Mirror/Monitor Mounting
1.
Remove the existing rearview mirror from the windshield and replace it with RearSight mirror/monitor
included in this package. (
Note:
Some vehicles may require a specialized mirror removal tool).
2.
Tighten the base of the mirror stem to the windshield lug using a phillips head screw driver. (
Note:
Vehicles
not equipped with a classic tombstone-style windshield lug will require Rostra service part 250-8586 which
includes a windshield primer and adhesive, as well as a tab designed to be used with all Rostra mirrors.)
3.
Connect the included mirror extension harness to the mirror/monitor harness.
4.
Connect the
Red Wire
to a fused ignition 12-volt power circuit.
5.
Connect the
Black Wire
to a vehicle ground point.
6.
Connect the
Green Wire
to the reverse power circuit at the fuse panel or to the wire that delivers 12-volts of
power to the reverse lamp when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.
Camera Mounting
1.
Locate an area at the rear of the vehicle to mount the camera as close to the centerline of the vehicle as
possible. (
Note:
Make sure that the location chosen is accessible from the interior of the vehicle to provide
access to the camera extension harness and 4-pin minifit connectors.)
2.
Align the supplied drill template to the desired camera mounting location and use a 5/16” (8mm) drill bit to
make an opening with which to route the camera extension harness into the vehicle (
Note:
See camera
mounting options on page 3).
3.
Attach the pre-formed double-sided adhesive included with this kit to the camera base and insert the camera
stud into the previously drilled hole. Press the camera in place lightly in order to complete the next step.
4.
Route the camera extension harness through the supplied washer and nut and tighten the nut to the camera
stud to securely mount it.
5.
Connect the 4-pin minifit connectors of the camera and camera extension harness together (
Note:
See
weatherproofing steps on page 4).
