Rear Camera Wiring Instructions
- Dash camera
- Connected to reversing light
- Outside the car bracket
- Inside the car bracket
Note:
The rear camera has two wire routing options, both of which conceal the wire
along the edges of the door.
-
Connect the rear camera cable to the mirror
Plug the rear camera cable into the AV interface of the unit. -
Rear camera cable routing
- Route the rear camera cable to the rear of the car, leaving some slack. Insert the cable into the gap in the front windshield and along the upper end of the door using the included tool.
- If you choose to install the rear camera inside your car, fix it on the rear windshield after routing the wiring.
-
Remove the panel
Open the trunk and remove the interior panel that covers the other side of the license plate mount area. Use a trim removal tool or other thin device to pry the panel open. -
Fix the rear camera and connect the cables
Fix the rear camera near the license plate light with 3M glue, and connect the rear camera cable through the license plate light hole to the rear camera cable. -
Connect the red wire to the reverse light’s positive terminal
Find the positive terminal of the reverse light. This is the terminal that has voltage when the car is in reverse gear. To find it, step on the brakes, put the car in reverse gear and measure the voltage at each terminal. The terminal with voltage is the positive terminal. Strip the positive cable and wrap it with the red cable from the camera. Insulate the connection with electrical tape. Test the connection by putting the car in reverse gear and seeing if the dash cam enters reverse mode.
GPS Installation
Position 1:
Install the dash cam in the right corner of the central console and hide the
wiring along the edge of the front windshield using double-sided tape.
- Considering the use effect and installation convenience, we usually recommend customers install it at position 1.
- You may also test different locations for the dash cam to find the one that works best for you. Just make sure that the black side is facing up to receive the GPS signal.
- Once the GPS is installed, the GPS icon on the home screen will appear. After the GPS signal has been received, the device’s GPS will show direction and speed.
