The included 1080P rear camera provides essential visual guidance. Follow these steps for installation:
- Connect the red cable (1) of the camera to the positive (+) terminal of your vehicle's backup light.
- Connect the black cable (2) of the camera to the negative (-) terminal of your vehicle's backup light or a suitable ground point.
- Connect the camera's video output cable (3) to the 'CAM IN' input on the car radio.
- Locate the 'pin 3' wire on the car radio's harness (often labeled 'BACK' or 'REVERSE'). Peel off the protective adhesive and connect this wire (4) to the reversing cable (usually a short red wire extending from the video cable near the radio). This signal tells the radio to switch to the camera view when reverse gear is engaged.
