Volvo Video Interface Verzija2
Volvo Video Interface Verzija2
This interface with internal navigation module can insert High definition navigation picture+ 2AV and 1 reverse
camera video into the 2014 Volvo screens, the following are the features.
Interface with internal navigation module and plug and play connectors, It is not necessary to open the monitor, nor the CD unit. Just inserted
behind CD’s video plug and power plug, aftermarket navigation and camera picture can be displayed.
Plug and play connectors are used, the installer does not need to cut any wires. OEM keys are used to switch the interface.
m
Automatic dimmer with the car’s light detection sensor, so the user will not feel too bright in evening‐driving, or too dark in day driving.
High definition internal navigation modules takes SD card for map, various kinds of navigation software are supported.
co
Optional DVD‐free can be installed, so the passenger can watch DVD while driving.
Automatical reverse camera display has these features:
Reverse and guide line signals are generated by CAN bus, the installer does not need to cut any wires.
Guideline width can be adjusted, so whatever camera the installers use, the guideline can always show the safety parking area.
.
The DIP8 can be used to show OEM PDC picture or not.[PDC=radar picture of abstacles]

Note:this Calibration is for touch to control DVD/TV in AV1/2 mode, the navi
mode is done by powring this unit up without SD card in slot.

3.operations:

(1) Switch:
the user may press the OEM keys to switch the interface[NAVI,or empty key below RADIO,or
EXIT].
ar
The user can also use an extra keypad, to short‐circuit the gray wire to ground of the power input
port. [the gray wire is usually 5V, generated from inside interface]
C
(2) Reverse and guidelines:the user goes to reverse, a 12V will be generated by CAN box, and reverse video
will be displayed. The use can also use DIP5 to select OEM video or inserted camera video.
The guideline can be enable/disabled by OSD menu.
(3) OEM keys to control DVD/TV:
1) the user press MEDIA,so audio is switched to AUX。
2) Then by press the switch key, the AV1/AV2 video input of interface is displayed.
3) By pressing the “Fast Farward”,”Fast backward” keys, the MMI will pop up and traversed, a
short press on the switch key will generate the IR code on the gray wire, so DVD/TV is
controlled without remote controller.

4. the 3 side key buttons
The input box has 3 side keys, the installer may use it to tune the picture display, and touch function for the
connected DVD or other devices. The 3 keys are : menu, +, ‐. The first 5 options has separate state memory. The
modification of one input is different not affecting others.
The 3 side keys are : menu, +,‐ respectively. When menu is press, OSD strings will pop up on screen, and the
installer may adjust the best video effect. The +/‐ will change the value.
The brightness/contrast/saturation tunes the color of the current video input.
The position H,position V set the image position on screen.
The DVD/TUNER/NAVI is to set the IR code output to the installed device, so people use original knob or
touch screen to control the installed device in AV1/2 mode. Left/right push will pop up the MMI icons, and
m
push will execute the selected icon.
When set to “none”,the control icons will not pop out
When set to “Prog”,the installer can use DIP6=Down to program the IR code into the interface, so extra
co
new devices can be controlled.
The “Guide CTRL……ON”: the installer can set ON/OFF to enable the parking guide line, which
.
shows the safe zone when parking.
ns
The Guide‐L,Guide‐R parameter will adjust the horizontal offset of the left/right guide respectively.
io
The programming of IR code:
There are >10 types of DVD, NAVI, and Tuners’ IR code are stored inside the interface. The installer just adjusts the options to select to wanted one, then it works. If the wanted type is not there
ut
may set the option to be “Prog” in the menu.
When programming, switch the input to AV1, and set DIP6 down once, then the control icons will be shown, and one of the them will be blinking, which means the suitable IR code is wanted. T
ol
installer should now connect the hardware: connect the IR signal wire of the DVD to the gray‐wire in the power cable of the interface[the IR input wire.], and press once the related IR key.
Then the 2nd icon will be blinking, which means one IR code is read and another code is wanted, the installer just repeat the pressing till all code are read.
When the last icons stops blinking. The installer should change the hardware: connect the IR output wire[RGB port’s 7 pin wire] of interface to the DVD’s IR signal wire. Then when the user rota
-S
the knob or use the touch foil to generate the IR code, DVD will be controlled.
The programming of AV2 is the same as above.
5. Extra control port:

Extra control port
C
This interface has released a lot of hidden functions, so the 3rd party can
use it for various usages.
The Extra control port close to the power connector:
(1) the 4‐pin in the up row:touch screen 4Pin input, when in DVD or TV, the touch foil can be
switched and connected to these 4Pin, so the controller inside can read the touch
operation and location and generate the IR code for DVD etc.

(2) the 5 Pin(TXD2Navi):the input pin to take external control data for internal navi, to replace the touch control。
th
OEM video, this pin=0V.
(5) the 8 Pin(5V_AV1/2):this pin can output 5V with 1A max, which is enough for a relay pull, when in AV1/2 video this pin=5V, otherwise
th
this pin=0V. it can be used to switch the 4Pin touch so one touch foil is shared by navi, and DVD/TV.

This interface can work in terminal mode, a 3 developer or installer can send commands into this pin. E.g. when he sends “switchInput
1\r”,the interface will switch into RGB navi, “switchInput 2\r”,the interface will switch into AV1, when he sends“Help\n”,the interface will tell a list
of available commands. This Pin works in 11.5K baud rate and it losts all sent commands when drops power.

(1) How to update the module software:
Copy the files that provides into a SD card.
When the units power on, the users may see this picture. He just wait the start
ar
Up screen shown again.
(2) How to make a start up Logo:
Make a directory named YP_A5, and put all the file that supplies for a boot.
C
Replace the logo.BMP which contains the logo. Please be sure it must be 800×480,BMP format, and 16
bit in color.
(3) The functions of the icons.
The left picture shows the start up picture, the user may go to each icon to get their respective
function.
When the navigation map is inserted the first time, the user may click the navigation icon, and the
right‐side picture will show up, the user should select the *.exe file to run the map. All the other
functions are self‐explained in the manu.

8. DVD‐free module
This module enables the passenger to watch OEM DVD when the car is driving.
Plug‐n‐play connector is used so the installer just plug it behind the monitor then it
works.
The input side has 2X3 pins, their respective function is explained in the
picture. The output 2X4 connector should be left free.
The 2 sets of CAN wires of the input side can shifted in connection.
The 2X3 pins are[Pins are seen like the blue arrow
above]:
m
1. The left 2,Up=Power+,Down=Ground
2. Center 2:Up=CAN+ input,Down=CAN‐input
3. Right 2:Up=CAN+ output,Down= CAN‐Output.
co
The CAN input/output are connected to
monitor/Cd respectively. They can be switched in
position.
.
ns
The user may long press the OK key to activate/disable the DVD‐free function. It is ON when installed the first time.
io
Attentions:
ut
For Volvo before 2014 [Feature: there is an optical connector behind monitor],this module
should be just inserted on the power plug.
