Installation Options
- Install the KCX802 in the license plate illumination lights’ panel. Take off the panel and drill a hole of 8 mm.
Put the vable and the thread though the hole and fasten the camera with its ring and screw nut. Attention: Fasten the nut very carfully to avoid that the threaded bolt can break!
Route the cable and connect it as described on the next page. Then mount the bracket again. With variant 2, depending on the installation location (front or rear), two cable loops may have to be cut. Otherwise the picture will be displayed incorrectly. Please check this setting with the help of a monitor before final assembly.
Connection
| 1 | Black | (-) Ground |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Red | (+) 12V Ignition (terminal 15) |
| 3 | Yellow cinch plug | Video output for connection to a monitor |
| 4 | Yellow cinch socket | Video input for connecting a front camera. |
| 5 | Blue | (+) Input for reversing light |
| 6 | Orange | (+) 12V switching output for switching on the monitor/ interlace (5 |
sec. Switch-off delay) or a front camera (10 sec. Switch-off
delay). Warning! If the cableis not required, thecable must be insulated and must not come to Ground.
7| White Loop| Image display (rotated 0/180 °). Cut through the cable loop for
installation according to variant 2.
8| Green Loop| Guidelines (on/off). Cut the cableloop if you want to have
displayed no guides.
9| Blue Loop| Image reproduction (mirrored/ normal). Cut the cable loop, if
you want to mirrored the image reproduction for front mounting.
10| Purple Loop| Guide line size (wide/ narrow). Cut the cable loop if you

Connection with the front camera
The functionality of the switching electronics
After the 12V reversing signal is no longer present on the blue cable, the video output is switched to the input for a front camera for 10 seconds. During this time, the orange cable has 12V. After these 10 seconds, the system switches off. The delay of 10 seconds only works if the circuit at the input of the front camera detects a video signal. If the circuit at the input of the front camera does not detect a video signal, only a delay of 5 seconds will work.
