Guidelines

• Install D-450 camera on windshield with clear, unobstructed view through the windshield and with a clear view of center of the road within the windshield wiper zone.
• Mount according to applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
• Connect ignition wire only to ignition source and not accessory source.

Installation Steps

Using INSTALLER APP is recommended for proper installation and functioning of the device.

1. Select mounting location. Consider the following points in order of importance:
   • Driver vision and no obstructions for inward and outward camera.
   • Place within the windshield wiper swipe zone.
   • Place as close to vehicle centerline as possible while considering points A and B.
2. Once location is determined, use the ≥91% Rubbing/Denatured Alcohol to clean the area. Wipe away residue with dry, clean, lint free cloth. Under cold/humid climate conditions, you may need to defrost the windshield or heat the mounting area with a heatgun/mini torch to reach approximately 72oF for good VHB adhesion and eliminate excess moisture. Wipe with clean cloth again. Caution: Use extreme caution while heating the windshield area and not leave the heat source at one location for extended period of time.
3. Remove the protective cover on the 3M VHB tape. Attach to windshield after making sure device is lined up and in level with the road and side-to-side. Remove device from bracket and apply pressure to the bracket for good VHB adhesion and ensure that there are no large air bubbles on the VHB tape.
4. Apply Loctite® 425 to the mounting screws, and re-mount device only after verifying with the views of the camera with the Installer app.
5. Route and connect power cable to the vehicle specific adapter cable OR manually connect the Power, Ground, Ignition, and CAN wires per the steps in the Wire Routing and Connections section. Route and place the Wireless/GPS Module on the front corner of the dash near the windshield so it has a clear view of the sky. Be sure that skyward arrow is pointing upwards.
   Installer app: Use the installer app for system verification, pair Driveri to vehicle, and stream camera views. Adjust the camera to ensure that the outward view only captures very little of the vehicle hood and the inward camera sees the driver’s head and left shoulder.

Wire Routing & Connections

Generally, route all cables towards power connections.

• Route power cable and Wireless/GPS Module through the headliner (using the included Split-Loom to help secure and protect cabling) and down the A-pillar.
• Attach Wireless/GPS Module to the front corner of dash towards the windshield making sure the “SKYWARD” arrow is pointing up. (Make sure surface has been cleaned with alcohol wipe prior to sticking it to the dash).
• Continue routing power cable towards preferred electrical connection area. Store excess cabling inside the dash, securing with zip ties to existing wires/cables. It is highly recommended that you use a truck specific adapter cable that plugs directly into the white 6-Pin Molex connector on the Power Cable (Refer to ‘Adapter Cable Guide’).
• If you prefer to do a self-install/manual connection without the adapter cable, cut the white Molex connector off and make the following connections:
  • Connect BLACK ‘GND’ to an existing truck ground wire, ground terminal post or chassis. (If using a chassis, ground with self-drilling screw and ring terminal, use an Emory cloth or sandpaper to remove paint and expose bare metal).
  • Connect RED “BAT” wire to 12v Battery constant using an inline 5amp fuse.
  • Connect WHITE ‘IGN’ wire to 12v switched ignition power only, using an inline 2amp fuse. (There should be no power on this connection when key is in the OFF, or Accessory Position). Ignition Wire not needed if using
  • Wake on Motion (WoM) enabled.
  • Connect the YELLOW ‘CAN_HIGH’ wire to the Yellow CAN_HIGH wire of the vehicles data bus.
  • Connect the GREEN ‘CAN_LOW’ wire to the Green CAN_LOW wire of the vehicles data bus
  • It is recommended that you make these connections near/at the back of the diagnostic port.
  • Secure all wires and cables with the provided cable zip ties.
