CAMERA INSTALLATION
Tire removal and camera Installation
-
Remove the spare tire, then run the wire for the camera through the bracket. But DO NOT pop in the camera until installed and visually verified working. Run the wire through the spare tire mount and through the grommet following the factory brake light wiring. (Figures A & B)

Once the camera wire is secure and zip tied to the factory wiring, re-install the panel back to the tailgate.
-
Route the camera wiring through the vehicle and onto the radio cavity.

Connect the power wire from the camera harness to the RED wire on the AX-ADDCAM interface harness abeled “Camera 12V”
NOTE: Make sure when configuring the interface, the “Switched 12V with” option is set to “Camera active”. This will activate that wire when the vehicle is in reverse. (Figure K) -
Connect the BLACK wire from the camera harness to chassis ground. (Figure K)
-
Connect the YELLOW RCA from the camera harness to Yellow RCA labeled “Camera 1” from the AXADDCAM harness.
-
Unplug the radio harnesses, then install the Tharness. Some models-depending on features-may not have a White 22-pin connector. The White 22- pin connector from the T-harness still needs connected to the radio though. (Figure’s L & M)
-
Connect the female Yellow RCA from the T-harness labeled “Camera Input” to the male Yellow RCA from the AX-ADDCAM harness labeled” Camera Output”. If any additional cameras are being installed such as a side view or front camera, connect them to the Yellow female RCA jack.

-
Click “Write to Configuration”, then plug the interface into the T-harness.
-
These vehicles, since not equipped with a factory backup camera, will require two 5-minutes key cycles for the radio to accept the AX-ADDCAM interface. Programming will be complete after the second 5-minutes key cycle.
