These instructions are only meant as a general guide due to the number of different makes & models. For vehicle specific questions contact your vehicle’s manufacturer.

Camera installation The camera can be tilted vertically to adjust the viewing angle. Make sure that its field of view is not obstructed. There are several ways to mount the camera on the back of your car. But the most convenient is to mount it near the license plate. Supplied is a mounting plate that can be fixed behind the license plate. The camera itself can fixed on this mounting plate.

Please note: At some vehicles it may not be possible to mount the camera near the license plate. You may have to find another spot at the back of your car to mount it.

1. Remove the rear license plate, and then loosen the license plate´s bolts/screws.

2. Position the supplied mounting plate (together with the camera) behind the license

plate bracket. Secure both license plate bracket and mounting plate with the license plate bracket bolts/screws.4

4. Choose a routing path for the camera’s power cable through the vehicle’s body to the

backup light circuit.

5. Some vehicles may have a hole available to pass the wire through the trunk, such as

where the license plate light is mounted. Otherwise you probably could drill a hole close to where the power cable is attached to the camera. Once you have chosen where the cable will enter the vehicle’s body, remove the camera. If you are able to use an existing opening, skip the next two steps.

6. Remove the license plate and camera before drilling. ATTENTION: Before drilling

any hole, remove the camera and the licence plate and carefully examine the area around and behind the installation position. Make sure that there are no parts that can be damaged (especially electrical cables, components of the vehicle´s fuel system or any liquid tanks). Please take every reasonable precaution. Choose a drill that is suitable for the supplied grommet and material.

7. After drilling the hole, insert the supplied grommet and pass the camera cables

through the grommet into the vehicle.

8. Next you’ll need to find the vehicle’s backup lights. Turn the vehicle’s ignition key to

the accessory position, engage the parking brake and go into reverse. Look at the vehicle’s tail lights to see where the reverse lights are located (usually the white lights). To locate the backup light’s 12V/24V (+) wire, it probably will be necessary to gain access to the rear of the vehicle’s taillight. For help locating the vehicle’s reverse light circuit contact your vehicle’s manufacturer for vehicle specific wiring diagrams.

9. Once you have located the reverse light circuit you will have to route the camera

cable to that location. Securely fasten the power cable to prevent it from being caught on any vehicle component such as the trunk hinge. Never route the cable on the outside of the vehicle!

10. The reverse light sockets on most

vehicles have two wires connected to them. Usually the negative wire is black and the positive wire is a colored wire. If you are uncertain about the wiring, you can use a 12V/24V multimeter available at most auto parts stores, to determine which is the positive wire. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the safe use of the multimeter.

11. After determining which wire is the positive and which is the negative, turn off the

reverse light’s positive (+) wire. Use a set of slip joint pliers to squeeze them and insure a good connection.

14. Reinstall the reverse light bulb and the light socket. Secure all the wires with cable

ties or electrical tape.

15. Re-attach the negative battery cable to the battery.

• to maximize the bond strength of the adhesive, it is recommended to applicate the tape under the following conditions:

• All surfaces must be clean, dry, dust and grease free.

• The adherents temperature should be between 21 and 38 degrees Celsius. Don´t applicate below 10 degrees or under direct sunlight.

• If possible, choose a mounting position where no direct sunlight can heat up the dashboard stand. B. Visor and Headrest Mount
