Daisy Chain Melbus Cable
Based on customer feedback Sensolutions now offers a daisy chain Melbus cable that allows several
Melbus devices to be connected at one time. It is intended for connecting several iMIV devices together,
or an iMIV device and factory peripheral such as a CD Changer or Satellite Radio.
Installation is as simple as connecting the female end of the cable to the existing Melbus cable and the
male ends to the Melbus devices. Please note that two devices cannot exist on the same radio channel.
Ie, you cannot have the CD Changer and an iMIV/MII device emulating a CD Changer connected at the
same time.
CD Based RTI Installation
For customers who have vehicles that are equipped with a CD based RTI system, we provide the CD RTI
connector. This connector is for customers who wish to install an iMIV Classic, iMIV LE or MII LE device
alongside an existing CD based RTI system. This will provide power for the iMIV device from the CD RTI
system. The main reason that we do not officially support CD based RTI devices is the inconsistent video
performance. Some customers will see black and white images, while others will see color. This can be
constant, or infrequent when switching channels. Audio is not affected, and all other features function
as designed.
This requires one of our cables with the large green DVD-RTI connectors. In order for the pins to be
inserted into the new connector they must be removed from the original connector unharmed. Note
that there are two black wires in the DVD RTI connector, do not get these reversed!
PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE A BLUE POWER CONNECTOR IS SHOWN IN THIS DOCUMENT, THE PROCESS
IS THE SAME FOR ALL VOLVO STYLE CONNECTORS RELATED TO AN IMIV INSTALLATION.
To remove the pins you will need a small elongated object with an approximate diameter of 1.5mm.
Small hex tools, dentist’s picks, solid wire and jeweller’s screwdrivers can all be used.
Start by removing the cable from its packaging; if you are reconfiguring the pins to be used in a CD based
RTI system you will be removing the pins from the large green connector that is intended to plug into
the DVD based RTI system.
You will notice one side of the connector has a latch that clicks into place on the connector body, as
shown below.
