1. Remove the rear license plate.
2. Examine the vehicle to determine the best way to run the power wires to the reverse
lights and the extension cable through the car.
3. The Camera can be mounted above or below the plate. (For surface mounting with the
included bracket, see the next section.) Determine the mounting location that best suits
your needs. Be sure to verify that your installation plan complies with local laws and
requirements.
NOTE: Most states require that the state name, registration stickers, and license
number are not obstructed in any way.
4. Place the camera bracket behind the license plate and line up the holes. Fasten the
camera mounting bracket and the license plate to the vehicle using the anti -theft screws
provided. After installation of screws with the tool provided, place the tool in the glove
compartment or other safe place for future use.
NOTE: If you decide to mount the camera at the bottom of the license plate, you must
first remove the screw that holds the camera to the bracket and flip the camera over
so the picture will not be displayed upside down.
5. Route the camera wiring into the vehicle. The wire can be run through an existing
grommet, behind a tail lamp, under the trunk molding, or if necessary, through a 5/8
inch hole drilled near the vehicle’s rear license plate.
When choosing a wiring path,
make sure the cable will not be damaged or pinched, as this may cause a short circuit
that is not covered by the warranty. If drilling a hole, perform the following steps:
a) Acquire a 5/8 inch drill bit, rust preventive, all of which can be purchased at a
hardware store.
b) Check behind the intended drilling location before drilling to verify that no wires
or mechanisms can interfere with or be damaged during drilling.
c) Check for interference with license plate lights and the hatch release switch
and/or mechanism.
d) Drill a 5/8 inch hole at the selected location.
e) Coat the edge of the hole with rust preventative.
f) Route the camera cable through the grommet and then through the hole.
g) Insert the grommet in the hole to keep water from entering the vehicle.
