Chapter Two: Product Installation
2.1 How to Install RVM-045DVRHD Rear View Mirror
Different vehicles use different mounting brackets depending on the manufacturer.
Note: While the mirror in some vehicles is easy to remove, in some it may be a difficult process.
If you find it difficult to remove your factory installed rear-view mirror, please do not force it as you
could break your windscreen. In the case of difficult mirror removal, we recommend you seek a
professional to dismantle the original rear view mirror.
Line up the mounting bracket
with the universal mount
Insert the bracket into the top of the Slide the bracket into position in the
mount aligning both edges direction specified
Fix the bracket in place by tightening
the screw in the direction specified

2.2 How to install the (optional) rear view camera
The rear view camera is usually installed above the middle of the license plate frame.
If your vehicle does not already have a
reverse camera installed it is recommended
you install a camera above the rear number
plate as close to the centre of the vehicle as possible. Installing a rear camera will allow for both
front and rear simultaneous recording and rear view blind spot viewing when the reverse gear is
selected. The optional rear view camera is sold separately.
If you install an optional rear view camera, please ensure
you select a high quality camera as it will be functional at
all times while the vehicle is operational and recording to
the DVR. We also recommend you select a wide angle
camera that clearly captures both rear view traffic and
reverse parking viewing angles. To view the complete
range of Parkmate rear view cameras, visit
