10) If the screen enters the RearSight®interface menu, all
connections to the vehicle are complete. Next you will connect
your cameras to the RearSight®interface module. Install your
cameras per the instructions provided with them. Run power
for each camera from an ACC +12V source. Route your
camera RCA cables to the Interface module location.

use the monitoring functions. The red wire on the Rear Camera
input lead will provide power when the aftermarket rear camera
is activated and selected. DO NOT connect the camera power
leads to the turn signals or reverse lamps. The RearSight®
interface uses CAN technology to select the correct camera to
