Installing the monitor
-
Tear off the red sticker from the base of the display and stick it on the dashboard. Press the base against the mounting surface for 15 seconds to ensure it sticks firmly.
• The location of the monitor cannot block the driver’s sight.
• Please clean and dry the area of the dashboard where you want to mount your monitor.
• The angle of the display can be adjusted by moving the display from left to right, up to down.
• Do not remove the base after it is glued, because the adhesive tape will lose its stickiness.
• If you need to remove the display, you can separate the base from the display by unscrewing the rotary knob on the back of the display. -
Connect the monitor cable with the car charger cable. Plug the car charger into 12V/24V cigarette lighter port in your car.

• If the cigarette lighter of your car supplies constant power (it has power after turning off the engine), in order to prevent the car battery from draining, please unplug the car charger before leaving the car.
Installing the backup camera
Note: This product supports two cameras, but the
package comes with one camera only. if you want a second camera, please
purchase the specified camera separately.
-
Confirm the installation location of the backup camera is flexible, depending on the vehicle model. It can be installed on the rear bumper of the vehicle or the roof of the vehicle etc. (As shown on the right)
Note. When confirming the installation location of the camera, please also
check the signal reception and camera’s angle of view, and evaluate whether
the power cable is long enough. If it is not, you can extend the power cable
by yourself. -
Connect the power cable
a. Open the inner plastic panel and remove it from the hatch or tailgate. (The panels are usually attached to the tailgate by clips. This may take a bit longer time to avoid clip damages. Once this panel is removed, the work will be done easily)
b. Find the power wire (positive) of the reversing light and connect it to the red wire of the power cable. Then connect the black wire of the
power cable to the ground. (Iron part of the vehicle)
-
Install the backup camera
a. Find an opening or drill a hole with the hole saw to thread the camera cable into the interior of the vehicle.
b. Then remove the bracket from the camera. The screws need to be kept in a safe place to avoid losing them.
c. Use the electric drill or other professional equipment to install the camera bracket on the vehicle with self-tapping screws.
d. Thread the camera cable into the threaded hole and plug in the waterproof plug.
e. Fix the camera with the screws.

How to find the reverse light (Positive)?
a. Please switch the key to ACC position, then shift your car into R-gear.
b. Prepare a test pencil, connect its clip or clamp to a known ground source,
then use the pointed end to pierce the plastic insulation on a wire. If the
bulb lights up, it means the wire may be the potential reversing light’s
positive power source.
c. Please shift your car into another gear, then use a test light to test all
the wires which used to light up the bulb again, if there is one wire that
doesn’t light up the bulb, it’s the reversing light’s positive power source.
