Frequently Asked Questions - RVCGM-80M CRUX

What vehicles is the CRUX RVCGM-80M compatible with?

The RVCGM-80M is compatible with select 2012-2015 Buick and Chevrolet models equipped with 7" MyLink systems, including Buick LaCrosse and Verano, and Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze, Equinox, Malibu, and Volt.

How do I trigger the front and rear cameras automatically?

The module uses CAN bus communication to automatically switch to the rear camera when reverse gear is engaged, and to the front camera when shifting from reverse to drive. If CAN detection fails, you can use the manual trigger wires: Green wire to reverse light +12V for rear, Blue wire to +12V via toggle switch for front.

Can I adjust how long the front camera stays on after shifting out of reverse?

Yes, the front camera delay OFF time is programmable from 1 to 60 seconds via the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.

How do I configure the settings?

Connect the OSD Control Pad to the module. The OSD menu will appear automatically. Make your adjustments, then select 'Save & Reboot' to apply changes. After setup, disconnect the pad and store it safely.

What is the CAN wire connection procedure?

Tap the WHITE wire (Pin#2) on the RVCGM-80M power harness to the GREEN wire (PIN#28) on the 44-pin OEM connector behind the headunit. This allows automatic reverse detection. If CAN doesn't work, use the manual trigger wires instead.

Do I need to make any DIP switch changes?

Set all DIP switches to OFF (Up). No other DIP settings are needed for normal operation.

The rear camera doesn't turn on automatically. What should I do?

First, verify the CAN wire connection (white wire to pin 28). If that's correct and still not working, use the Green manual trigger wire: connect it to the reverse light +12V. Ensure the module is powered and ground is solid.

What cables are included with the RVCGM-80M?

The package includes: RVCGM-80M module, T-Harness, LVDS Cable, GVIF Video Cables, LVDS Video Extension Board, and OSD Control Pad.

Can I use aftermarket cameras with this module?

Yes, the RVCGM-80M accepts standard composite video inputs for front and rear cameras. Ensure your cameras output a compatible NTSC or PAL signal.

Is professional installation recommended?

While a skilled DIYer can install it, we recommend professional installation to ensure proper CAN bus integration and avoid damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
