USING THE POWER DOWN CIRCUIT
The power down circuit is designed to extend the life of the camera.
Note: The green wire is only used to power on the camera and module.
1. Tap the GREEN wire to two red wires, one coming from the camera
and one coming from the module.
(This will provide the camera with a safe guard)
2. Locate the reverse light trigger wire in the vehicle and connect it
to the RED wire. (This will trigger the 12v input)
3. Connect the YELLOW to any available constant source in the car.
4. Connect the BLACK wire to any ground source in the car.
INSTALLING THE CAMERA AND CABLE
1. Remove the rear panel.
2. Drill a 5/8 size hole in the location
3. Fish the wires through the drilled hole and through the pass through
into the trunk/cargo area.
4. Remove the factory radio to gain access to the factory connectors.
5. Route the wires towards the radio and make the power and video
connections. For powering up the camera, use the 12v output from
the power down circuit to avoid harm to the camera.
6. Make sure both ground wires have contact with chassis ground.
USING THE OBD-73
In order for the vehicle’s system to recognize the camera and engage it
when in reverse, the vehicle’s system must be coded.
Reading the LED’s color and pattern:
Flashing LED Coding Vehicle
Solid Green LED Activated
Solid Red LED Deactivated
Solid Red & Green LED Error
HOW TO ACTIVATE:
1. Enter the vehicle and close “All the doors” to the vehicle.
2. Turn the key to the “ON” position.
3. Plug the OBD coder to the vehicle, wait for the OBD to code the
car and give you a solid LED status. (See chart above)
4. The radio may ash a few times during this process.
(ETA to code vehicle: 5 seconds) If error: Retry steps.
5. After coding is complete, disconnect OBD from vehicle and store
in a safe place. This OBD is VIN specic, your vehicle’s VIN will
stored in its memory. Will not work for any other vehicles.
Remember:
Disconnect OBD
from vehicle but
keep it stored in
the vehicle.
Testing:
1. Close all doors, turn vehicle to the “ON” position.
2. Engage the reverse gear.
3. Verify the screen switches to rear camera.
4. Done

Tech Tip: If asked for a “CODE” on the radio
display after you have connected the inter-
face and powered ON the car, DO NOT enter
a code, simply wait 10 Seconds then turn
OFF the vehicle. Normal operation should
resume after.
