Alwaysbackupslowlyandwithcaution.

•NeverdependontheBackupCameraentirelywhenbackingup.Theimageonthescreenisdifferentfromactualand
real‐timeconditions.Objectsviewedintherearviewmonitordifferfromactualdistancesbecauseawide‐anglelensis
used.Sousethecameraasanaidandalwaysfollowintendeddrivingpracticestoproperlyjudgedistancesfromobjects.

•TheBackupCamera'sassistedlowluxlightingperformancefeatureisalsoanaidtoadriver.Alwaysuseyourowneyes
toconfirmthevehicle’ssurroundings,asthedisplayedimagemaybenotwelllitornotentirelyvisible.Alwaysproceed
withcautionandperformdouble‐checksbeforeproceeding.

•TheareadisplayedbytheBackupCameraislimited.Itdoesnotdisplayobjectsthatareclosetoorjustbelowthe

SystemInstallationandWiring
CameraSysteminstallationonvariousvehiclesmayrequireaslightlydifferentwiringinstall.Theseinstallationinstructionsdonotapplytoalltypesof
vehicles.Theyaremeantonlyasageneralguideduetothelargenumberofvehiclemakesandmodels.Consultyourlocalmotorvehiclelawsonthe
useofthisproducttobesureitispermitted.Throughinstallationofthisbackupcamerasystem,youshouldbesureastonotdegrade,damageor
compromisethesafetyofanysystemordeviceonyourvehicle.Improperinstallationandwiringofthevehicleback‐upcamerasystemmaydamage
thevehicle'selectricalsystem,includingvitalvehiclecomputerandoperatingsystems.Thatcouldleadtoanaccidentorfire,causingproperty
damageand/orseriouspersonalinjury.Itishighlyrecommendedtoseekprofessionalinstallationadvicefromaqualifiedautoelectricianor,inthe

QuickInstallation:
Thebackupcamerasystemiscompatiblewithawiderangeofvehiclesandvideodisplaymonitors.
(especiallysuitablefortheincludedrearviewmirrorandmonitorassembly.)

Thiskitincludesnecessarywiringandcableconnectoraccessoriessufficientfortypicalconnections.However,
additionalaccessorycablesandinstallationmaterialsmaybenecessaryforacompletelysecureand
operationalbackupcameraperformance.

The2.4Gwirelessmodulescomeintwoparts,eachservingastransmitters/receivers.ThewirelessmodulesfeatureDC
12Vpowercablesthatsupplypowertotheincludedrearviewcameraandmirrormountassembly.

CameraConnection:
Connectthecamerausingoneofthewirelesstransmitter/receiverDC12Vwiringharnesses.Usetheredwire
toconnecttothepositive12Vreversetaillightintherearofyourcar.Youmayneedtotemporarilyremovean
interiorpanelorothercover.Then,connecttheblackwireofthewirelesstransmitter/receiverharnessand
groundproperly.(Redwireispositive,blackwireisnegative).Thiswirelesstransmitter/receiverDC12Vharness
connectstothecameraandwillsupplypowertothecameradirectly.Theconnectedwirelessmodulewillserve
asatransmitterandsendsthevideosignalfromthecameratotheLCDdisplayonthemirrormountassembly.
Finally,securetheyellowRCAvideoconnection(videoconnectorsofthecameratothewirelessmodule).

RearviewMirrorMonitorAssemblyConnection:
Connecttherearviewmirrormonitorassemblyusingtheotherwirelesstransmitter/receiverDC12Vwiring
harness.Usetheredwiretoconnecttoyourvehicle'sfusepanel(preferablytothe12Vignitionswitch).You
mayneedtotemporarilyremoveaninteriorpanelorothercover.Then,connecttheblackwireofthewireless
transmitter/receiverharnessandgroundproperly.Thiswirelesstransmitter/receiverDC12Vharness
connectionnowneedstobepluggedintothepowerconnectoroftherearviewmirrormountassembly.The
connectedwirelessmodulewillserveasareceiverandreceivethevideosignalfromthecameraanddisplaya
picture.Finally,securetheyellowRCAconnectorofthewirelesstransmitter/receiverDC12Vharnesstothe
whitevideoconnectorofthemirrorassembly(todisplaypictureonlywhenyourvehicleisplacedinreverse).
Caution:Thisunitisdesignedtooperateon12VDCNEGATIVEGROUNDelectricalsystems.Connectingtoothertypesofelectrical
systemswillcausedamagetoyourvehicle.Pleasecontactthemanufacturerifyouareunawareofthesystemtypeinyourvehicle.

ImportantNotes:
ThewhitevideoinputconnectorfromtherearviewmirrorassemblyservesastheReverseSignalSenseandtakes
priorityovertheyellowvideoinputconnector.

Ifyouconnectthecameratotheyellowvideoinputofthemirrorassembly,therewillbeaconstantpicturedisplayedon
theLCDdisplay.

Ifyouconnectthecameratothewhitevideoinputofthemirrorassembly,therewillbeapicturedisplayedontheLCD
displayonlywhenthevehicleisplacedinreversegear.

OptionalHard‐WiredInstallation:
Thecameraandmonitorsystemincludeswiringforoptionalhard‐wiredinstallation.Thesystemincludes(2)DC12Vpowercables.

CameraConnection:
ConnectthecamerausingoneoftheDC12Vpowercables.Usetheredwiretoconnecttothepositive12V
reversetaillightintherearofyourcar.Youmayneedtotemporarilyremoveaninteriorpanelorothercover.
Then,connecttheblackwireoftheDC12Vpowercableandgroundproperly.(Redwireispositive,blackwireis
negative).ThisDC12Vpowercableconnectstothecameraandwillsupplypowertothecameradirectly.Finally,
securetheyellowRCAvideoconnectionandruntheyellowvideocablefromthecameratotherearviewmirror
assembly.*Remember,connectingtothewhitevideoinputofthemirrorassemblywillprovideapictureonly
whenthevehicleisplacedinreversegear.

RearviewMirrorMonitorAssemblyConnection:
ConnecttherearviewmirrormonitorassemblyusingtheDC12Vpowercable.Usetheredwiretoconnectto
yourvehicle'sfusepanel(preferablytothe12Vignitionswitch).Youmayneedtotemporarilyremovean
interiorpanelorothercover.Then,connecttheblackwireoftheDC12Vpowercableandgroundproperly.
ThisDC12Vpowercableconnectstotherearviewmirrormonitorandwillsupplypowertothecameradirectly.


MirrorAssemblyMounting
Therearviewmirrorassemblymountsoveryourexistingrearviewmirrorhousing.Thespring‐typeclampmechanism
easilyfitsoveryourrearviewmirrorandsitsontopofit,withoutcausinganydamage.Usetwohandstofirmlyholdthe
newmirrorassemblyoveryourexistingmirror,withonehandholdingthemirror,andtheotherexpandingthespring‐type
clampmechanism.

MirrorAssemblyButtonControls
Locatedinthebackoftherearviewmirrorassemblyarebuttoncontrols.Thetopandbottombuttonsserveassettings
adjustmentcontrols(UP/DOWN),whilethecenterbuttoncanbepressedtoaccesssettingslike:brightness,contrast,
saturation,tint,mode(16:9,4:3),languageandsettingsRESET.

‐Determinethebestlocationforthecamera(Keepinmindthatyoumustrunthecablefromthecameratothetransmitter).Youmay
needtodrillasmallholeinthepanelnearyourlicenseplate(Thecameraispreferablymountedjustabovethelicenseplate).
‐Besurewhenrunningtheconnectioncablestoleaveasmallamountofslacksoyoucanstillmovethecameraaroundthelicense
plate,ifyoudecidetoslightlyadjustthecamera'spositioningatalatertime.
‐Testthecamera,activateyourvehicleandseeifthesystemfunctions.Yourconnectedmonitorwillautomaticallypoweronif
properlyconnectedtoapowersource.Placingyourvehicleinreverseshouldprovideapicture(ifconnectedthroughthewhitevideo
inputofthemirrorassembly.
