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
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.

Replacement Monitor
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).Dierent cars have dierent 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 an improper mirror installation.
Camera & Cable
Be sure to position the cable properly. The aviation camera cable uses
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 running inside the vehicle.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Rear View Safety
Wiring
After connecting the camera to the “camera cable” the camera should
be plugged into AV2. 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. It can be turned on by pressing the power button on
the monitor.
Precautions for use of Mirror Monitor
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. Only clean with a soft dry cloth and/or Windex.
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.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This reduces the possibility of cable being hooked or snagged.
