Rear View Safety
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
31).

Wiring
After connecting the camera to the “camera cable” connect the camera
cable to the input on the wiring harness using the RCA adapter. 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. Be sure
to power the camera via the RED power port on the RCA adapter.
Precautions For Use Of Mirror Monitor
INSTALLATION GUIDE + TIPS
I. The Mirror Monitor is made of glass. Do not subject it to a
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.
Safety
• Before drilling, be sure no cable or wire is on the other side.
• Feed as much cable as possible into vehicle & clamp securely.
This reduces the possibility of cable being hooked or snagged.
