Testing the reverse camera function

the vehicle.
Installing the camera....cont
2. After you have insulated the join you can connect the power harness to the
camera.
NOTE:
Some cars that run LED or computer controlled lighting systems may not deliver
enough voltage to run the camera. If the voltage at the reversing wire light is less
than +12 volts it may be necessary to use a relay to supply power to the transmitter
harness from the wiring in the front of the car. In this case the reversing light only
needs to trigger the relay. Make sure that you do not drill holes in the panels that
have an opposite face that is visible outside the car for example guard panels. In fact,
whenever drilling holes in the bodywork of a vehicle, always see what is on the other
side.
3. Connect one end of the supplied RCA cable to the RCA socket from the camera,
then run the RCA cable to the front under side of the driver side dash board. This is
where the monitor’s loom will be located. To do this you will need to remove the rear
seat to pass the cable into the cabin area and you will need to remove the door scuff
plates to run the wire along the side of the vehicle. The RCA cable will be hidden when
you replace the scuff plates. When the cable is at the front of the vehicle the RCA
cable needs to be run from the scuff plate area to the underside of the dash behind the
kick trim (remove and run cable).
4. The monitor has two power wires to be connected. Connect the red wire
(acces12V) to a wire that is energized when the vehicles accessories is turned
on. Connect the black wire to a ground earth wire or to the body of the car using the
steel of the cars body behind the kick trim as an earth. In this case drill a small hole
and connect the wire using a suitable ring terminal. Scrape off the cars paint around
the hole to ensure good earth.
5. Connect the RCA cable to the RCA socket from the monitors loom.
