After dismantling the rear view mirror, always first check whether the mirror glass allows enough light from
the LED display to pass through.
•
Connect the display cable to the connector of the display marked ‘bus’. Connect the other side of the display
cable to the ‘display’ connector of the receiver.
•
Connect the power cable to the receiver’s ‘power’ connector and connect it to a 12V power supply.

Hold the display against the mirror glass and judge whether the LEDs are clearly visible through the mirror
glass during the display start-up.

Drill 2 holes of 3.5mm diameter in the underside of the mirror housing. Mount the buttons a maximum of 5
centimetres apart. They can then still be operated simultaneously with the fingers of one hand.
