Installation Instructions (Kit # 9002-7601)
| Green Wire Connected | Green Wire Cut | White Wire Connected | White Wire Cut |
|---|---|---|---|
| No Park Lines | Park Lines | Front Camera | Rear Camera |
Step 1: Select and Install Camera Bracket
Determine which of the two supplied camera mounting methods you prefer.
Alternate Camera Mount Bracket
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 a 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
multimeter or computer-safe test light, locate which side of the vehicle
contains reverse and Ground wires (Chart A).

Chart A
ire .lor| Polarity| Function| Description|
Location
---|---|---|---|---
Red| 12v +| Reverse| This lead will display 12 volts + when the vehicle is in
reverse| Commonly found in either passenger or drivers kick panel
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 chassis 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 seat
belt bolts at the bottom of the pillars must be removed (CAUTION: Any
bolts removed for safety devices must be reinstalled and tightened 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 red wire reverse wire and black to
clean chassis ground.
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.
Note: Connection to female RCA connector shown.
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 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.

plate securing bracket behind.
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 below to locate an Alternate Camera mount on the vehicle: Clean the
vehicle surface and affix by exposing
self-adhesive foam. RECOMMENDED: Permanent attachment using small screws.
2: Measure, mark, and drill a ¼” hole for the camera harness.
3: Determine the location of vehicle power and ground. Using a vehicle-
specific service guide and/or wiring diagram and a multimeter or computer-safe
test
light, locate which side of the vehicle contains wires into which you will
need to tap for the Power Harness wiring (see Required Connections above).
