Before You Begin
TIPS FOR PROPER CAMERA MOUNTING
• Ideal Location: Center (or as close to center as possible) of the windshield.
• Ideal Height: Highest point near rearview mirror - in the area swept by the wipers.
• Field of View: Should be clear of any occlusions (EZPass, rear view mirror, window tint, etc.)
• Angle: Camera should have a negative pitch angle (it should look “down” a few degrees.)
• The eld of view should not have too much “sky”.
• Split windows may have to adjust mounting location other than what is recommended in this
document. Consult with your implementation manager at Pedigree Technologies.

t properly.)

area or just left or right of center divider
• Highest possible placement within the wiper
blade path
• Avoid any overhanging exterior sun visor or other
materials on glass including rock chips or cracks.

Power Cable
During the dry t, make sure you can route the cable inside the headliner and A pillar to the power
box. (Avoid airbags and other hardware inside the A pillar.) Cables and wiring should not be visible
after installation is complete. (Connect the accessory harness to power/fuse panel before actually
routing the cables in the A pillar.)

STEP TWO
Connect the red wire 10 amp fuse to a constant power source.
It is labeled B+ and can replace your current B+ 10 amp fuse.
Test with a volt meter to make sure that power is constant. (Any
10 amp fuse with constant power can be used.)
(Optional) Power to Fuse Tap
It may be necessary to connect the power wire to a blade fuse adapter. Snip the fuse end from the
yellow and/or red wires and attach a fuse tap to
each wire. Crimp each wire in the open end of the
adapter
Yellow Wire: Remove the ACC fuse and insert it
into the fuse adapter (maximum 10 Amps)
• Plug the adapter into the open ACC fuse slot
Red Wire: Remove the B+ fuse and insert it into the fuse adapter (maximum 10 Amps)
• Plug the adapter into the open B+ fuse slot
STEP THREE
Connect the yellow wire 10 amp fuse to a switched ignition source. It is labeled ACC and can
replace your current Accessory 10 amp fuse. Test with a volt meter to make sure that power to the
circuit is off when the ignition is off and power to the circuit is on when the ignition is on. (Any 10
amp fuse with switched ignition power can be used.)
STEP ONE
Connect the ground (black) wire of the
accessory harness to DC chassis ground.
• Always connect the ground wire to an
already established ground stud when
possible.
• The frame of the vehicle is an acceptable
ground point if ground studs are not
available.
• The surface area must be clean and free of
paint, rust, or anything that will cause the
connection to fail.
