Installing the Mirror
Step 1
Mount the mirror to the existing rear view
mirror in your vehicle using the rubber
straps provided. Please ensure that the
mirror is mounted tightly and cannot come
loose.
Step 2
Route the wiring from the back of the mirror
into the vehicle headlining and run it
towards the passenger side of the vehicle.
Step 3
Continue running while the harness down
the A-pillar of the vehicle while taking care
not to obstruct or impede any vehicle
airbags. The wiring harness should always
be routed behind the airbag rather than in
front of it.
PLEASE NOTE
If your cigarette lighter is powered permanently and does not turn off when the
ignition is turned off then you will need to use the hard wire adaptor and find a
suitable 12V wire that is only live when the vehicle ignition is turned on and engine
is running. Should you not want to use the hard wire kit then you will need to
remember to unplug the cigarette lighter adaptor each time
the vehicle is turned off. Failure to do this could result in your vehicle draining the
battery .
Step 4
Once the harness is routed into the kick panel you will either need to
use the cigarette lighter adaptor and route this up to the 12V socket, or
alternatively, you can use the hardwire adaptor and connect this to a
suitable ignition live and earth.

Installing the Camera & Bracket
Step 1
Remove the vehicle license plate.
If the existing plate is stuck onto the vehicle you will need to remove
the existing sticky tape to allow for proper adhesion when the new tape
is used.
Step 2
Line up the supplied license plate bracket so that it is centered on the
vehicle.
Step 3
Align the bracket so that 2 of the holes on the bracket line up with the
existing holes on the vehicle. If this is not possible then you will need to
drill new mounting holes for the bracket with a suitable drill bit.
PLEASE NOTE
The camera can be fitted either way up on the license plate or the
stick on above the license plate (like other universal back up camera)
CAUTION
Before drilling ensure that there are no obstructions (wiring, motors etc)
behind the panel.
VTC1743M
Step 4
If new mounting holes are required and the mounting area is metal then be
sure to protect them with a suitable brush or spray-on rust inhibitor or paint.

Installing the Camera & Bracket
Step 5
Once the bracket is aligned and the
mounting holes are drilled (if necessary),
loosely mount the bracket on the vehicle.
Step 6
PLEASE NOTE:
The 2holes in two side of the bracket.
These are with the same length of the License for click on the bracket .
Choose whichever hole is suitable and ensure there is enough space
behind the panel for the cable to enter.
Step 7
Drill a pilot hole for the cable entry with a 2.5mm drill bit and remove
the bracket.
Step 8
Enlarge the hole to 10mm and
again protect the hole with a
suitable brush or spray on rust
inhibitor or paint. Install the
grommet provided in the kit.

Step 9
Next, run the cable through into the
area behind the license plate and
then mount the bracket tightly.
Step 10
If mounted to a rear bumper you
will need to find a suitable grommet
on the car to run the cable up to the
reverse light where the connections
will be made. This can often be
found in the boot floor of the car. If
your license plate is tailgate
mounted then you will need to
route
the cable through the existing
grommet which carries the current
wiring from the tailgate to the boot.
Step 11
In some vehicles you can access the
reverse wire at the front of the vehicle
(see wiring diagram on page 9).
It is the wire that switches 12v+ when
reverse gear is engaged.
PLEASE NOTE
Please ensure when routing the cabling that it is secured where necessary
with the included cable ties.

Installing the Camera & Bracket
Once the cable is routed to the rear light you will need to make the
following wiring connections for the camera.
This wire will show 12V+ on a multimeter only when the vehicle is in reverse. Connect
this wire with the supplied blue butt connector.
Connect the BLACK WIRE from the Camera to the VEHICLE CHASSIS
GOUND OR EXISTING GOUND POINT
Connect using the supplied ring terminals.
Connect the YELLOW VIDEO RCA CONNECTOR to the corresponding
YELLOW VIDEO RCA CONNECTOR on the Mirror Monitor Harness.
This should be run down the passenger side of the vehicle to connect up to the
mirror harness previously installed.
Please note:
Many modern vehicles will have a
bulb warning system that can cause
this camera system to function
incorrectly. If this is the case you
will need a 12volt changeover relay
You will need to configure the
wiring as per the drawing
(opposite) to prevent any false
warning or poor operation of this
system.
In some vehicles you will not be
able to find a 12V switched reverse
wire. In this case, you will need to
use a CAN-bus adaptor (available
separately) to generate a reverse
trigger for the camera.
Step 12
Refit the license plate either using
the existing screw holes or with the
3M tape supplied.

Camera & Mirror Monitor
User Guide
If installed correctly, the Mirror Monitor will display a GREEN light (next
to the button) when it is powered up.
When reverse gear is engaged the Mirror Monitor will automatically turn
on and an image will be displayed on the screen. When reverse
gear is disengaged or ignition turned off the monitor will automatically
switch off.
The mirror have the Auto-Dimming feature . It will dim the camera image
when the ambient light levels are low. When the ambient light increases
the display will
brighten. If you want to turn the monitor OFF press and hold the button
for 3
seconds. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to turn the monitor
back ON.
PLEASE NOTE
The mirror glass will NOT dim when headlights are present in the rear
view mirror.
If you have the Camera Kit with the Dynamic Parking Lines feature
they will be displayed on the screen whenever reverse gear is selected.
These parking lines serve as a guide to the vehicles trajectory when
moving.
The lines will also move dynamically as the vehicle changes direction.
We recommend adjusting the camera so that the red parking line is
level with the rear bumper of the vehicle.
The parking lines are shown in 3 colour: GREEN, YELLOW & RED.
We recommend stopping the vehicle when the red parking line
touches an obstacle at the rear of the vehicle. If the camera is
adjusted correctly, the vehicle will be approx 12-18” away from the
obstruction.
