IBUS fom resellers.

[pw44]

Hi guys,
i got the usb ibus inteface from resellers, and would like to know if someone here is using one of this in a 2006 E53 with OBC and DVD without NAVI,
The question is regarding the NTSC wire, and where shall it be connected.
Thx in advance!

• IBUS: This is the actual IBUS wire that runs throughout your car:
  1. By the headunit
  2. By the radio
  3. By the navigation module
  4. By the steering wheel module
  5. By the HIFI amp module (usually in the trunk)
  6. By the telephone (usually in the armrest)
  7. By the CD-changer (usually in the trunk)
  
  You have to tap the wire wherever you get hold of it, and connect it to the IBUS pin.
  I can't help you on the specific connectors and wire colors of your car since:
  Almost every BMW model / year / country has different connectors and coloring of cables.
• +12V: This is a connection to the +12V battery supply
  Interfaces can use any +12V supply you can get hold of. Make sure you have a real "supply" line. Some lines have +12V when you check with a multimeter, but they are actually control-lines that will go off now and then...
  Do not worry about power consumption with the V6 when connecting to a permanent supply (or the battery itself)
  When in standby, the interface uses about the same amount of power as the digital clock in the car.
• GND: This is a connection to any regular ground in your car (ground means minus "-" of your battery)
• NTSC: This is a connection to the rear-view camera enable pin of your head unit
  Some software uses the CTS line of the com port to control this signal. (Make sure your software supports this)
  This has to be connected to the rear-view camera enable pin of your head unit
  As said before, I have no idea on which model you can find this pin and where.

pin 17 on the blue connector for you t.v. is the reversing camera switch but you do not need to connect this to your interface to get it to work.hope this helps
