Generally, the CAN-BUS wires are connected for changing modes by original buttons. • When the reverse gear is not detected by CAN-BUS, the 'REVERSE 12V IN wire’ should be spliced with 12V power of reverse light. HDMI device-related • HDMI mode accepts general-screen resolution of HDMI devices. If screen size of HDMI does not fit on the monitor, should adjust screen size & position in 'settings mode'. • Generally, '5V 1A Power output(5V USB POWER)' is a standard voltage for charging smartphone. If you need higher voltage than 5V, you should add a separate power supply. Navigation(GPS) box-related • When you connect the power wires(B+, ACC) to the navigation(GPS) box, the 'ACC (12V) OUT' wire supported by device should be spliced with an ACC wire of navigation box. • After installation is done, select an applicable navigation(GPS) box model in the 'Navigation model selection menu' of setting car-solutions.commode. • The navigation box should be powered off before unplugging the HDMI cable. 3 www.car-solutions.com [email protected] ⓐ ⓑ ⓒ ⓓ ⓔ Exterior ⓐ DIP SWITCH ⓑ AV IN / OUT ⓒ TOUCH IN ⓓ MODE ⓔ POWER / CAN ⓕ HDMI IN ⓖ 5V USB POWER ⓗ NAVI IN ⓘ UART I/F ⓙ LVDS OUT ⓕ ⓖ ⓗ ⓘ ⓙ car-solutions.com www.car-solutions.com [email protected] 4 Components Power / CAN Cable LVDS Cable LVDS PCB HDMI Cable AV IN / OUT Cable 5-pin Micro USB Cable Optional Parts(sold separately) Optional Parts(purchased separately) TTA 24-Pin to HDMI Gender Touch-IN Cable Mode Switch iNAVI CUBE LCD Cable HDMI Cable HDMI extender (For iNAVI CUBE) car-solutions.com(Male to Male) (For stick type HDMI device) 5 www.car-solutions.com [email protected] Touch screen panel Full Installation Diagram GND Input MMI DATA Pin Specification B+ Power Input 1 5 9 13 10 ※ Optional External Devices Mode GND Output 12V ACC Power Touch IN Cable Switch Output (Navigation Power) (Installation Type A) (optional) 4 8 12 16 RV-CAM Video Input External Rear View 12V Power Output & GND Output(RV-CAM Power) Camera Reverse Signal Detection(optional) MON CAN wires (Some vehicles should be connected the 'MON CAN wires'.)

Errors and omissions excepted - 1 - Short copy Audi Avantissimo – a new form of dynamism and luxury At the 2001 International Automobile Exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany (the ‘IAA’), Audi is exhibiting the Avantissimo concept study. This is a vision from the company that makes the cars bearing the four-ring badge – a high- performance Avant for the luxury car class. Avantissimo: the name itself expresses the superlative element in this design study, which is a clear display of dynamism and luxury in a unique form. It has been given to a design study which, like the Avant concept itself, opens up a new dimension. Avant is the name for beautiful estate cars that reach equally high standards of dynamism and high-tech engineering. For more than ten years now, Audi has pursued a new path with its Avant models – one that adds an emotive element to pure logic. Dynamism is certainly not lacking in the power unit chosen for the Audi Avantissimo. The 4.2-litre V8 engine with ‘biturbo’ forced aspiration mobilises more than 316 kW (430 bhp) and endows the car with the performance of a supersport model.
