Add a camera to Mercedes with OEM NTG 5.0 systems

No special coding is needed as the interface integrates with the LVDS cable behind the vehicle head unit. The rear camera will activate as soon as reverse gear is engaged. The front camera will only activate if reverse gear is selected and then immediately afterwards drive forward gear is selected. The interface has a feature to allow manual activation of the front camera, this is done by pressing and holding the VOICE button on the steering wheel, this feature also allows the front camera input to be used as a general video input for DVD and other video devices.

PLEASE NOTE

On some NTG5 systems the screen may display a warning message when activating reverse gear:

“Pay Attention to the environment around the vehicle”

If this occurs then a software update is required to remove the message.

1. Download the software update following this link
2. Use a TF memory card and format it to FAT32, then copy the file to the TF Memory card;
3. Plug the TF card into the interface and power on, the blue LED will flash quickly for around 30 seconds
4. When finished the interface will flash normally and then power off the interface and unplug the card.

The file name can not be changed, otherwise the system can't update.
