3. Mount the license plate on the license plate bracket.
4. Choose a routing path for the camera's power cable through the vehicle's body to the reverse light
circuit. If in doubt, seek professional installation assistance.
5.
Some vehicles may have a hole available to pass the wire through, such as where the license plate
light is mounted, or you can drill a hole close to where the power cable is attached to the camera.
Once you have chosen where the cable will enter the vehicle's body, remove the camera.
able to use an existing opening, skip the next two steps.
6. Before you drill a hole, you MUST CHECK and see WHAT IS BEHIND WHERE YOU ARE DRILLING. If
there are any vehicle components, such as electrical parts or fuel system components behind where
you are drilling, you must take whatever precaution is necessary not to damage them. Remove the
license plate and camera before drilling.
7. After you have drilled the hole, insert the supplied grommet, then pass the camera cables through
the grommet into the vehicle. You must use the grommet to prevent the metal edge of the hole from
cutting the camera cable.
8. Next, you'll need to find the vehicle's reverse lights. Turn the vehicle's ignition key to the accessory
position, engage the parking brake and put the car in reverse. Look at the vehicle's tail lights to see
where the reverse lights are located, they are the white lights. To locate the reverse light's 12V/24V
+ wire it will be necessary to gain access to the rear of the vehicle's tail light. For help locating the
vehicle's reverse light circuit contact your vehicle's manufacturer for vehicle specific wiring diagrams.
9. Once you have located the reverse light circuit you will have to route the camera cable to that
location. You must securely fasten the power cable to prevent it from being caught on any vehicle
component such as the trunk hinge. Never route the cable on the outside of the vehicle!
The reverse light sockets on most vehicles have two
wires connected to them. Usually the negative wire is
black and the positive wire is a coloured wire. If you are
uncertain about the wiring, you can use a 12V/24V
multimeter available at most auto parts stores to
determine which is the positive wire. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions for the safe use of the
multimeter.
10. After determining which wire is the positive and which is the negative, turn off the ignition key,
then remove the battery's negative cable.
11. Splice the red wire using the supplied in-line wire connectors to the reverse light's positive (+) wire.
Use a set of slip joint pliers to squeeze the TAP and insure good connection.
