CAR AND DRIVER DU2000S Hardwire Backup Camera Kit
Overview
In order to avoid damage to the rear camera, please do not install it by
yourself.
See a mechanic or other professional for installation. Before installation,
please read carefully instructions below.
Mounting and routing
-
Connect the L-shaped end of rear camera power cable to the AV IN jack of your INTELLIDASH+/Pro.
-
Route the rear camera’s power cable around the ceiling of your car, or in a gap between the windshield and the interior, etc. Make sure it is placed in a way that does not interfere with driving (See the Fig below). Included cable clips can be used to secure the cables out of harms way. Remove the film from the adhesive side to stick the cable clips to the dashboard, and place the cable into the clip. Press it to fix it in place.
Notes: You may choose to tuck the cable between the paneling of your windshield and/or your A/B/C-pillar space if available.
Make sure that the cable routing does not interfere with your car’s airbags or other safety features. -
Use provided adhesive tape or screws to mount the rear camera at whichever angle you want to see: (Spot 1: on the rear windshield or Spot 2: above the license plate). See below Fig
-
Connect the reversing light signal wire to the positive charge of the reverse light.
Note: For a negative trigger system, a relay (below) should be added between the signal wire and the positive wire of reversing light to avoid damage to the rear camera.
Please confirm that it is a positive trigger before installing the reverse
signal wire!!
If it is not, add a relay between the signal wire and the positive of the
reverse light to avoid damaging the rear camera.
(The positive and negative poles of the reverse light – triggered by the
negative electrode – are positively charged to the car body before it is
activated)
Please follow the figure below to install a relay for the negative trigger
system.
