Step 1: Select and Install Camera Bracket Determine which of the two supplied camera mounting methods you prefer.
Place the camera in the desired position to confirm fitment
(Note: Some states prohibit items blocking the license plate; check local
authorities to confirm the legal status of your application).
If using License Plate Bracket, remove the license plate. Reattach license
plate securing bracket behind.
If using an Alternate Camera Mount Bracket, remove the camera from License
Plate Bracket using supplied Allen wrench. Attach the camera to the Alternate
Camera Mount bracket and apply supplied self-adhesive foam to the mount.
Use the Template included in the Installation Instruction Overview to position
the Alternate Camera Mount on the vehicle Clean the vehicle surface to which
the mount is to be attached and affix with self-adhesive foam.
RECOMMENDED: Permanent attachment using screws.
Step 2: Measure, mark, and drill ¼” hole for the camera harness.
NOTE: If your vehicle has a liftgate panel/trunk trim cover, it must be
removed.
Step 3: Determine the location of vehicle power and ground. Using a vehicle-specific service guide and/or specific wiring diagram and a multi- meter or computer safe test light, locate which side of the vehicle contains Ignition and Ground wires (Chart A).
Wire Color | Polarity | Function | Description | Location |
---|---|---|---|---|
Red | 12v + | Ignition controlled power | This lead will display 12 volts + when | |
the key is in the RUN position | Commonly found on the main Ignition harness. | |||
Black | (-) | Ground | Chassis ground | A ground bolt is commonly found in the |
front kick panel area with other wires attached.
CAUTION: Once correct wires have been identified, turn the Ignition key OFF and DO NOT TURN the key back ON until the installation has been completed (Step 13).
Step 4: Splice the red and black Power Harness leads into the corresponding vehicle wires (Recommended: Soldering or T-taps as optional connection method). Also recommended is an eyelet for the ground connection.
Step 5: Insert the connector end of the Camera Harness through the hole
you drilled.
(RECOMMENDED: Protect the Camera Harness from sharp metal edges by applying a
small amount of silicone caulk or a rubber grommet to the area that comes into
contact with the metal).
Step 6: Route Camera Harness. Continue routing harness to the side of the
vehicle that supplies power and then forward.
Step 7: Connect Camera Harness to supplied Chassis Harness. The optimal location for this junction may occur at the top of the liftgate or the inner edge of the trunk depending on the vehicle in which installation is in (Note: most vehicles may already have existing wires passing through this area; use this route if at all possible).
Step 8: Route Chassis Harness. It may be necessary to remove sill plates, pillar covers, seat bottoms, side panels, etc. In some cases, even the seatbelt bolts at the bottom of the pillars must be removed (CAUTION: Any bolts removed for safety devices must be retightened to the manufacturer’s specified torque specifications). Use a plastic trim removal tool to avoid damage to trim pieces.
Step 9: Secure Camera Harness to existing vehicle wiring. This will
minimize the chance of binding or otherwise damaging the harness (Recommended:
Wire Ties or Electrical Tape.)
Step 10: Connect Chassis Harness to supplied Power Harness.
Step 11: Install aftermarket display/ Navigation display as per
instructions (if required).
Step 12: Connect the male RCA from the Power Harness to the “Camera IN”
on the aftermarket display/ Navigation display.
Step 13: Test the system. Inspect that all connections are proper and
secure. Clear all loose items removed from the area around the vehicle and
turn the ignition key ON to test the system.
Step 14: Adjust Camera angle (if necessary). Loosen camera screw using
supplied Allen wrench to aim the camera. Tighten the screw at desired
adjustment.
Step 15: Reassemble the vehicle. Follow your disassembly steps in reverse order, taking care not to bind the harness wiring when reinstalling.
NOTE: This camera has grid lines or non-grid lines and mirror image or
nonmirror image options.
Grid line options : The default setting is to display grid lines. To
remove the grid line display, connect the two green wires near the end of the
camera harness.
Display options: The default setting is a mirror image display for the
rearward facing camera (rear view) installation. To change to a nonmirror
image for the forward-facing camera (front view) connect the two white wires
near the end of the camera harness.
