Make sure the driver’s vision is not obstructed in any way or any of the vehicle’s 2. Route the monitor’s power cable to the vehicle’s fuse block/box or cigarette lighter socket/12V power outlet depending on the cable you are using 3. If you are satisfied with the location of the monitor and the cable route you have chosen, attach the monitor or Using the Monitor with the 12 Volt Cigarette Lighter Adaptor stand with the supplied Velcro. Monitor Power Connection There are two ways to supply the monitor with power, one uses a 12 Volt cigarette lighter adaptor plugged into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket, and the other uses a wiring harness hard wired to the vehicle’s fuse box. Hard Wired Using Vehicle’s Reverse Light Circuit for ON/OFF (Fig. 2) 1. Remove the negative battery cable from the vehicle’s negative battery terminal. 2. Remove the fuses from both of the in-line fuse holders. 3. Connect the Red wire to the 12 Volt +/ACC terminal in the vehicle’s fuse box. See vehicle’s owner’s manual for fuse box diagram. 4. For the ground cable locate an area of metal on the vehicle’s body/firewall that does not have any vehicle components behind it. Sand off any paint to reveal bare metal, this area will be your chassis ground. 5. Drill a hole for the supplied self tapping sheet metal screw. Make sure there are not any vehicle components on the other side of where you are drilling the hole. 6. Attach the grounding cable to the chassis ground with the self-tapping sheet metal screw. 7. Next you will need to locate the vehicle’s reverse light circuit and splice the blue wire into it using the supplied in-line wire connectors. For help locating the vehicle’s reverse light circuit contact your vehicle’s manufacturer for vehicle specific wiring diagrams. 12 Volt Cigarette Lighter Adaptor Using the Monitor’s ON/OFF Button 1. Choose a route for the cable from the monitor to the cigarette lighter socket. It can be a direct route with the wire exposed or a route around the dashboard hidden under the vehicle’s interior trim. When using a direct route for the power cable make sure the power cable is secured and will not interfere with the operation of the vehicle. When routing the power cable behind the vehicle’s interior trim be careful not to cut the wire on and sharp edges or pinch and damage the cable when re-installing the trim. 2. Plug the end of the power cable into the monitor, 3. Plug the 12 Volt cigarette lighter adaptor into the cigarette lighter socket. 4. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the monitor.

For the ground cable locate an area of metal on the vehicle’s body/firewall that does not have any vehicle components behind it. Sand off any paint to reveal bare metal, this area will be your chassis ground. 5. Drill a hole for the supplied self tapping sheet metal screw. Make sure there are not any vehicle components on the other side of where you are drilling the hole. 6. Attach the grounding cable to the chassis ground with the self-tapping sheet metal screw. 7. Plug the power cord into the monitor. 8. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the monitor.

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. To adjust the angle that the camera is mounted to the vehicle use the supplied wedge shaped shims. Fig.1 1. Remove the license plate bolts/screws from the rear license plate. (Fig.1) 2. Put the license plate bolts through the holes on the camera’s mounting bracket. 3. Place the supplied wedges over the bolts, then put the bolts through the holes on the license plate Fig.2 that will line up with the holes on the vehicle. The wedges should angle the camera down. (Fig.2) 4. Temporarily tighten the license plate bolts/screws. 5. The camera’s power cable will have to be routed through the vehicle’s body to an area where the reverse light circuit is. Some vehicle’s may have a hole available to pass the wire through, you can use an existing opening (Fig.3) like where a license plate light is mounted, or drill a hole close to where the power cable is attached to the camera. (Fig.4) Fig.3 Fig.4 Installation Installation 10. Once you have located the reverse light circuit you will have to route the camera’s power cable to that location. You must sucurely fasten the power cable to prevent it from being caught on any vehicle component such as the trunk hinge. Never route the cable on the outside of the vehicle. 1. Reattach the vehicle’s negative battery cable. 2. Reinstall the in-line fuses. 3. Turn the ignition key to the accessory position, do not start the vehicle. 4. Engage the parking brake, then put the shifter in the reverse position. 5. Turn the monitor ON by pressing the ON/OFF button on the monitor. 6. Look at the monitor, if the image does not match your rear view mirror press the top button on the monitor to correct the image. 11. 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 wire is the negative wire. 12. After determining which wire is the positive and which is the negative, turn off the ignition key, then remove the battery’s negative cable. 13. Following the Scotch-Lok® instructions, splice the one end of the in-line fuse holder using the supplied in-line Scotch-Lok® wire connectors to the reverse light’s positive(+) wire, then splice the red wire of the camera’s power cable to the other end of the in-line fuse holder. 14. Next splice the black wire of the camera’s power cable to the reverse light’s negative(-) wire. Secure all wires with cable ties or electrical tape. CAMERA Wiring Diagram Using an Existing Opening for Access Drilling an Access Hole 6. If you able to use an exsiting opening tighten the license plate bolts, then route the power cable into the vehicle. Skip the next two steps. 7. 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. 8. After you have drilled a hole, insert the supplied grommet(Fig.5), then pass the power cable through the grommet into the vehicle (Fig.6). You must use the grommet to prevent the metal edge of the hole from cutting the power cable. Fig.5 A+ Forward +A Mirror A+ Forward Upside Down Mirror Upside Down These different views allow you to mount the camera and/or monitor either right side up or upside down and still display the image correctly on the monitor. After testing the unit and you are satisfied with the route you have chosen for the cabling, you must permanently install it. Fully tighten the license plate bolts. Route all wires behind interior panels or under carpeting so they are hidden. Use supplied cable ties to neatly gather all excess wire. GIVE US A CALL, WE'LL HELP YOU INSTALL.

The camera will come on when the vehicle is started when wired this way. Fig.6 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. There are four different views for the monitor, each time the button is pressed the image will change. Visit us on the WEB Scotch-Lok® Instructions 9.
