- For cameras requiring screws (e.g., Figure 2), mark the screw positions, drill pilot holes if necessary, and secure the camera with the provided screws.
- Route Cables: Carefully route the camera cables to the main dash cam unit. Ensure cables are tucked away neatly and do not interfere with vehicle operation or safety features. Avoid sharp edges or areas with high heat.
- Connect to Main Unit: Plug the camera cables into the corresponding ports on your T66/T88/T99/T3/ZW3 dash cam unit. Refer to your main dash cam manual for specific port locations.

- Attach Antenna: Use the adhesive backing on the GPS antenna (e.g., Figure 6) to secure it in place.
- Route Cable: Route the GPS antenna cable to the main dash cam unit, ensuring it is neatly hidden and does not obstruct vision or controls.
