- Use the provided mounting bracket and hardware to firmly attach the main display unit. Ensure it is angled for optimal viewing.
4.2 Installing Cameras
- Front Camera: Mount the front camera securely at the front of your motorcycle, ensuring a clear, unobstructed view of the road ahead.
- Rear Camera: Mount the rear camera at the back of your motorcycle, providing a clear view of the rear.
- Route the camera cables carefully, avoiding moving parts, heat sources, and pinch points. Ensure all connections are secure and waterproof.
4.3 Installing TPMS Sensors
- The system includes three external TPMS sensors. Install one sensor on each tire valve stem of your three-wheeler motorcycle.
- Ensure the sensors are tightened securely to prevent air leaks.
- The sensors will automatically pair with the main unit once powered on.
4.4 Connecting the GPS Module
- Connect the GPS module to the designated port on the main display unit.
- Mount the GPS module in a location with a clear view of the sky, away from metal obstructions, to ensure optimal signal reception.
4.5 Wiring the Power Kit
- The system is hard-wired to your motorcycle's battery. Connect the hardwire power kit according to your motorcycle's wiring diagram.
- Ensure proper polarity and secure connections to prevent electrical issues.
- The system will automatically power on/off with the ignition.
