vehicle specific questions, contact your vehicleʼs manufacturer.
Monitor Installation
When choosing a location to mount the monitor, make sure the monitor is in an area that will
not obstruct your vision while driving. It can be placed on the dashboard, or on the windshield
depending on the angle.
1. Temporarily place the moni-
tor stand in the location that
you have chosen. Make sure
the driverʼs vision is not ob-
structed in any way or any of
the vehicleʼs
2. Route the monitorʼs power
cable to the vehicleʼs fuse
block/box or cigarette lighter
socket/12V power outlet de-
pending 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
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 vehicleʼs cigarette lighter socket, and the other uses a wiring
harness hard wired to the vehicleʼs fuse box.
12 Volt Cigarette Lighter Adaptor Using the Monitorʼs 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 vehicleʼs inte-
rior 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 vehicleʼs interior trim be careful not to cut the wire on and sharp edges or pinch and dam-
age 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.
Hard Wired to Fuse Box Using the Monitorʼs ON/OFF Switch (Fig. 1)
1. Remove the negative battery cable from the vehicleʼs 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 vehicleʼs fuse box. See vehicleʼs
ownerʼs manual for fuse box diagram.
4. For the ground cable locate an area of metal on the vehicleʼs 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 ve-
hicle 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.

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 compo-
nents, 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.

10. Once you have located the reverse light circuit
you will have to route the cameraʼs power cable to
that location. You must sucurely fasten the power
cable to prevent it from being caught on any ve-
hicle component such as the trunk hinge. Never
route the cable on the outside of the vehicle.
11. The sockets for most vehicleʼs 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 doesnʼt come on, that wire is the negative wire.
12. After determining which wire is the positive and which is the negative, turn off the igni-
tion key, then remove the batteryʼs 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 lightʼs positive(+)
wire, then splice the red wire of the cameraʼs power cable to the other end of the in-line
fuse holder.
14. Next splice the black wire of the cameraʼs power cable to the reverse lightʼs negative(-)
wire. Secure all wires with cable ties or electrical tape.
1. Reattach the vehicleʼs 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.
There are four different views for the monitor, each time the button is pressed the image will
change.
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.

CAMERA WIRING DIAGRAM
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
cameraʼs mounting bracket.
3. Place the supplied wedges over the bolts, then put
the bolts through the holes on the license plate
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 cameraʼs power cable will have to be routed
through the vehicleʼs body to an area where the
reverse light circuit is. Some vehicleʼs 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)
CAMERA INSTALLATION
You may mount the camera using the license plateʼs top or bottom mounting bolts or
screws. When mounting the camera you must make sure that itʼs 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.

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.
9. Next youʼll need to find the vehicleʼs reverse lights. Turn the vehicleʼs ignition key to
the accessory position, engage the parking brake and put the car in reverse. Look at the
vehicleʼs tail lights to see where the reverse lights are located.
To locate the reverse lightʼs 12V+ wire it will be necessary to gain access to the rear of
the vehicleʼs tail light.
For help locating the vehicleʼs reverse light circuit contact your vehicleʼs manufacturer
for vehicle specific wiring diagrams.
