ward of the back of the driver’s seat or in any location that is vis-
ible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the
vehicle.

Before You Begin Installation
Before drilling please check that no cable or wiring is on the
other side of the wall. Please clamp all wires securely to reduce
the possibility of them being damaged while vehicle is in use.
Keep all cables away from hot or moving parts and electrical
noisy components.
We recommend doing a benchmark test before installation
to insure that all components are working properly.
Step 1: Choose the monitor and camera locations.
Step 2: Install all cables in vehicle, when necessary a 0.8 (20mm)
hole should be drilled for passing camera cable through vehicles
walls. Install split grommets where applicable.
Step 3: Once all cables and wiring have been properly routed,
perform a system function test by temporarily connecting the
system. If the system seems to not be operating properly see
troubleshooting (page 20).

Installation Guide
Mirror
The mirror monitor replaces the existing car mirror. Carefully remove the
mirror off the “pin”. Slide the replacement mirror onto the pin and se-
cure it with the screw provided (already in the screw hole). There are
many methods to remove the original rear-view mirror, however, please
don’t force the mirror off the bracket.
The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage caused to your car
by wrong installation of the mirror. Figure 1.1
Camera & Cable
When installing the camera at the rear of the vehicle, remove the exist-
ing tailgate handle and replace with the tundra tailgate handle.
Be sure to position the cable properly. The aviation camera cable uses
aircraft grade connectors which means the camera cable can be ex-
posed to all weather elements. Do not run the cable over sharp edges,
do not kink the cable and keep away from OT and rotating parts.
Fasten all cables and secure all excess cable. Connect camera to the
camera extension cable which runs inside the vehicle. Attach camera to
the center of the license plate are using the screws provided and adjust
the angle. Figure 1.2
Wiring
After connecting the camera to the "camera cable" the camera should
be plugged into AV2 input. Connect the RED 12V power wire to a an

Installation Guide + Tips
ignition power source and the BLACK 12V ground wire to a chassis ground.
The GREEN wire is the REVERSE trigger wire. Connect this wire to the vehicle’s
backup light circuit to activate the rear-view image whenever the vehicle shifts
into reverse. To connect a second camera, connect it to AV1 and it can be turned
on by pressing the power button on the monitor. Figure 2.1
Precautions for use of Mirror Monitor
I. The Mirror Monitor is made of glass. Do not subject it to a mechanical
shock by dropping it from a high place, etc.
II.Do not apply excessive force to the monitor surface or the adjoining
areas since this may cause the color tone to vary.
III.Clean with a soft dry cloth and/or Windex only.
IV. Do not attempt to disassemble the mirror monitor.
Safety
• Before drilling, be sure no cable or wire is on the other side.
• Feed as much cable as possible into vehicle & clamp securely. This reduces the
possibility of
cable being hooked or snagged.
• Camera: Drill a 20mm (0.8in) diameter hole into vehicle body near the camera
and bracket. Insert camera cable into vehicle (be careful not to kink cable) and fit
grommet into hole. Apply sealant around grommet to increase resistance to water
penetration.
