Your GPS device comes with a wireless reversing Camera. When the rear gear is
engaged, the image from the camera will be displayed on the screen of your GPS device,
aiding you in parking in difficult spots (works if camera is linked to the reversing light).
Included with the reversing camera are the following fitting parts; License Plate Bolts,
Wedge shaped mounting shims. These parts should be sufficient to mount the camera to
most vehicles. However, some vehicles may require additional parts for fitment.
WARNING: This device, as well as all other wireless devices, may be subject to
interference. Interference may be caused by cell phones, Bluetooth headsets, Wi-FI
routers, power lines and other various electrical equipment, etc. Also note that holding
the GPS unit in your hands may also result in interference.
Camera Installation
You may mount the camera using the license plate’s top or bottom mounting bolts or
screws. When mounting the camera you must make sure that it’s field of view is not
obstructed. Depending on the vehicle, you may mount the camera on the top or bottom
of the license plate. You can use the wedge shaped shims to alter the angle of the
camera during fitting, so that the best view is achieved.
1. Loosen the license plate bolts/screws, then remove the rear license plate.
2. Insert each license plate bolt into a supplied wedge, then through the bolt holes of
the camera, then through the remaining wedges and the license plate. (Fig.1)
License Plate
3. Align with holes on vehicle and temporarily tighten the license plate bolts. The
wedges will angle the camera down.
4. You will need to choose a route for the camera’s power cable through the vehicle’s
body to the reverse light circuit.

5. Some vehicle’s may have a hole available to pass the wire through, you can use an
existing opening (Fig.2) like where a license plate light is mounted, or drill a hole
close to where the power cable is attached to the camera. (Fig.3) Once you have
chosen where the cable will enter the vehicle’s body, remove the camera. If you
able to use an existing opening, skip the next two steps.

6. If you are going to drill a hole, choose a location as close to the camera where the
power cable comes out of it. Before You Drill A Hole You Must Check And See
What Is Behind Where You Are Drilling. If there are any vehicles components,
such as electrical parts or fuel system components behind where you are drilling,
you must take whatever precaution is necessary not to damage them. Remove the
license plate and camera before drilling.
7. After you have drilled a hole, pass the power cable through the wedge into the
vehicle.
8. Next you’ll need to find the vehicle’s reverse lights. Turn the vehicle’s ignition key to
the accessory position, engage the parking brake and put the car in reverse. Look
at the vehicle’s tail lights to see where the reverse lights are located.
To locate the reverse light’s 12V+ wire it will be necessary to gain access to the rear
of the vehicle’s tail light.
For help locating the vehicle’s reverse light circuit contact your vehicle’s
manufacturer for vehicle specific wiring diagrams.
9. Once you have located the reverse light circuit you will have to
route the camera’s power cable to that location. You must
securely fasten the power cable to prevent it from being caught
on any vehicle
Never route the cable on the outside of the vehicle.
10. The sockets for most vehicle’s reverse lights have two wires
connected to them. One is positive and one is negative, to determine which is
positive you will need at least a 12V test light available at any auto parts store, or a
multi-meter. Using the test light, attach the negative lead to a spot on the vehicle
that has a chassis ground, with the reverse light on touch the other lead to one of
the wires on the reverse light socket. When you touch one of the wires and the test
light comes on that wire is the positive wire, if the test light doesn’t come on, that
