Hi all
I am trying to install the Dension AVR unit (on top of the Dension Gateway unit I have already installed).
I have coded the CAPPL module (application part of CCC module) with the following settings:
TV_FRONT_ENABLED
aktiv
VIDEO_DENY_C0B
deny_never
VIDEOMODUL_CCC_B
ece
The codes above is the equivalent of coding the car with the TV option. I also did the activation by adding $601 to the VO (vehicle order) which is the same thing as changing the code above, it means the TV is retrofitted in code terms.
This Dension AVR unit mimics the OEM TV, it connects in to the DCAN bus using pin 9 & 11 on connector 1 (PINOUT X13812 (1)) allowing the unit to be controlled via the iDrive. Then the video signal is fed in via the pins 2 & 4 on connector 3, (PINOUT X13814 (3)). I have attached a copy of the pinout on the CCC module. Here is the install guide for the AVR. The wiring is actually plug & play with the exception of the ground wire that goes to the handbrake switch:

I have checked all the wiring in the car with a multi-meter & everything is as it should be. I have used the Sat Nav retrofit guide & TV retrofit guide (attached) as an aid to working out what wiring goes where, the wiring all looks to be in order. I even borrowed a brand new Dension AVR unit (thanks Germaniks!) just to prove out that the unit was not faulty. I am beginning to think that the Dension Gateway unit is actually faulty but the Gateway has been working fine as a standalone unit for the past 2 years.
Here is the guide on the Dension Gateway:

The only thing I’m not sure about now is if the Dension Gateway is faulty. Very frustrating!
