yellow cinch socket | Video input for connecting a front camera. |
| 5 | Blue | (+) Input for reversing light |
| 6 | Orange | (+) 12V switching output for switching on the monitor / interface (5 sec. Switch-off delay) or a front camera (10 sec. Switch-off delay). Warning! If the cable is not required, the cable must be insulated and must not come to Ground. |
| 7 | Green Loop | Guidelines (on/off). Cut the cable loop if you want to have displayed no guides. |
| 8 | White Loop | Image display (rotated 0/180°). Cut through the cable Loop for installation according to variant 2. |
| 9 | Blue Loop | Image reproduction (mirrored / normal). Cut the cable loop, if you want to mirrored the image reproduction for front mounting. |
| 10 | Purple Loop | Guide line size (wide/narrow). Cut the cable loop if you want to display narrow guidelines. This is advantageous if the camera is installed high on the vehicle. |
Complete connection
Carry out the following connection if all voltages are available at the installation site in the car (ignition, reversing signal,..)
Rear reversing signal pick-up
Pickup reversing signal front
Connection with front camera
Functionality of the switching electronics
After the 12V reversing signal is no longer present on the blue cable, the video output is switched to the input for a front camera for 10 seconds. During this time, the orange cable has 12V. After these 10 seconds the system switches off. The delay of 10 seconds only works if the circuit at the input of the front camera detects a video signal. If the circuit at the input of the front camera does not detect a video signal, only a delay of 5 seconds will work.
