Connecting the Camera:
CAMERA POWER CONNECTION
The camera is powered by plugging the camera connector into the vehicle's towing plug.
The camera has a 4 position connector which will attach directly to many vehicles and
has a pass-though design that will allow it to be plugged between the vehicle and trailer.
Some vehicles may need a 7 position to 4 position adapter (figure 5) which is not included.
NOTE: A commonly available 4 position tow wire extension (not included) will allow the
camera to be mounted farther away from the vehicle plug for gooseneck or fifth wheel
trailer hitching up applications.
Notice: Depending on the make/model of the vehicle the running lights or headlights
may need to be turned on to power up the vehicle's tow plug.
