1.
Remove the protective film covering from the :
a.
Mirror glass
b.
Road facing camera
c.
Passenger facing camera.
2. Slide the new rearview DVM (Digital Video Mirror) onto the existing windshield mounting plate
and secure your DVM to the vehicle windshield. For some 2011 - 2013 Dodge vehicles, attach and
orient the optional adapter to factory windshield as shown. Use Loctite™ to secure the adapter to
the factory windshield mount. If needed, attach optional drop down bracket as shown.
3.
Use a #20 Torx screw driver to tighten the mounting screw.
4.
Adjust the viewing angle for the rearview mirror.
In some vehicles, the position of the manufacturer’s windshield mounting plate may not allow
for proper rearview DVM adjustment for some individuals, especially when the vehicle is
equipped with an overhead console and/or interior emergency lighting. In these cases, the
mounting plate included with the DVM-250 package must be glued to the windshield in a
location that will allow proper adjustment. Loctite #03346 glue is recommended. Please
follow instructions on their package.
5.
The unconnected end of the DVM shielding strap must be
securely connected to the vehicle chassis. The strap should be routed and attached to the metal
structure above the windshield.
The shielding strap must be connected to a metal surface of the vehicle chassis to prevent EMI
and RF interference. Failure to properly connect the shielding strap may cause system
operation issues.
6.
If an Interface Box (IF Box)
will be
installed, skip to #16. Then proceed forward to Step 3
(Interface Box Installation).
7.
If no external sensors are required, an IF Box is not required. If an IF Box
will not be
installed
continue to the next installation instruction.
8.
Place the connector end of the Vehicle Power cable in proximity to the mating connector on the
back of the DVM. Do not plug the cable in at this time.
9.
Leave enough slack in the cable as a service loop for the rearview
mirror adjustment.
10.
Begin routing the cable under the front edge of the headliner and
down the windshield pillar to the desired location for connection to
vehicle power. To conceal the cable it may be necessary to loosen the sun visor mounting
bracket and/or other trim pieces to allow the cable to be tucked in behind the headliner.
Do not route wiring and cabling over sharp metal edges. Where possible, avoid running the
cable parallel to other wiring and/or antenna coax that may be in the vehicle. To prevent
electrical shorts or breakage in the wiring and cabling, do not allow wiring and cabling to be
pinched behind trim pieces, panels, or other physical objects.
