7. Connect the trigger wire(s) as needed. Please see Fig. A for trigger wire colors and
functions.
8. If you wish to use the on-demand activation feature, run and mount the toggle switch
on the BCI-CH21 harness to the desired location. PLEASE NOTE: If you are not
adding a front camera, the on-demand switch will only function when triggered one
way.
9. If you wish to use the forced reverse camera / on-demand feature on any of the
vehicles listed in Fig. C, and the vehicle is equipped with a factory reverse camera,
you may need to use programmable output 1 (10A, set to “Accessory” by default) to
power up the factory reverse camera. To do this a wire must be ran from the BCI-
CH21 harness to the factory power wire for the reverse camera. The location of this
wire will vary depending upon which vehicle you are installing the BCI-CH21 into.
See below for the different locations. Please Note: If the customer does not wish to
use the forced reverse camera / on-demand activation feature, or the reverse camera
image is present when using these features, you do not have to locate and connect
this wire.
10. If you are adding an additional A/V input: Connect the A/V outputs from the source
to the A/V inputs on the radio side of the BCI-CH21-AUX harness. If you have more
than one source, the AVS21 or any other universal video switcher must be used (sold
separately).
11. Connect the BCI-CH21 harness to the back of the factory radio.
12. If adding reverse camera or additional A/V inputs, connect the BCI-CH21-AUX
harness to the back of the factory radio. If your vehicle was not equipped with a
factory reverse camera, there will most likely be nothing connected to the vehicle side of this harness.
13. Turn the ignition to the on position.
14. Plug the 4-pin and 20-pin plugs on the BCI-CH21 harness into interface connector 1 and 2.
15. Both LEDs will blink green while the module is initializing. Once initialized, LED1 will turn solid red and LED2 will begin blinking green. If
LED2 blinks red, there is a problem with the data connection to the factory radio. In this case please refer to the troubleshooting section
on page 6.
16. Turn the vehicle off, shut the doors and lock the vehicle with the factory keyfob. Wait 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn vehicle back on
and test BCI operation (see operation section on page 5).
Reverse Camera Wire Location - Caravan / Town & Country / Routan
1. You will need to locate the reverse camera wire in the rear harness located above the rear door trim panel (Fig D).
2. The reverse camera wire is the White / Green wire (test with a DMM to verify 12v when the vehicle is shifted into reverse) (Fig E).
3. Connect programmable output 1 (10A, set to “Accessory” by default) from the BCI-CH21 harness to the White / Green wire using a diode
(Fig F). The diode is needed to prevent the reverse lights from coming on when the reverse camera is activated.
4. Verify that the reverse lights do not come on when the forced reverse camera / on-demand feature is activated.
