Installation
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).
6.
Route the camera extension harness to the front of the vehicle either above the headliner, underneath the
vehicle scuff plates, or outside of the vehicle using the supplied cable ties to secure it to the vehicle body
along the way.
7.
At the front of the vehicle, connect the male yellow RCA plug of the camera to the female yellow
CAMERA RCA plug of the mirror. (
Note:
The second video input of the mirror is not used with this
application, but is available for a secondary camera.)
8.
Connect the
Red Wire
from the camera extension harness to a reverse-triggered 12-volt power source either
at 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. (
Note:
Either the red wire from the main camera extension
harness or the one directly connected to the male yellow RCA plug needs to be connected to a reverse
power. Both do not have to be connected and the camera will operate with either one receiving power when
the vehicle is in reverse.)
9.
Connect the
Black Wire
from the camera extension harness to a vehicle ground point.
