4

Tighten both screws.

5

Apply one or two layers of the included adhesive mounting 

tape to the back of the flat mounting bracket, near the bottom 

(optional).
The mounting tape secures the back of the mounting bracket 

to your vehicle using double-sided adhesive. This helps 

reduce camera vibration, especially if your vehicle does not 

provide mounting holes at the bottom of the license plate. 

You can stack two layers of mounting tape if one layer is not 

thick enough to stick to your vehicle. 

NOTE: 

The mounting tape does not replace the license plate 

screws. You must fasten the mount and license plate to the 

vehicle using at least two license plate screws, whether or 

not you attach the mounting tape.

Vehicle Mount Installation for Europe

Installing the Mount on Your Vehicle

1

Remove the rear license plate and license plate holder from 

your vehicle, and retain the license plate screws to install the 

camera mount.

2

Place the camera mount against your vehicle, and align the 

holes in the mount with the license plate mounting holes in 

your vehicle.
The camera mount provides a variety of holes and slots for 

universal vehicle compatibility.

NOTE: 

You can install the mount in either orientation. If you 

are installing the mount with the camera at the top of the 

license plate, you must remove, rotate, and reattach the 

camera clip (

Installing the Camera at the Top of Your License 

Plate

, page 2

).

3

Insert the license plate screws through the mount and into 

the mounting holes in your vehicle.

4

Fully tighten the screws.

Installing the Camera at the Top of Your License Plate

When the mount is installed on your vehicle, the Garmin logo on 

the camera clip must be right-side up. Out of the box, the mount 

is assembled for installing the camera at the bottom your license 

plate. When installing the camera at the top of your license 

plate, you must remove, rotate, and reattach the camera clip. 

This allows you to properly adjust the camera angle.

1

If you have already installed the license plate fasteners, 

remove them by prying up the end of each clip using the 

notches   and sliding them outward.

2

Using a Phillips screwdriver, fully loosen the two camera clip 

screws  .

3

Gently pry open the tabs   along the outer edge of the 

camera clip, and remove the camera clip from the mount.

4

Rotate the camera clip 180 degrees, so the Garmin logo is 

facing right-side-up.

5

Snap the camera clip back into the mount, and tighten both 

screws.

Installing Your License Plate into the Mount

1

Insert the edge of the license plate behind the tabs along the 

narrow edge of the holder, and swing the bottom edge of the 

plate into the mount.

2

Insert the two license plate retainer clips into the slots in the 

holder, and slide them toward the middle.

3

Press the ends of the retainer clips until they click into the 

holder.
