FRAC FAQ - What is the VIM Function

Probably the most-asked question I get about the FRAC Harness is, What is VIM? Or... what is this extra "power" switch for?

I've created a video to answer the question.

The 1/0 (on-off) switch is for the VIM function. It controls the Vehicle In Motion function which is separate from the camera function. See the text from the FRAC Installation manual below:

VIM OPERATION NOTES

The FRAC VIM switch should be left in the “On” or “1” position for normal operation. The VIM Switch Enables all Head Unit Function at any time. It does not affect the Camera Operations. If your passenger wishes to enable Nav functions while in motion, turning the VIM switch off to the “0” position will do this. When the VIM switch is off, the vehicle icon on the GPS moving map display may stop moving or move erratically. This is normal if VIM is off while moving. Once the desired Nav entries are made and the VIM switch is returned to the ”on” position, the GPS should start updating the position icon within approximately 10 seconds.
