GX5HDKT INSTRUCTION MANUAL
INSTALLATION
The video signal is transferred from the camera to the monitor via an RCA cable that will need
to be run through the boot, through the passenger compartment to the monitors wired loom
run under the dash. From there the power and video signals are sent directly to the monitor.
At the rear of the car the camera is powered directly from the reversing tail light. Priority is the
AV2 input. We recommend that you wire up the triggers as the last part of your installation
(after the systems monitor has been wired) this is so that you can use the system as a safe
way to test for a reversing wire. Back up camera systems (reversing camera systems) require
a signal to “Trigger” the system into action so that it automatically operates when the vehicle
is in reverse. Whilst some systems are designed to allow cameras to operate even when the
vehicle is not in reverse it is still necessary to wire a trigger system in so that the Camera
that is facing backward automatically turns and or takes over as priority when in the vehicle
is in reverse. When wired in correctly using the right trigger priority, the system can also
automatically turn on the rear camera of an attached trailer taking priority over the vehicles
back up camera when the trailer is connected. The most common way to trigger the rear
facing camera is to use the + wire that powers one of the vehicles reversing globes at the
back of the vehicle.
NOTE: Some vehicles that Use CANBUS to operate rear lighting systems may require
additional parts to trigger the system. A CANBUS lter is supplied with this kit.
Caution: Never test for reversing wires standing at the back of the vehicle, with the engine
running and the gearbox in reverse gear. If the car/truck can not be placed in reverse
without the engine running, Special procedures should be employed. In this case we highly
recommend you seek a professional installer to do this type of work. Failure to follow proper
procedure could cause serious injury or death. (The vehicle could back over you).
Step 1.
Place the car in reverse, with ignition on but the car not running (do not leave the cars ignition
on for long periods of time without starting it) observe or have an observer notice which light
turns on and its location in the lens. Turn the ignition off. Then, locate the globe socket that
holds the reversing globe into the lens. In some cases the Lens has to be removed from the
car to expose the socket. In most cases however, you can gain access from the inside of the
car behind a removable interior wall/panel.
Step 2.
Identify which wire is the globes ground and which is positive (see Fig 1 picture page 3).
Light globes have very low resistance so if a globe is in place, both wires will show up as a
ground. Even if you remove the globe the second globe on the other side of the vehicle will
still give the positive side a short path to ground and may still be indistinguishable from the
globes earth. For this reason it is necessary to energize the globe to nd out which side is
positive and which side is negative. Using a multimeter set to DC volts (make sure that it is on
the correct scale) attach the negative probe to one of the globes wires and the positive probe
to the other (in most cases you can push the probe ends into the back of the globe socket) if
not, you may have to carefully strip both wires sheaths back to expose the wires core making
sure you keep them separate and away from the cars chassis to avoid any shorts).

INSTALLATION
You should also make sure the globe it self is not resting on something that could be harmed
by extreme heat as the globe when on can get very hot). Turn the ignition back on again with
the cars gear set to reverse (without the engine running). The globe should illuminate and
the multimeter will show a positive voltage or a negative voltage across the globe. By noting
whether the voltage is positive or negative you can dene which wire is positive or negative.
If the reading is positive then the probes positive is connected to the positive wire. If it’s a
negative reading then the multimeter’s negative probe is connected to the positive wire of the
globe as a nal check, take the vehicle out of reverse with the ignition still on and check that
the voltage is now zero.
If the vehicle can not be placed in reverse without the engine running the following procedure
should be used. With the car off, remove the globe. Set your multimeter to resistance on the
lowest setting. Place one probe on a part of the chassis that is ground (most rear tail light
assemblies have a small grounding screw close by). If you can not nd one look for some
exposed chassis (like a tailgate hinge etc). Measure the resistance to ground of both wires
in the back of the globe socket (with the globe out) whist the resistance will be very similar
(because of the other globe still in the circuit) one wire will have a slightly higher resistance.
The one with the highest resistance should be the positive wire.
Connect the system to this wire and then use the reversing system to test if it is triggering.
With no one at the rear of the vehicle. Start the car. Make sure the reversing systems monitor
is in the off state and then place the vehicle in reverse. If you have found the correct wire the
system will automatically turn on from its off state. If you have connected the trigger to the
globes earth no harm is caused but the system will not trigger. In that case simply connect it
to the alternate wire and repeat.
CAN BUS
In the event that the cars reversing lights are driven by CAN BUS the above wiring system
may not trigger the system correctly. It may even create a globe fault warning. In this case
the CAN BUS module supplied may need to be installed. However, just because the vehicle
has a CAN BUS system does not necessarily mean that it will require such a module to work.
In fact the opposite is true. Most vehicles do not require an additional module. If a CAN BUS
module is required we recommend seeking advice from a professional installer.
Multi trigger systems. Please refer to the diagram provided with trailer trigger systems. Pay
special attention to the AV camera numbers and trigger numbers. It is important that the AV
camera numbers match the diagrams placement in order to provide the correct priorities so
that when a trailer is connected it takes rear view priority over the vehicles rear view camera
and so that when no trailer is connected the vehicles rear camera operates automatically.

INSTALLATION
Testing the reverse camera function
1.Engage the park brake and turn the ignition key to the on position. DO NOT start the vehicle.
2. Select reverse gear with the gear shift. The monitor will sense the video signal from the camera
automatically and will display the camera’s image of the rear of the vehicle.
