Installation
These instructions do not apply to all vehicles. They are only meant as a general guide
due to the number of different makes & models.
For vehicle specific questions contact your vehicle’s manufacturer.
MONITOR INSTALLATION
When choosing a location to mount the monitor, make sure the
monitor is in an area that will not obstruct your vision while driving.
Choose a Location and Install Power Cable
1. Temporarily place the monitor in the location that you have chosen.
2. Route the power cable to the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket/12V
power outlet. The cable must not interfere with the safe operation
of the vehicle.
Mounting the Monitor
Before mounting the monitor, clean the mounting surface well.
1. Position the suction mount to the smooth surface which suits your
requirement.
2. Press the suction cap against the smooth surface such as
windshield or dashboard.
3. Press the lock down to attach and fix the mount to the surface.
4. Snap in the monitor to the suction mount.
5. Adjust the mounting arms to suit your view angle to the monitor
and tighten the screws on the mount to fix the position.
To maximize the effectiveness of the suction mount, it is recommended that the application be
performed under the following conditions:
Surface temperature should be between 70°F and 100°F (21°C and 38°C).
Application below 50°F (10°C) should be avoided.
Application should not occur in direct sunlight.
Mounting should be protected from exposure to direct sunlight for a period of 24 hours.
MONITOR POWER CONNECTION
Use the 12 Volt cigarette lighter adaptor plugged into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter
socket.
Power Cable with 12 Volt Cigarette Lighter Adaptor
1. Insert the small 12 Volt DC plug of the power cable into the right side of the monitor.
2. Plug the 12 Volt cigarette lighter adaptor into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.

CAMERA INSTALLATION
You can mount the camera using the top or bottom mounting bolts or screws of license
plate. Ensure the camera viewing is not obstructed. The supplied wedge shaped spacers
can adjust the camera mounting angle vertically.
1. Loosen the license plate bolts or screws and remove the rear license plate.
2. Insert each license plate bolt into a supplied wedge shaped spacer, through the bolt holes of
the camera, and through the remaining wedge shaped spacer and the license plate.
3. Align the holes on vehicle and temporarily tighten the license plate bolts/screws. The wedge
shaped spacers will make the camera face downward.
4. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Mount the transmitter box inside the trunk. Connect the camera cable and the power cable to
the transmitter box.
9. 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.

5. Some vehicles may have a hole to pass the wire through. For example, the location where
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.
NOTE: UNDER EXTREME BRIGHT LIGHT CONDITIONS, THE SCREEN IMAGE MAY TAKE A
FEW SECONDS TO STABILIZE. PLEASE WAIT UNTIL THE IMAGE HAS STABILIZED
BEFORE BACKING UP.
3. The monitor’s factory default setting is with the power ON or STANDBY mode. You may switch
between power ON (STANDBY) or OFF by pressing the power button.
