Installing the Mirror
Step 1
Mount the mirror to the existing rearview mirror in your vehicle using the
rubber straps provided. Please ensure that the mirror is mounted tightly and
cannot come loose.
Step 2
Route the wiring from the back of the mirror into the vehicle headlining
and run it towards the passenger side of the vehicle.
Step 3
Continue running while the harness is down the A-pillar of the vehicle while
taking care not to obstruct or impede any vehicle airbags. The wiring harness
should always be routed behind the airbag rather than in front of it.
Step 4
Once the harness is routed into the kick panel you will either need to use the
cigarette lighter adaptor and route this up to the 12V socket or
alternatively, you can use the hardwire adaptor and connect this to a suitable
ignition live and earth.
PLEASE NOTE
If your cigarette lighter is powered permanently and does not turn off when the ignition is turned off then you will need to use the hard wire adaptor and find a suitable 12V wire that is only live when the vehicle ignition is turned on and the engine is running. Should you not want to use the hard wire kit then you will need to remember to unplug the cigarette lighter adaptor each time the vehicle is turned off. Failure to do this could result in your vehicle draining the battery.
Installing the Camera & Bracket
Step 1
Remove the vehicle license plate.
If the existing plate is stuck onto the vehicle you will need to remove the
existing sticky tape to allow for proper adhesion when the new tape is used.
Step 1
up the supplied license plate bracket so that it is centered on the
vehicle.
PLEASE NOTE
The camera can be fitted either way up on the license plate or the stick above
the license plate (like other universal backup cameras)
Step 3
Align the bracket so that 2 of the holes on the bracket line up with the
existing holes on the vehicle. If this is not possible then you will need to
drill new mounting holes for the bracket with a suitable drill bit.
CAUTION
Before drilling ensure that there are no obstructions (wiring, motors, etc)
behind the panel.
Step 4
If new mounting holes are required and the mounting area is metal then be sure
to protect them with a suitable brush or spray-on rust inhibitor or paint.
Step 5
Once the bracket is aligned and the mounting holes are drilled (if necessary),
loosely mount the bracket on the vehicle.
Step 6
PLEASE NOTE: The 2 holes in two sides of the bracket. These are the same
length as the License for clicking on the bracket. Choose whichever hole is
suitable and ensure there is enough space behind the panel for the cable to
enter.
Step 7
Drill a pilot hole for the cable entry with a 2.5mm drill bit and remove the
bracket.
Step 8
Enlarge the hole to 10mm and again protect the hole with a suitable brush or
spray on rust inhibitor or paint. Install the grommet provided in the kit.
Step 9
Next, run the cable through into the area behind the license plate and then
mount the bracket tightly.
Step 10
If mounted to a rear bumper you will need to find a suitable grommet on the
car to run the cable up to the reverse light where the connections will be
made. This can often be found on the boot floor of the car. If your license
plate is tailgate mounted then you will need to route the cable through the
existing grommet which carries the current wiring from the tailgate to the
boot.
Step 11
In some vehicles, you can access the reverse wire at the front of the vehicle
(see wiring diagram on page 9). It is the wire that switches 12v+ when the
reverse gear is engaged.
PLEASE NOTE
Please ensure when routing the cabling that it is secured where necessary with
the included cable ties.
Once the cable is routed to the rear light you will need to make the following
wiring connections for the camera.
Connect the RED WIRE from the Camera to the REVERSE LIGHT This wire will show
12V+ on a multimeter only when the vehicle is in reverse. Connect this wire
with the supplied blue butt connector.
Connect the BLACK WIRE from the Camera to the VEHICLE CHASSIS GROUND OR
EXISTING GROUND POINT Connect using the supplied ring terminals. Connect the
L.. LLOW VIDEO RCA CONNECTOR to the corresponding YELLOW VIDEO RCA CONNECTCr’-
on the Mirror Monitor Harness.
This should be run down the passenger side of the vehicle to connect up to the
mirror harness previously installed.
Please note:
Many modern vehicles will have a bulb warning system that can cause this
camera system to function incorrectly. If this is the case you will need a
12volt changeover relay
You will need to configure the wiring as per the drawing (opposite) to prevent any false warning or poor operation of this system.
In some vehicles, you will not be able to find a 12V switched reverse wire. In this case, you will need to use a CAN-bus adaptor (available separately) to generate a reverse trigger for the camera.
Step 12
Refit the license plate either using the existing screw holes or with the 3M
tape supplied.

Camera & Mirror Monitor User Guide
If installed correctly, the Mirror Monitor will display a GREEN light (next to
the button) when it is powered up. When reverse gear is engaged the Mirror
Monitor will automatically turn on and an image will be displayed on the
screen. When the reverse gear is disengaged or the ignition turned off the
monitor will automatically switch off.
The mirror has an Auto-Dimming feature. It will dim the camera image when the
ambient light levels are low. When the ambient light increases the display
will brighten. If you want to turn the monitor OFF press and hold the button
for 3 seconds. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to turn the monitor
back ON.
PLEASE NOTE
The mirror glass will NOT dim when headlights are present in the rearview mirror.
If you have the Camera Kit with the Dynamic Parking Lines feature
they will be displayed on the screen whenever reverse gear is selected.
These parking lines serve as a guide to the trajectory of the vehicle when
moving.
The lines will also move dynamically as the vehicle changes direction.
We recommend adjusting the camera so that the red parking line is level with
the rear bumper of the vehicle.
The parking lines are shown in 3 colors: GREEN , YELLOW & RED.
We recommend stopping the vehicle when the red parking line touches an obstacle at the rear of the vehicle. If the camera is adjusted correctly, the vehicle will be approx 12-18″ away from the obstruction.
