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er­ent cars have dierent brackets, depending on your vehicle make and
manufacturer. There are many methods to remove the original rear­view 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

After connecting the camera to the “camera cable” the camera should
be plugged into AV2 input. Connect the RED 12V power wire to an igni­tion power source and the BLACK 12V ground wire to a chassis ground.

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
