The letter at the end is merely the software version of the head-unit, newer
versions are likely to not be compatible as well! Only the last 6 digits/numbers
are relevant.

The part number of the head-unit can be displayed on the monitor:

Coding Vehicle must be coded by diagnosis computer to rear-view camera. The

vehicle can only be coded if it is equipped with a factory optical parking
distance system with graphical display on the monitor.

1.3. Coding of the vehicle

Alternatively to the coding via VCDS software described here, the camera coding can be
done by the separately available coding dongle “OBD-301-R”.

In order for an MIB-based factory head-unit to switch to the rear-view camera input picture
when reverse gear is engaged, the vehicle needs to be coded correctly. This coding is not
part of the product RL-MIB2 and must be done with a diagnosis tool in combination with
coding software.
Below as example, coding with VCDS software – no liability for correctness!
Changes is vehicle or coding software are subject to changes which may lead to different
coding requirements. In this case contact the supplier of your coding software.

Coding example for a vehicle with opticaly park distance display (OPS) – German VCDS

Choose „10-Einparkhilfe 2“ Choose„Zugriffsberechtig 16“

Enter code „71679“ – no liability Choose „Codierung – 07“

Choose „5F-Informationselek. I“ Choose „Codierung – 07“

Choose„Assistent für Codierung“ In Byte 19 set bit 4 to „Rear View Camera

After coding, head-unit must be reset. On most head-units by long-pressing (about 20

seconds) of the ON/OFF key. 6

2. Installation

To install the interface, first switch off the ignition and disconnect the vehicle’s battery.
Please read the owner`s manual of the car, regarding the battery`s disconnection! If
required, enable the car`s Sleep-mode (hibernation mode)
In case the sleep-mode does not succeed, the disconnection of the battery can be done
with a resistor lead.

2.1. Place of installation

The interface is installed on the rear of the factory head-unit. At least 3 versions of head-
units can be distinguished:

1. Radio/nav-computer with drive in the glove-box

2. Black-box separately behind the monitor
3. Integrated as all-in-one head-unit with monitor
