You can configure AI Multicam Hub features—like Pedestrian Collision Warning (PCW) and in-cab monitor triggers—without connecting physical trigger wires, if the vehicle supports CAN bus signals. This simplifies installation and avoids hardwiring into vehicle electronics.
This option is only available for supported vehicles listed in a validated make/model/year (MMY) dataset. These vehicles may broadcast required signals (turn indicators, reverse gear) over the diagnostic port for the AI Multicam Hub to detect.
You must verify signal availability during installation before choosing to skip physical wire connections.
Many vehicles support CAN-based trigger signals, but compatibility can vary depending on factors such as powertrain, engine type, fuel type, trim level, and firmware version.
To determine whether your vehicle supports CAN-based trigger signals, review the topics below.
The listed vehicles are high-probability candidates based on observed signal coverage by make, model, and year. However, differences in trim or firmware may affect signal availability. Always confirm signal presence during installation.
Note
Coverage information is current as of the publishing date and is updated regularly. For guidance specific to your fleet, consult your Account or Sales Representative before making installation decisions.
If you install the Multicam Hub without using physical trigger wires, be prepared to manually verify CAN signal support.
-
Check Vehicle Compatibility to verify your vehicle supports CAN-based trigger signals.
-
Skip the physical trigger wire connection step in your installation process.
-
Complete all other standard installation steps including:
-
Mounting cameras
-
Routing cables
-
Connecting the AI Multicam Hub to the VG and powering it on
-
-
Verify that the vehicle is in a safe environment and the surroundings are clear of hazards.
-
Start the vehicle's engine and then shift the vehicle into reverse.
-
Test CAN-based trigger detection.
-
Verify that the monitor is turned on and displaying a default quad view of all connected camera streams when no turn signals or gear is engaged.
-
Engage the left and right turn signals one at a time.
-
Observe the in-cab monitor when each signal is active.
The monitor should switch from quad view to the full-screen view of the corresponding camera.
This confirms the AI Multicam Hub is detecting CAN-based trigger signals.
-
-
If all signals are confirmed, proceed without installing physical trigger wires.
If the monitor does not respond to turn signals or reverse gear, the vehicle may not reliably transmit trigger signals over CAN.
-
Disconnect the AI Multicam Hub.
-
Reconnect the physical trigger wires as outlined in the standard installation process.
This ensures proper trigger signal detection for features like auto-switching monitor views.
