Vehicle installation

Once the camera has established a connection to the display device, it’s ready for 
installation in the vehicle. Unplug the pieces of the assembly (camera, master cable, 
vehicle charger) before continuing. The master cable should remain connected to 
the transmitter.

1.  Unscrew the rear license plate.

2.  Pass the camera cable through to the interior of the vehicle.

NOTE:

 It may be necessary to drill a 3/8" hole through the metal behind the  

license plate. Insert the rubber grommets around the hole to shield the cable from 
the metal.

3.  Mount the camera to the top of the license plate, with the metal bracket  

 

 

either in front of or behind the license plate, and reattach the license plate with   

 

the screws.

There are two options for powering the backup camera:

A.  Rear power source—

• This is the default and only configuration supported for the smartphones.

• Plugging the vehicle charger into a rear power source in an SUV or similar 

vehicle provides continuous power to the camera. The camera view will 
display when the app is opened. This installation does not require any  

 

modifications to the vehicle wiring. 

B.  Reverse lights—

• Recommended when backup camera is used with an OverDryve

 device.  

This configuration is NOT supported on smartphones.

• Connecting directly to one of the reverse lights will display the camera view 

within the app when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.  

 

 

(

NOTE:

 Professional installation is recommended.
