connector.

  

 

If

 

you

 

connect

 

the

 

camera

 

to

 

the

If

 

you

 

connect

 

the

 

camera

 

to

 

the

 

white

 

video

 

input

 

of

 

the

 

mirror

 

assembly,

 

there

 

will

 

be

 

a

Determine

 

the

 

best

 

location

 

for

 

the

 

camera

 

(Keep

 

in

 

mind

 

that

 

you

 

must

 

run

 

the

 

cable

 

from

 

the

 

camera

 

to

 

the

 

transmitter).

 

You

 

may

 

need

 

to

 

drill

 

a

 

small

 

hole

 

in

 

the

 

panel

 

near

 

your

 

license

 

plate

 

(The

‐ 

Be

 

sure

 

when

 

running

 

the

 

connection

 

cables

 

to

 

leave

 

a

 

small

 

amount

 

of

 

slack

 

so

 

you

 

can

 

still

 

move

 

the

 

camera

 

around

 

the

 

license

 

plate,

 

if

 

you

 

decide

 

to

 

slightly

 

adjust

 

the

 

camera's

 

positioning

 

at

 

a

 

later

 

time.

 

‐ 

Test

 

the

 

camera,

 

activate

 

your

if

 

properly

 

connected

 

to

 

a

 

power

 

source.

 

Placing

 

your

 

vehicle
