Step 1: Select and Install Camera Bracket

Determine which of the two supplied camera mounting methods you prefer.

License Plate Bracket

If using License Plate Bracket, remove license plate. Reattach license plate securing bracket behind.

Alternate Camera Mount Bracket

If using Alternate Camera Mount Bracket, remove camera from License Plate Bracket using supplied Allen wrench. Attach camera to the Alternate Camera Mount bracket and apply supplied self-adhesive foam to mount.

Use the Template included in the Installation Instruction Overview to position the Alternate Camera Mount on vehicle.

Clean vehicle surface to which mount is to be attached and affix with self-adhesive foam. RECOMMENDED: Permanent attachment using screws.

(Note: Some states prohibit items blocking the license plate; check local authorities to confirm legal status for your application).

Step 2: Measure, mark, and drill 1/4" hole for camera harness.

NOTE: If your vehicle has a liftgate panel/trunk trim cover, it must be removed.

Step 3: Determine location of vehicle power and ground.

Using a vehicle specific service guide and/or specific wiring diagram and a multi-meter or computer-safe test light, locate which side of the vehicle contains Ignition and Ground wires (Chart A).

Chart A: Wiring Information

CAUTION: Once correct wires have been identified, turn Ignition key OFF and DO NOT TURN key back ON until the install has been completed (Step 13).

Step 4: Splice the red and black Power Harness leads into the corresponding vehicle wires.

(Recommended: Soldering or T-taps as optional connection method). Also recommended is an eyelet for the ground connection.

Step 5: Insert the connector end of the Camera Harness through the hole you drilled.

(RECOMMENDED: Protect Camera Harness from sharp metal edges by applying a small amount of silicone caulk or a rubber grommet to the area that comes into contact with the metal).

Step 6: Route Camera Harness.

Continue routing harness to the side of the vehicle that supplies power and then forward.

Step 7: Connect Camera Harness to supplied Chassis Harness.

The optimal location for this junction may occur at the top of the liftgate or the inner edge of the trunk depending on vehicle in which installation is in.

(Note: most vehicles may already have existing wires passing through this area; use this route if at all possible).

Step 8: Route Chassis Harness.

It may be necessary to remove sill plates, pillar covers, seat bottoms, side panels, etc. In some cases even the seatbelt bolts at the bottom of the pillars must be removed.

CAUTION: Any bolts removed for safety devices must be retightened to manufacturer's specified torque specifications.

Use a plastic trim removal tool to avoid damage to trim pieces.

Step 9: Secure Camera Harness to existing vehicle wiring.

This will minimize the chance of binding or otherwise damaging the harness.

(Recommended: Wire Ties or Electrical Tape.)

Step 10: Connect Chassis Harness to supplied Power Harness.

Step 11: Install aftermarket display/ Navigation display as per instructions (if required).

Step 12: Connect the male RCA from the Power Harness to the "Camera IN" on the aftermarket display/ Navigation display.

Step 13: Test the system.

Inspect that all connections are proper and secure. Clear all loose items removed from the area around the vehicle and turn ignition key ON to test system.

Step 14: Adjust Camera angle (if necessary).

Loosen camera screw using supplied Allen wrench to aim the camera. Tighten screw at desired adjustment.

Step 15: Reassemble vehicle.

Follow your disassembly steps in reverse order, taking care not to bind the harness wiring when reinstalling.
