4. Align the camera left/right and temporarily tighten the supplied bolts/screws. If required to
angle the camera down, mount the camera with the supplied wedges onto the mounting plate
as shown below.
.
5. Mount the license plate onto the license plate bracket.
6. Choose a routing path for the camera’s power cable through the vehicle’s body to the reverse
light circuit. If in doubt, seek professional installation assistance.
7. Some vehicles may have a hole to pass the wire through. For example, the location of the
license plate light is mounted, or you can drill a hole close to the power cable that will attach
to the camera. Once you have determined where the cable will enter the vehicle’s trunk,
remove the camera. If you are able to use an existing opening or hole, skip the next two
steps.
8. If you are going to drill a hole, choose a location as close to the camera where the power cable
comes out. Before you drill a hole you MUST CHECK WHAT IS BEHIND THE DRILLING
LOCATION. If there are any vehicle components, like electrical parts or fuel system
components behind the drilling location, you must take precaution not to damage them.
Remove the license plate and camera before drilling.
9. After you have drilled a half inch (1/2”) hole, pass the camera wire connector through the hole
into the vehicle and place the grommet in the hole around the camera wire. You must use the
grommet to prevent the metal edge of the hole from cutting the camera cable.
10. Mount the transmitter box inside the trunk. Connect the camera cable and the power cable to
the transmitter box.
11. Find the vehicle’s reverse lights. Turn the vehicle’s ignition key to the accessory position,
engage the parking brake and put the car in reverse. Look at the vehicle’s tail lights to see
where the reverse white lights are located.
To locate the reverse light’s 12V+ wire, it is necessary to access to the rear part of the
vehicle’s tail light.
For help locating the vehicle’s reverse light circuit, contact your vehicle’s manufacturer for
vehicle specific wiring diagrams.
12. Once you have located the reverse light circuit, you need to route the power cable supplied to
that location. Fasten the power cable securely to prevent it from being caught on any vehicle
component like the trunk hinge.
Never
route the cable on the outside of the vehicle.
