WIRING CONNECTIONS AND COMPONENT MOUNTING
Component mounting:
• Rear camera will be mounted with machine screws, nuts, and washers. If there
is no access to the backside of camera location, then self-drilling screws can
be used to mount the camera bracket.
• Side cameras must be mounted with the supplied machine screws, nuts, and
washers.
• Each camera requires 3/4” hole for the camera cable.
• Monitor mounting on step vans will depend on location (most will mount
overhead) and use the “U” bracket.
• Monitor requires a 3/4” hole for the cable or use an existing hole in shelf if
present.
10 ©Rear View Safety
MONITOR MOUNTING OVERHEAD IN STEP VAN
In most cases, the monitor will be mounted on the underside of overhead package
shelf of the step van.
• Mount with machine screws/bolts, nuts and washers. Never use self taping/
drilling screws for mounting overhead.
• Sit in driver’s seat to determine the best viewing angle.
• Be mindful of existing equipment, such as fan.
• Use the existing hole in the shelf if available, to route the monitor cable through.
• If no hole exists, drill 3/4” hole. Insert a snap bushing.
Note: Some step vans, like Utilimaster vans as an example are prewired for a
backup camera.
• Utilimaster: Look for a 15 pin plug at top left A pillar.
• Lt/Green - Reverse
• Pink - Ignition
• White - Ground

SIDE CAMERAS – STEP VAN
Flush Mounting – All Step Vans
Note: All step vans should have access on the backside of the fender for flush
mounting. Always double check on both sides to verify before drilling any holes.
Be sure to check both sides for air vent. Mount the camera below the air vent. If
there is no vent on the passenger side, mount the camera at the same height as
the driver’s side camera.
The location and angle of the camera will need to be set before drilling the holes.
Once determined, you can use the foam tape to mark the hole locations.
• Check angle with the flat lens portion of the camera. “Level” apps are available
for smart phones.
• The camera will be mounted to the fender with 3mm Metric (or #4 SAE) machine
screws, nuts and washers. This will require 9/64” holes.
• The camera cable will require a 3/4” hole. Use the foam sealing tape to mark
the cable hole.
• Check to make sure the drilled holes line up before peeling the truck side of the
tape
• Attach the camera with the supplied 3mm machine screws, nuts, and washers.

REAR CAMERA INSTALLATION - STEP VAN
The backup camera will mount above the rear door, in the center if possible, but
may need to be oset due to the location of existing running lights. If this is the
case, mount between the center light and either left or right center light. Make
sure the camera does not block any of the existing lights.
Note: Always avoid mounting the camera above a light to avoid the light washing
out the camera’s view.
• Use 10-24 x 1” machine screws, nylon insert lock nuts and washers to secure
the bracket to the van body.
• Drill a 3/4” hole above or below the bracket for the cable and grommet.
• Brush primer around the grommet hole and allow to dry.
• Insert the rubber grommet that is on the camera cable into the opening, making
sure that it is seated properly.
• Use thread locker on the screws that secure the camera to the mounting
bracket. Do Not tighten completely until the system is powered up.
• Once the system is powered up, you will need to adjust the angle of the camera.
• Adjust so you can see the edge of the bumper.
• Adjust the sun shield so it shades the camera as much as possible without
blocking any of the view.

BACKUP SENSORS OVERVIEW
This system is designed to use 6 backup sensors.
Each sensor will be labeled for the corresponding mounting location.
Upper sensors:
DU = Driver Upper
PU = Passenger Upper
Lower sensors:
DO = Driver Outer
DI = Driver Inner
PI = Passenger Inner
PO = Passenger Outer
• The 2 upper sensors mount near the upper outside corners of the body.
These are sensors DU and PU.
• The 4 lower sensors mount in the body below the door
and above the bumper or in the bumper in some cases.
These are sensors DO, DI, PI, PO.
• Please refer to install guide for your vehicle type for ideal ECU mounting
location.
Note: Some vehicles will have existing backup up sensors –
Most will not be removed.
• It will be best to mount the ECU first. This will allow you to:
• Plug in the sensor cable connector and route to each sensor and determine
the length of cable needed.
• The lower cables will route across the bottom to each sensor.
• The upper sensor cables will route up into the cargo area to each sensor.
• Plug in the power/monitor connector and route up into the cargo area along
with the upper sensor cables.

SENSOR INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• Carefully drill a 25mm hole and insert the Rubber Jacket, properly orientated
“UP”, in the hole first. Then insert the Sensor, again properly orientated “UP.”
• Depending on the thickness and construction of the bumper, the hole diameter
may need to be varied. The Rubber Jacket is designed to seat properly into a
25mm hole with a 1/8 inch (3.2mm) thick metal bumper. If this is not the case, the
flanges on the Rubber Jacket must be taken into consideration. It is suggested
that a test hole be utilized to confirm a proper fit.
• Each Sensor detects objects in a circular area approximately 20” in diameter.
It is recommended that the face of all Sensors should be on the same plane to
ensure the accuracy of the system.

CABLE ROUTING – STEP VAN
Route the upper sensor cable across to the passenger side upper backup sensor.
Be sure to secure the cable so that it cannot come in contact with the door
spring, cables or door. If using sticky tabs to attach zip ties, add screw in center
or add silicone to the perimeter of the sticky tab. The double sided tape will fail!
Route the rear camera cable towards the driver side and secure along with the
passenger side sensor cable.
Bundle the excess cables vertically in the driver side corner of the cargo box.
Note: Be sure that cables cannot be damaged by shifting packages.
Route loomed cable and wires through existing wire channel or body framing to
the front of the truck toward the passenger bulkhead and then to the driver’s side
A pillar.
Route the rear camera cable past the bulkhead and through the horizontal
channel over the driver’s side door/window.
If mounting the monitor to the overhead shelf:
• Route the rear camera cable over the shelf towards the center.
• Route the left side camera cable up the vertical channel at the left front side
(B pillar) of the door/window and towards the center.
• Route the right side camera cable up the vertical channel at the right front
side (B pillar) of the door/window and towards the center.
If mounting the monitor to the dash:
• Route the rear camera cable over the shelf towards the center.
• Route the left side camera cable up the vertical channel at the left front side
(B pillar) of the door/window and towards the center.
• Route the right side camera cable up the vertical channel at the right front
side (B pillar) of the door/window and towards the center.
