The Clip on mirror design securely mounts on the existing rear
view mirror in the vehicle by expanding the clamping arms at the
back. The video signal is transferred from the camera to the
Mirror Display via an RCA cable that will need to be run through
the boot, through the passenger compartment to the mirror
displays wired loom run under the dash. From there the power
and video signals are sent directly to the display. At the rear of
the car the camera is powered directly from the reversing tail
light. Priority is the AV2 input.
3. INSTALLATION DIAGRAM

In most instances, the camera is best mounted above the
vehicles license plate as shown here.
1. Connect the RED wire of the Cameras Power Harness to the
wire that supplies power to the reversing light globe (the wire that
is energized only when the car is put into reverse). Before
making the electrical connection, temporarily disconnect the
camera from the power plug whilst making the connection to the
reversing light globe. Use a suitable splicing/crimp connector
(scotch lock type) or strip connector. This connection can also be
soldered, making sure to insulate the joint with electrical
insulation when done. The camera has only one wire to connect
(positive (+). There is no need to hook up a ground earth wire as
the camera gets its earth through the RCA cable. Hooking up the
ground earth may cause a ground loop. In this case horizontal
lines will appear in the image.
NOTE: CAN BUS
In the event that the cars reversing lights are driven by CAN BUS
the above wiring system may not trigger the system correctly. It
may even create a globe fault warning. In this case a CAN BUS

module (sold separately) may need to be installed. However, just
because the vehicle has a CAN BUS system does not
necessarily mean that it will require such a module to work. In
fact the opposite is true. Most vehicles do not require an
additional module. If a CAN BUS module is required we
recommend seeking advice from a professional installer.
2. After you have insulated the join you can connect the power
harness to the camera.
NOTE:
Some cars that run LED or computer controlled lighting systems
may not deliver enough voltage to run the camera. If the voltage
at the reversing wire light is less than +12 volts it may be
necessary to use a relay to supply power to the transmitter
harness from the wiring in the front of the car. In this case the
reversing light only needs to trigger the relay. Make sure that you
do not drill holes in the panels that have an opposite face that is
visible outside the car for example guard panels. In fact,
whenever drilling holes in the bodywork of a vehicle, always see
what is on the other side.
3. Connect one end of the supplied RCA cable to the RCA socket
from the camera, then run the RCA cable to the front under side
of the driver side dash board. This is where the display’s loom
will be located. To do this you will need to remove the rear seat
to pass the cable into the cabin area and you will need to remove
the door scuff plates to run the wire along the side of the vehicle.
The RCA cable will be hidden when you replace the scuff plates.
When the cable is at the front of the vehicle the RCA cable needs
to be run from the scuff plate area to the underside of the dash
behind the kick trim (remove and run cable).

4. The display has two power wires to be connected. Connect the
red wire (accessories +12V) to a wire that is energized when the
vehicles accessories is turned on. Connect the black wire to a
ground earth wire or to the body of the car using the steel of the
cars body behind the kick trim as an earth. In this case drill a
small hole and connect the wire using a suitable ring terminal.
Scrape off the cars paint around the hole to ensure good earth.
5. Connect the RCA cable to the RCA socket from the displays
loom.
1. Engage the park brake and turn the ignition key to the on
position. DO NOT start the vehicle.
2. Select reverse gear with the gear shift. The Mirror Display will
sense the video signal from the camera automatically and will
display the camera’s image of the rear of the vehicle.
