Pairing Additional Cameras with a Garmin
Navigation Device
You can pair up to 4 BC 40 wireless backup cameras with a
compatible Garmin navigation device.

The camera enters pairing mode automatically, and the LED
flashes blue while the camera is in pairing mode. The camera
remains in pairing mode for five minutes. If pairing mode
expires, you can remove and reinstall the batteries.

Bring the compatible Garmin navigation device outside your
vehicle and within 1.5 m (5 ft.) of the camera, and turn on the
navigation device.
3
On the Garmin navigation device, select Settings > Wireless
Camera > Add New Camera .
The device pairs with your camera, and the guidance line
configuration screen appears.
4
Use the on-screen arrows to position the guidance lines, and
select ( Aligning the Guidance Lines , page 5 ).
If the camera or vehicle is not ideally positioned to complete
the guidance line alignment, you can complete the alignment
later from the camera settings.
5
Enter a name for the camera (optional).
You should use a descriptive name that clearly identifies the
location of the camera.
6
Select Done .
After you pair multiple cameras, you can switch between
cameras from the camera view ( Switching Cameras , page 4 )
and set the order in which the cameras appear ( Changing the
Camera Order , page 5 ).
Viewing the Backup Camera
After you pair your camera with a compatible Garmin navigation
device, the camera view appears automatically when you turn
on your navigation device, and you can manually show the
camera at any time.
• If your navigation device is connected to an ignition-switched
power outlet (recommended), turn on your vehicle.
• If your navigation device is connected to an always-on power
outlet, turn on the navigation device.
• To show the camera manually, select / .
• To show or hide the camera using voice commands, say
Show Video or Hide Video .
NOTE: The voice commands may vary based on your
navigation device model. This feature is not available for all
languages or may require additional navigation device setup
for some languages. For more information, see the Voice
Command app or the Voice Control app on your navigation
device, or the navigation device owner's manual.
The camera view appears. When the camera detects the vehicle
is moving forward, the camera automatically stops sending
video, and the navigation device returns to normal operation.
The camera video is dismissed automatically after 2 minutes
and 30 seconds, whether or not your vehicle has moved
forward.
Switching Cameras
You can cycle through the video feeds from all paired cameras.
From the camera view, select .
The video feed from the next camera appears, and the
camera name appears at the top of the screen.
Adjusting the Camera Angle
You can adjust the camera angle up and down to provide the
best view for your vehicle.
1
Drive to a level area with a clear view behind the vehicle.
2
Remove the camera from the mount ( Removing the Camera
from the Mount , page 4 ).
3
Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two adjustment
screws .
4
Tilt the mount up or down.
For most vehicles, the camera should face straight out or
slightly downward.
5
Tighten the adjustment screws to lock the mount in the new
position.
6
Install the camera into the mount.
7 View the camera using your Garmin navigation device
( Viewing the Backup Camera , page 4 ), and verify the camera
angle.
When the camera is angled correctly, the bottom edge of the
video frame should align with the rearmost part of the vehicle,
such as the bumper or trailer hitch. Objects above the
horizon should appear in the top one-quarter to one-third of
the frame.
8 If necessary, repeat this procedure until the camera angle is
correct.
WARNING
After you adjust the camera angle, you must align the guidance
lines ( Aligning the Guidance Lines , page 5 ). If you previously
set up guidance lines, they are not accurate after the camera
angle changes. Failure to properly align the guidance lines could
result in an accident or collision, resulting in death, serious
injury, or property damage.

Gently press the tab on one side of the mount outward,
and pull that side of the camera out of the mount.
