LCD Monitor Layout

Install VLCD-74PR LCD monitor
1. Depending on the vehicle, the LCD monitor may be ceiling mounted or dash
mounted. The U Shape monitor bracket can be flipped based on location
2. Different mount options may be used –monitor has slide rail on the rear, as well
as ¼hole 20 thread. Custom mount brackets sold separately
3. Clean mounting surface to remove dust and debris, ensure an even flat surface.
Use screws with washer (or nut and bolt) into the base of U-Shaped bracket
4. Ensure the mounting bracket is properly secured to avoid movement or fall
5. Monitor angle may be adjusted by loosening the knobs on the side of monitor.
Once adjusted, tighten knob to ensure angle is secured

IMPORTANT: Check vehicle manufacture user manual to ensure proper connection of power, fuse and turn signal wire. Never
CUT, Strip and splice OEM factory wires as it may damage or interfere with vehicle operation. Use Posi- Tap / T-Tap connectors
when connecting Ventra systems to vehicle wire. As many wires are multi function wires and when tapping into those, could lead to
other undesired malfunctions.
Turn Signal Trigger –OPTIONAL CONNECTION
When finding turn signal, find the TRUE Turn Signal. Use voltage meter to measure the wire of turn signal. Example: Tap the brake and
see if there’s voltage. If there's voltage on the wire, then it’s a multipurpose wire – do not connect Ventra turn signal trigger wire to
that wire
For any triggered action, such as turn signal or reverse gear, the monitor will continue to display full screen mode of that camera for 7
seconds (user configurable) after trigger is disengaged.

Camera angle should NOT be obstructed by any object. Camera should be placed at least 3 inches
above fender
IMPORTANT –Check the interior of the truck first to ensure no existing factory cable / hardware
before drilling camera hole to avoid any damage. Use Cable loom to protect cable and leave some
slack for cable to move with vehicle sway
1. Once location is determined, use the rubber shock absorbent pad from the camera as the
screw mounting and camera cable hole template
2. Using a ¼” drill bit, drill a pilot hole first. Then use a ¾” hole saw to drill the main hole for
camera cable to go through. Clean any debris from the hole to prevent sharp edges
3. Carefully remove the 4 screws from camera housing to expose the screw holes to affix to
vehicle.
4. Use cable loom to protect camera cable. Feed the EX4-CBL15 15ft camera cable through, and
secure the cable with the grommet on the camera. Use screws (or nut and bolt) to secure
camera on vehicle. Apply weather sealant to grommet to prevent water leakage through the
truck body
5. Secure all camera cables to truck with cable ties. Route camera cables along the interior of the
truck, avoiding sharp edges and corner. Provide slack for cable to minimize cable pull tension
Camera angle orientation can be
adjusted by loosening the 4 screws
located on each corner of the
camera housing.
Gently rotate the camera angle so
the BLUE dot (light sensor) is at
the bottom (6 o’clock position),
corresponding to the camera
placement orientation.
This ensures proper camera
viewing angle / orientation.

2. Using a ¼” drill bit, drill a pilot hole first. Then use a ¾” to drill the main hole for camera
cable to go through. IMPORTANT –Check the interior of the truck first to ensure there are
no existing factory cable or hardware inside the truck to avoid any damage
3. Once hole is drilled, feed the EX4-CBL45 45ft camera cable through (protect camera cable
with cable loom), and secure the cable with the grommet on the camera. Use screws (or nut
and bolt) to secure camera on vehicle. Apply weather sealant to grommet to prevent water
leakage through the truck body
4. Camera angle can be adjusted by loosening the screws located on the side of camera.
Ensure the camera can see a portion of either the rear door or step rail as a point of
reference. (Orange dotted line illustrates the angle as reference)
5. Secure all camera cables to truck with cable ties to avoid damage from door or object
objects
6. Route camera cables along the interior of the truck, avoiding sharp edges. Connect camera
