The AUTO-VOX W12 system is designed for a quick and easy installation, typically completed within 30 minutes. Follow these steps for proper setup:

3.1 Camera Installation

2. Route the Cable: Carefully route the camera's power cable through a suitable opening near the license plate into the vehicle's interior, typically through the trunk or tailgate.

3.2 Wiring the Camera

The camera requires connection to your vehicle's reverse light for power. This ensures the camera activates automatically when you shift into reverse.

1. Access Reverse Light Wiring: Locate and access the wiring for your vehicle's reverse light. This may involve removing a tail light assembly or interior trim panels.
2. Identify Wires: Using a multimeter, identify the positive (+) and negative (-) wires for the reverse light. The positive wire will show 12V when the vehicle is in reverse, and the negative wire is the ground.
3. Connect Power: Connect the red wire from the camera's power cable to the positive (+) reverse light wire. Connect the black wire from the camera's power cable to the negative (-) ground wire. Ensure secure connections using appropriate connectors or electrical tape.

3.3 Monitor Installation

1. Attach Mount: Secure the monitor mount to a clean, flat surface on your dashboard or windshield, ensuring it does not obstruct your view.
2. Mount Monitor: Attach the 5-inch monitor to the installed mount.
3. Power the Monitor: Plug the USB boost cable into your car's USB port or a 12V cigarette lighter adapter (not included if not USB). The monitor will automatically pair with the camera.
