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/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.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Replacement Monitor
The mirror monitor replaces the existing car mirror. Carefully remove
the mirror o the“pin”. Slide the replacement mirror on to the pin and
secure it with the screw provided (already in the screw hole).Dier-
ent cars have dierent brackets. Depending on your vehicle make and
manufacturer. There are many methods to remove the original rear-
view mirror, however, please don’t force the mirror o the bracket.
The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage caused to your
car by incorrect mirror installation. Figure 1.1
Camera & Cable
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 HOT and rotating parts.
Fasten all cables and secure all excess cable. Connect camera to the
camera extension cable which runs inside the vehicle. Figure 1.2
Reverse With Condence ™ 9
INSTALLATION GUIDE
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
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 additional camer-
as, connect to the corresponding input. Figure 2.1, Figure 2.2
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.

ADJUTABLE GRID LINE
Generally, to help drivers estimate the distance from obstacles, there are
three lines for reference- red, yellow, and green. Those three lines are dis-
played on the monitor when car is reversing.The green line is 10 feet from
the back of the car and the yellow line is 6.5 feet away.The distant red line
is 3.3 from the backside of car while the closed red line is 1.3 feet from the
car. Both reference lines on the left and right should leave 0.65 feet from
the car.
Grid Lines
9.9 feet
6.6 feet

The accuracy of the grid-lines can vary based on how you angle your cam-
era. Therefore to compensate for inaccurancies, you can adjust the grid
lines to your camera angle.

Trigger Priority
1. The left or the right camera inputs will take priority over all oth-
er cameras. This is unless the right/left/reverse trigger wires are
triggered simultaneously. In this event, the monitor would display
the image from the backup camera.
2. The reverse trigger wire has the third priority.
3. The front trigger wire has the least priority.
