LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF
ANY NATURE, OR LOSSES OR EXPENSES RESULTING FROM
ANY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT OR THE USE OF ANY PRODUCT.
SAFETY INFORMATION
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
23).

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).Dier-
ent cars have dierent 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 wrong installation of the mirror. Figure 1.1
Clip-On Monitor
1. The Mirror Monitor attaches to the existing rear view mirror in
vehicle with the pressurized clips on the back of the monitor.
2. Attach monitor to existing mirror, and adjust mounting angle to
allow optimum driver viewing comfort.
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
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 an igni-
tion 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 input. It can be turned on by pressing the power button on the
monitor. 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.

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 3M from the
back of the car and the yellow line is 6.5 ft. The distant red line is 1M from
the backside of car while the close red line is 0.4M. Both reference lines on
the left and right should leave 0.2M space from the car.
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.

DIGITAL COMPASS CALIBRATION
Digital Compass Calibration
The compass can be calibrated by driving your vehicle in several complete circles. See
gures below. If the vehicle’s compass headings become inaccurate, the compass
can also be manually calibrated:
1.Press the “MENU” three times to enter into“SETTING”menu, and press“SEL/REC”
button to choose the“ANGLE”. Press UP/DOWN to adjust the angle.
Please visit: http://magnetic-declination.com/ to nd out the compass angle
of your area. 5-1.
2. Press“ SEL/REC”to select the“CALIBRATION”, the default mode is“OFF”, press“DOWN”
select “AUTO”1-2.
3. Drive your vehicle in at least 2 circles counterclockwise, allowing 90 seconds
to complete one circle.
4. Keep your circle radius close to 5 meters and your speed less
than 10km/h for the most accurate calibration. 1-3.
Caution
1. Make sure the rear view mirror is clearly visable to the driver before calibration.
2. Do not calibrate the compass near a large truck.
3. Make sure that you drive in several complete circles, the steering wheel needs to reach a cer-
tain angle for calibration to function properly. The diameter of the driving circle should be close
to 5 meters.
4. Do not drive too fast when calibrating, your pace should be equal to one third normal adult
walking speed. Complete 2-3 circles to nish the calibration.
5. After a new car audio system is installed, the compass needs to be recalibrated. This is be-
cause the car’s magnetic eld has changed.
5. Press“SEL/REC” to select the“CALIBRATION”, press UP/DOWN, select“OFF”1-4.

TEMPERATURE SETTING
Q&A
Temperature Setting (Option)
Q: Why does the compass need to be calibrated?
A: The magnetism of a car is stronger than the magnetism of the Earth. The compass will only
function properly if it is calibrated to the magnetic conditions of Earth.
Q: Why is the compass not accurate in some areas?
A: In some areas, such as iron mines, high-intensity magnetic elds change the Earth’s
magnetism.
Q: Why are old cars more dicult to calibrate than new cars?
A: The older a car is, the more magnetized it will be. More magnetized cars are more dicult
to calibrate and may still have problems after calibration.
Press“MENU” to enter into“SETTING”menu, and press“SEL/REC”button to choose the
“TEMP UNIT”. Press UP/DOWN to switch between °F and °C 4-1.
Temperature Sensor Installation
The Distribution Of Magnetic Fluxline
Locate the temperature sensor between the front of the radiator and the front
bumper. Slide the metal clip over the edge of the sheet metal or plasic shield until it is secure.
Do not install the temperature sensor near the engine.
We do not recommend using the compass in an area with high magnetic
lines of ux. For example, in the north of Canada.
