Product Introducon

Before using the product, make sure to read the manual to ensure that you are installing and using the product correctly. The product will not work with all makes/models and may not work with older vehicles.

The NexiGo D80 Rearview Mirror Dash Cam is a must-have for your vehicle. It is not just a dash cam and also has a rear camera as well to make sure you can see everything around your vehicle. It records videos from both cameras simultaneously, capturing everything that's going on while you are driving, or even while parked. The NexiGo D80 Dash Cam also has an emergency capture function. If you are involved in an accident the system will automatically capture and store footage of the incident. This can help provide crucial evidence in the event of an emergency or accident.

Rear Camera Installation

Rear Camera Installation Quick-View

1. Select the location where you want to install the rear camera
   Recommended Location 1: Above the rear license plate
   To mount the rear camera, remove the protective covering on the double-sided tape of the rear camera and secure it above the license plate as close to the center of the vehicle as possible. Ensure that you are not blocking any sensors, latches, buttons, your license plate, or any other items needed for vehicle operation. Please ensure that the rear camera lens is pointed outward before securing the unit.
   Note: If you need to adjust the angle of the rear camera, please use the exterior bracket (Mount for rear camera) to install the rear camera.
   

Please refer to the following installation guideline:

1. Locate the package containing the exterior bracket (Mount for rear camera).
   
2. Peel the backing from one side of the double sided tape and apply the tape to the exterior bracket as shown in the images below.
   
3. Attach the rear camera to the exterior bracket using the provided short screws, but do not fully tighten the screws. Once you have confirmed that the angle of the camera is correct you can then tighten the screws to secure the unit in place.
   
4. Then attach the rear camera to the vehicle either using the exterior bracket mounting tape or the provided long screws.
   

Recommended Location 2: Inside the vehicle
Please refer to the following installation guideline:

1. Locate the package containing the interior bracket (Mount for rear camera).
   
2. Peel the backing from one side of the double sided tape and apply the tape to the interior bracket as shown in the images below.
   
3. Attach the camera to the interior bracket using the provided short screws as shown below, but do not fully tighten the screws.
   
4. Remove the protective covering on the tape of the rear camera to expose the sticky glue surface, and then attach the bracket and the rear camera together as shown below.
   
5. Once you have confirmed that the rear camera angle is correct you can then tighten the screws to secure the unit in place.
   
6. Once the rear camera is attached to the interior bracket, remove the other side of the double sided tape and secure the rear camera inside your vehicle as close to the rear windshield as possible.
   

2. Remove your trunk's interior panel
   Note: This step is only needed if mounting the rear camera on the exterior of the vehicle.
   Open your trunk and insert the pry tool or another trim removal tool behind the interior trunk panel and pry it off as shown in the image below. Removing this panel will expose one of the vehicle's rear wiring bays so that the wiring for the rear camera can be run cleanly.
   
3. Conceal the rear camera cable
   Note: This step is only needed if mounting the rear camera on the exterior of the vehicle.
   Use the pry tool to remove the tailgate trim strip as shown below, and then insert the rear camera cable into the trunk of the vehicle through the holes revealed. Replace the trim panel once all wiring has been completed.
   
4. Connect the rear camera cable to the rear camera extension cable
   
5. Connect the red trigger wire to one of the reverse lights
   Note: This step is only needed if mounting the rear camera on the exterior of the vehicle.
   1. Locate your reverse lights. The location will be different from vehicle to vehicle. If you cannot locate them, please consult your vehicle owner's manual for model-specific information, contact your local dealership, or ask a professional for assistance.
   2. Once you have located the lights, and then locate the positive wire leading to the reverse light as well as the red trigger wire on the rear camera extension cable.
   3. To connect the trigger wire to the positive wire from the reverse light you will need to strip a small section of the insulation from the reverse light wire, but you do not need.
      
   4. To disconnect the wire in order to do so. Simply strip a small section from the middle of the wire as shown above in a convenient location.
   5. Connect the red trigger wire to the positive wire of the reverse light by wrapping the two wires firmly together. Use electrical tape (Not provided) to wrap the connection and any exposed metal from the wires. This will help in two ways: first by keeping the wires from becoming disconnected, as well as preventing the bare wires from contacting a metal surface and shorting out. As such, make sure to thoroughly wrap the connection taking care not to leave any unexposed metal.
6. Route the rear camera extension cable to the front of the vehicle and connect it to the main camera unit
   Use the pry tool to open a channel for wiring along the edge of the ceiling panel as shown in the picture below. Route the rear camera extension cable through the channel you have made and connect it to the front camera. Once all wiring has been completed close the opening you have made by reclipping the ceiling panels back into place.
   
7. Start your car and turn on the dash cam
   Test the device to make sure every part works well.
