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
19).

aircraft grade connectors which means the camera cable can be exposed 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

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
ignition 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 and 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

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.
