1. Unclip and remove the factory license plate illumination lamp using a screw driver or panel
removing tool (STEP 1). Be cautious not to scratch the paint on the body surface.
2. Connect the license plate lamp illumination wires of the VS-186 to the factory license plate
illumination lamp harness that was connected to the factory lamp (STEP 2)
3. Route the wiring harness into the vehicle (STEP 3). There may be an existing factory rubber
grommet that you can use to run the wiring into the trunk area. If you have to drill a hole,
make sure to double check behind the drilling location before drilling. Once the hole is drilled
and the wiring is run into the vehicle, seal the edges of the hole with silicon or caulking to
prevent moisture damage.
4. Snap the camera securely into place in the mounting location (STEP 4).
NOTE: The interior panels of the rear cargo hatch will need to be removed in order to route the
camera cable into the car. This will also make it easier to remove the license plate lamp.
WIRING:
1. Carefully choose a hidden out-of-sight location for drilling the cable hole. Some vehicles may
have an existing hidden rubber grommet or plug available to avoid having to drill into the body.
Be sure to double-check for any wiring or obstructions behind the surface where you are going to
drill the cable hole. Seal the hole using silicon or caulking to prevent moisture damage.
2. Choose a convenient place to run the camera cable up the left, right or center of the vehicle. As
a rule of thumb, try to avoid main factory harness looms that may contain high levels or RF noise
or interference.
3. You can connect the camera power at the rear of the vehicle behind the reverse lights. You may
also connect power inside the vehicle under the dash or in the trunk. The Red power wire goes to
Reverse Light +12V, and the Black wire to Ground.
4. The other pair of Red and Black wires is for license plate illumination. Connec t the Red wire to
the +12 volt license plate illumination wire in the f actor y light harness, and connect the Black wire
to the Ground wire in the license plate illumination harness
5. Run the Yellow RCA video cable to the monitor’s video input or reverse camera input
