the provided camera pod will be placed.
(Figure G)
Installation:
9. Run the camera wire into the pod, and
run the wire in thru the mirror into

CAMERA INSTALLATION (CONT.)
10. After the wire from the camera is ran into the interior
of the door panel, follow the route that is shown in the
picture below. Cut a small hole or slit in the cover that is
also shown in the picture below, indicated by a circle. This
will allow easier access to the boot of the door. (Figure I)
11. Pop off the rubber cover from the boot in the door jamb
to gain access to the connector inside. There are (2)
clips located at the top and bottom of the connector for
removal. Remove the connector from the truck, then
unplug the (2) connectors within the connector. (Figure J)
12. Once the wire is ran through the boot, the connector will
need to be modified to allow the camera cable through.
Care must be taken so that the connector and rubber
boot will stay intact to ensure that the connector remains
water resistant like factory. Reference the highlighted
area below. This is where a channel will need to be made
to allow the camera cable through. It is suggested for
this be carefully done with a either a file or a roto tool.
Placing a piece of tape over the wire while pushing the
connector back into the vehicle is also suggested to avoid
it from coming loose and getting jammed up during the
reconnection process. (Figures K & L)

CAMERA INSTALLATION (CONT.)
13. After the boot is back in place and the
connectors are plugged back into the
connector, run the camera cable to
the radio opening. Duplicate the same
process for the opposite door.
Attention! If the vehicle is equipped with a 4.2”
radio display screen, the following (4) steps
will need to be performed to retain the signal
from the turn signal indicators. If the vehicle is
equipped with an 8” screen, skip to step 18.
14. Remove the bottom of the steering
column by prying up the upper steering
column with a pry tool. (Figure M)
15. Remove three 7mm screws from the
bottom of the steering column cover.
(Figure M)
16. The turn signal connector is located
on the passenger side of the steering
column, towards the steering wheel.
(Figure N)
17. Disconnect the 12-pin gray connector,
then plug in the LD-STALK-FD1. Run both
the Blue and Blue/Red wires to the
radio location.
18. Once the wires are at the radio location, connect the
appropriate T-harnesses provided with the kit. 4.2”
screen models will use the 12-pin T-harness; 8” screen
models will use the 52-pin T-harness. For the 4.2”
screen models, the Blue and Blue/Red wires from
the previous steps will need to be connected by butt
connectors that come preinstalled on the harness.
19. Take the female RCA from the T-harness and connect it
to the male RCA from the AX-ADDCAM harness labeled
“Camera output.”
20. If the vehicle is equipped with a factory camera, take
the male RCA from the T-harness and connect it to
the female RCA from the AX-ADDCAM harness labeled
“Camera 1”.
21. Connect the RCA’s from the side cameras to the female
RCA’s from the AX-ADDCAM harness labeled “Camera 2”
and “Camera 3”. Remember which side was plugged
into which camera input. This is important when
programming the interface.
22. Ground the Black wire from the cameras to chassis
ground.
23. Connect the Red wire from the cameras to the red wire
from the AX-ADDCAM labeled “Camera 12V”.
