Cautions and Notes
Please read and follow the instructions and precautions in this installation guide when installing DVM-
LiVE product.
•For assistance, a qualified installation technician or mechanic should be consulted.
•Do not use excessive force when removing the mirror from the windshield. The mirror mounting
plate may become separated from the windshield and/or the windshield may break if excessive
force is used. If you are unfamiliar with rearview mirror removal seek professional assistance.
•Do not route wiring and cabling over sharp metal edges where they may become damaged or
cut.
•To prevent electrical shorts or breakage in the wiring and cabling, do not allow wiring and
cabling to be pinched behind trim pieces, panels, or other physical objects.
•Do not run wires or cables in areas where they may become damaged by heat from the engine
or the exhaust system.
•Do not install any DVM components or wiring in the deployment path of the air bag(s).
•When installing the cables or making wire connections, it is recommended you leave a little
‘slack’ in the cable connections to allow for service loops and for movement of the mirror so the
connections do not get pulled or accidentally disconnected.
•Where possible, avoid running cables parallel to other wiring and/or antenna coax that may be
installed in the vehicle.
•Where possible, do not leave excessive cable above the headliner. We recommend at least 2
feet of distance between our cabling and that of other systems which may carry a signal for
transmit and/or receive

Section - 3: Installation Instructions
The current factory rearview mirror must be removed from the windshield mounting plate. There are
several versions of mirror mounting systems. Below are the most common methods of rearview mirror
removal. If you are unfamiliar with rearview mirror removal, seek professional assistance.
Be very careful and do not use excessive force when removing the mirror from the
windshield. The mirror mounting plate may become separated from the windshield
and/or the windshield may break if excessive force is used.
Use one of the following methods that match the mirror mounting configuration of your vehicle:
Screw Mount Rearview Mirror Removal
1. Using a Philips screwdriver or #20 Torx bit, loosen the screw in the base of the mirror.
2. After loosening the screw, gently lift upward to slide mirror off of mirror mount.
Wedge (screw-less) Mount Rearview Mirror Removal
1. Using a small 1/8" (4 mm) flat-blade screwdriver, insert the flat end into the opening at the
bottom of the mirror mount next to the windshield.
2. Slide the screwdriver into the center of the mirror mount until resistance is felt.
3. Gently apply a small amount of additional upward force to lift away the locking spring inside the
mount.
4. While still applying upward pressure with the screwdriver, grasp the mirror bracket and wiggle
side to side. Lift the mirror up toward the headliner and off the windshield mount button.
Cam Lock Rearview Mirror Removal
1. With your right hand, grip the mirror and keep it stabilized.
2. With your left hand, grip the base of the factory mount where it meets the glass.
3. Apply a small amount of inward pressure toward the glass and rotate the base clockwise.
4. The spring loaded factory mount should release from the windshield puck. See picture below.
Step 1: Factory Mirror Removal

Digital Ally, Inc. | Installation Instructions
3-2
1. Slide the new rearview DVM (Digital Video Mirror) onto the existing windshield mounting plate
and secure your DVM to the vehicle windshield. For some 2011 - 2013 Dodge vehicles, attach
and orientate the optional adapter to factory windshield as shown. Use Loctite™ to secure the
adapter to the factory windshield mount. If needed, attach optional drop down bracket as
shown.
2. Use a #20 Torx screw driver to tighten the mounting screw.
3. Adjust the viewing angle for the rearview mirror.
In some vehicles, the position of the manufacturer’s windshield mounting plate may
not allow for proper rearview DVM adjustment for some individuals, especially when
the vehicle is equipped with an overhead console and/or interior emergency lighting.
In these cases, the mounting plate included with the DVM-LiVE package must be
glued to the windshield in a location that will allow proper adjustment. Loctite
#03346 glue is recommended. Please follow instructions on their package
4. The unconnected end of the DVM shielding strap must be securely connected to the vehicle
chassis. The strap should be routed and attached to the metal structure above the windshield.
The shielding strap must be connected to a metal surface of the vehicle chassis to
prevent EMI and RF interference. Failure to properly connect the shielding strap may
cause system operation issues.
5. If the optional Big Ball Mount Kit (002-05102-00) was purchased, attach to the DVM as shown
below. Do not over tighten the hex locking screws in the middle of the Big Ball mount or the
DVM may break off the windshield when adjusted. Follow the instructions included in the kit.
6. Remove the protective film covering from the

Step 2: DVM Installation

Digital Ally, Inc. | Installation Instructions
3-3
Interface Box
The Interface Box (IO Box) must be securely mounted on a solid area of the
vehicle structure in a moisture free location where it can be easily accessed.
Possible mounting locations include:
•Under the dash on the passenger side.
•Behind the kick panel on the passenger side (or driver side).
•Screwed into the transmission tunnel sheet metal below the dash. On some vehicles this may
not be possible due to extreme heat radiated from the transmission.
Screwed into the exterior of the center console.
•Under the seat on some SUV-type vehicles.
•Behind a panel on the right hand side of the dash (nearest to the door).
Do not place the IO box directly on floorboard or mount it in areas where it could
be exposed to moisture such as air conditioner condensation, accidental liquid
spills, rain, snow, mud, or other elements that could be tracked into the vehicle
from outside the vehicle.
Do not place the IO box in an area that will subject the unit to excessive heat such
as a transmission tunnel or engine firewall.
Mount the IO box
1. Use the IO Box to DVM cable as a gauge to estimate an appropriate location for mounting the IO
box.
2. Once a suitable mounting location has been identified for the IO box, verify that the shielding
strap can be securely connected to the metal surface of the vehicle chassis. If the shielding strap
does not reach a suitable metal surface, reposition the IO box
appropriately.
3. Secure the unconnected end of the shielding strap to the vehicle chassis.
The shielding strap must be connected to a metal surface of the vehicle chassis to
prevent electrical interference. Failure to properly connect the shielding strap may
cause system operation issues.
DVM to Interface Box Cable Installation
1. Plug the connector of the IO box to DVM cable into the back of the
DVM.
2. Leaving slack in the cable at the mirror mounting bracket for DVM
adjustment, begin routing the cable from the DVM under the front
edge of the headliner down the windshield pillar towards the
mounting location for the IO box. To conceal the cable, it may be necessary to loosen the sun
visor mounting bracket and/or other trim pieces to allow the cable to be tucked in behind the
headliner.
Step 3: Interface Box Installation

Digital Ally, Inc. | Installation Instructions
3-4
Do not route wiring and cabling over sharp metal edge. Avoid running the cable
parallel to other wiring and/or antenna coax from other equipment in the vehicle. To
prevent electrical shorts or breakage in the wiring and cabling, do not allow wiring
and cabling to be pinched behind trim pieces, panels, or other physical objects.
3. Secure the cable using Velcro or standard tie wraps as required.
4. Plug the remaining end of the DVM cable into the IO box.
Power Cable Installation
1. Plug the connector of the Vehicle Power cable into the IO box.
2. Route the cable to a suitable location for electrical connection.
3. Remove 4 to 5 inches of the outer jacket at the bare end of the power cable.
Separate the braided shield from the individual conductors, attach an electrical terminal to the
end of the braided shield, and attach the terminal to the chassis of the vehicle.
4. Connect the Red wire of the power cable to the vehicle +12Vdc battery terminal and the Black
wire of this power cable directly to the vehicle’s chassis. It is required that the power wire be
tied in with DVM interface box connection with no obstructions to battery such as a cutoff
switch or charge guard system.
5. Connect the White wire to the ignition switch where +12vdc is only present when the vehicle
ignition key is in the ON position.
6. Secure the cable and the inline fuse housing using Velcro or standard tie wraps as required. The
cable contains a filter to help minimize unwanted RF noise and 3 amp fuse.
7. Re-connect the cable to the connector on the back of the DVM.
I/O Cable Installation
The IO Box provides multi-purpose sensor inputs that allow external devices to trigger an event
record in the mirror. It also provides an Output Alarm to turn devices on or off when an event
trigger occurs. The output alarm is also used to trigger the RMT-800 wireless microphone during a
record event. Common external sensors include; emergency lights, siren, brake pedal, turn signal
indicators, reverse gear, covert foot-switch, or door sensors.

5. Connect the supplied GPS receiver cable to the GPS connector on the
rear of the unit.
6. Place the antenna as high up as possible in the vehicle or on the roof
of the vehicle. Make sure the antenna is horizontal and is facing up
(smaller side up), and attach it in its intended location with double-
sided tape. Make sure the antenna is attached securely to the vehicle
so that it will not come loose when the vehicle moves. If possible, place it in a location near the
roofline in which there are no obstructions between it and the sky. DO NOT place the GPS
antenna in close proximity of the other GPS antenna you installed previously in step 7.
7. A cellular modem is required for live video streaming capabilites. Connect your cellular modem
with USB adapter to the USB port. Use a USB extension cord for connecting the cellular modem
to the unit. The modem functions best if it is installed high in the vehicle in an exposed location.
The extension cord should not be longer than about 1.5 meters. Please note that not all cellular
modems are supported. Please contact Digital Ally Technical Support for a list of supported
cellular modems.
