Installation Steps:

1. Prepare Vehicle: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the ignition. Disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery to prevent electrical issues.
2. Remove Original 3rd Brake Light: Carefully remove the screws or clips securing the original 3rd brake light assembly on the rear of your Nissan NV200. Disconnect its electrical connector.
3. Install Camera Unit: Connect the new Aramox Backup Camera's electrical connector to the vehicle's wiring harness, ensuring a secure connection. Mount the camera unit into the opening where the original brake light was, securing it with the original screws or clips.
4. Route Cables: Route the video cable from the camera through the vehicle's interior to the location of your display monitor (e.g., rearview mirror monitor, aftermarket head unit). Ensure cables are tucked away safely and do not interfere with moving parts or pinch points.
5. Connect to Display: Connect the RCA video output from the camera to the video input of your display monitor. Connect the power cable for the camera to a 12V power source that is activated when the vehicle is in reverse (typically the reverse light circuit).
6. Test System: Reconnect the vehicle's battery. Turn on the ignition and engage reverse gear. Verify that the camera image appears on your display and that the parking assistance lines are visible.
7. Final Securement: Once confirmed operational, ensure all connections are secure and all trim panels are reinstalled.
