Frequently Asked Questions - VRFPR-66C CRUX

What vehicles is the CRUX VRFPR-66C compatible with?

It is compatible with Porsche Boxster, Cayenne, Cayman, and 911 models from 2017 onwards equipped with PCM 4.0.

How do I install the VRFPR-66C module?

Remove the radio to access connectors. Unplug the gray Quadlock connector and plug it into the harness. Locate the pink LVDS connector, unplug, and connect LVDS 1 cable. Connect LVDS 2 cable to media player. Tap red wire to +12V (red/yellow) and black to ground (brown). Connect camera power wires to pink output 1. Finally, plug all connectors into the module and test.

How do I configure the front camera?

Use the OSD menu. Set Input FVC to ON. Choose Park Logic (e.g., RGearSpeed). Ensure Power Out 1 is set to CAM. Then set R/F Cam Till for speed deactivation.

How do I activate the interactive lane lines?

In the OSD menu, set RVC Lines to ON. Then select Car Type (e.g., CAYENNE). Adjust line height and width via the settings menu accessed by holding the MENU/HOME button for 2 seconds while the rear camera is active.

Can I connect an external AV source like a DVD player?

Yes, connect to AV-2 or AV-3 input. The vehicle must have a factory AUX input for audio. Set Power Out 1 to AVS or ACC in OSD, and set the corresponding input (Right VC/AV or Left VC/AV) to RCxx.

How do I use the trigger outputs?

The pink wire (Power Out 1) and green wire (Power Out 2) can be set in OSD. Options include CAM (power when interface on), ACC (ignition on), Cam (camera active), RGear (reverse gear), AVS (manual video), or OFF. Recommend CAM for cameras, AVS or ACC for AV sources.

How do I reset the module to factory settings?

In the OSD menu, go to Option 1 and select Factory Reset. This restores default settings.

What do the DIP switches do?

They set the monitor size. For Porsche 7-inch displays, set DIP 1 ON, DIP 2 ON, DIP 3 OFF. Refer to the manual for other sizes.

How do I adjust the OSD menu position?

In OSD settings, you can change Position X and Position Y values. Also adjust Size (Small/Large) and Osd TimeOut (2-20 seconds).

What should I do if the rear camera does not switch on automatically?

Connect the white wire from the harness to an analog reverse gear signal (+12V). Then in OSD, set Cam Trigger to ANALOG instead of CAN.

You can use AV2 or AV3 to plug in an external video source. Please note that the vehicle needs to have a factory AUX Input for audio to be heard through the factory sound system.

Use the PINK wire (12V OUTPUT 1) of the VRFPR-66C harness to power the external video source (max. 1A) of the AV source.

Go to the OSD menu and set "Option 1", menu item "Power Out 1" to "AVS" or "ACC".

In the vehicle's Media menu, activate AUX Input (only necessary for AV source operation) to get sound through the vehicle's audio system. Press the "MEDIA" button for 3 to 5 seconds to go to AV mode.

A short press of the "MEDIA" button (or additionally on touchscreen the swipe gesture) will toggle through the video sources. Each short press will toggle to the next enabled input. If all inputs are enabled the order is:
