3.2 Amplifier Connection

If your original radio has a factory amplifier, use the power harness with the AMP-DET wire. Connect the amp cable from the RCA cable to the AMP-DET cable of the power harness. Failure to do so will result in no sound. If your original radio does NOT have a factory amplifier, use the Non-AMP-DET power harness directly.

Connect the provided backup camera to the designated video input on the head unit. Ensure the camera's power cable is connected to the vehicle's reverse light circuit so it activates automatically when shifting into reverse gear.
