PLEASE NOTE
Power of the additional rear view camera should be taken from the ACC line
(first key turn), otherwise the camera input will not be active. Depending on
the type of camera (more specifically, on the voltage required for work) +6 V
output voltage of the monitor may be used. If the camera requires more than +6
V it should be connected to the ACC line.
PLEASE NOTE
In some cases the head unit may not have a REVERSE wire. If that’s the case,
you need to extend the wire from the +12 V tailgate lamp as the cable will not
work otherwise.
