VSW: Video switch
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5, 2012 BMW X5, and 2011 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the image from the back-up camera is not transferred to the head unit, rather to the video switch.
If the head unit is unable to process video signals, the digital video switch converts the Composite Video Burst Synch signal (CVBS) of the back-up camera into an LVDS signal. Depending on requirements, either the camera image or the image of the head unit is transferred to the Central Information Display.
