Quick Installation:
The backup camera system is compatible with a wide range of vehicles
and video display monitors
.
This kit includes necessary wiring and cable connector accessories sufficient for typical connections. However,
additional accessory cables and installation materials may be necessary for a completely secure and
operational backup camera performance system.
Connect the camera, using the red cable, of the DC 12V power cable, to the positive 12V reverse tail light in the
rear of your car
.
You may need to temporarily remove an interior panel or other cover.
Then,
connect
the black
wire,
of the DC 12V power cable,
and ground properly. This connected power and ground cable connects
to the
camera, and will supply power to the
camera directly.
(Red wire is positive, black wire is negative)
Then use the included yellow RCA video connector cable, and run that cable to the yellow RCA video connector
jack
of the camera,
to the RCA video connector of a compatible video display monitor.
*The system includes an additional video input connection, so you will have the ability to connect an additional
video input source. The input source is then selectable via button on the mirror monitor assembly. (V1/V2)
Connect the monitor using the included power and video wiring harness. Using the red cable, of the power
and
video wiring harness, connect
to your vehicle's fuse panel
(preferably to the 12V ignition switch)
-
which will only
be powered when your vehicle is on, or activated by key.
Then connect the black wire, of the DC 12V input, and
ground properly. The green wire, on the power and video wiring harness, is the 12V reverse gear positive
trigger, which will provide a picture, to the mirror video monitor assembly, when the gear is placed in reverse.
The power and video wiring harness then connects to the mirror video monitor assembly. This connection
will
supply power to the monitor directly.
*Refer to the installation / wiring diagram in the manual
Caution: This unit is designed to operate on a 12V/24V DC NEGATIVE GROUND electrical systems. Connecting to other types of electrical
