The Clip-on mirror design securely mounts on the existing rearview mirror in the vehicle by expanding the clamping arms at the back. The video signal is transferred from the camera to the Mirror Display via an RCA cable that will need to be run through the boot, through the passenger compartment to the mirror displays wired loom run under the dash. From there the power and video signals are sent directly to the display. At the rear of the car, the camera is powered directly from the reversing tail light. Priority is the AV2 input.
INSTALLING THE CAMERA
In most instances, the camera is best mounted above the vehicle’s license plate as shown here.
-
Connect the RED wire of the Cameras Power Harness to the wire that supplies power to the reversing light globe (the wire that is energized only when the car is put into reverse). Before making the electrical connection, temporarily disconnect the camera from the power plug whilst making the connection to the reversing light globe. Use a suitable splicing/crimp connector (scotch lock type) or strip connector. This connection can also be soldered, making sure to insulate the joint with electrical insulation when done. The camera has only one wire to connect (positive (+). There is no need to hook up a ground earth wire as the camera gets its earth through the RCA cable. Hooking up the ground earth may cause a ground loop. In this case, horizontal lines will appear in the image.
NOTE: CAN-BUS: In the event that the car reversing lights are driven by CAN-BUS, the above wiring system may not trigger the system correctly. It may even create a globe fault warning. In this case, a CAN-BUS module (sold separately) may need to be installed. However, just because the vehicle has a CAN-BUS system does not necessarily mean that it will require such a module to work. In fact, the opposite is true. Most vehicles do not require an additional module. If a CAN-BUS module is required we recommend seeking advice from a professional installer. -
After you have insulated the join you can connect the power harness to the camera.
NOTE : Some cars that run LED or computer-controlled lighting systems may not deliver enough voltage to run the camera. If the voltage at the reversing wire light is less than +12 volts it may be necessary to use a relay to supply power to the transmitter harness from the wiring in the front of the car. In this case, the reversing light only needs to trigger the relay. Make sure that you do not drill holes in the panels that have an opposite face that is visible outside the car for example guard panels. In fact, whenever drilling holes in the bodywork of a vehicle, always see what is on the other side. -
Connect one end of the supplied RCA cable to the RCA socket from the camera, then run the RCA cable to the front underside of the driver-side dash board. This is where the display’s loom will be located. To do this you will need to remove the rear seat to pass the cable into the cabin area and you will need to remove the door scuff plates to run the wire along the side of the vehicle. The RCA cable will be hidden when you replace the scuff plates. When the cable is at the front of the vehicle the RCA cable needs to be run from the scuff plate area to the underside of the dash behind the kick trim (remove and run cable).
INSTALLATION OF THE MIRROR DISPLAY
- The display has two power wires to be connected. Connect the red wire (accessories +12V) to a wire that is energized when the vehicle’s accessories is turned on. Connect the black wire to a ground earth wire or to the body of the car using the steel of the body of the car behind the kick trim as earth. In this case, drill a small hole and connect the wire using a suitable ring terminal. Scrape off the car’s paint around the hole to ensure good earth.
- Connect the RCA cable to the RCA socket from the displays loom.

- Engage the parking brake and turn the ignition key to the on position. DO NOT start the vehicle.
