WIRING:
1. Carefully choose a hidden out-of-sight location for drilling the cable hole. Some vehicles may
have an existing hidden rubber grommet or plug available to avoid having to drill into the body.
Be sure to double-check for any wiring or obstructions behind the surface where you are going to
drill the cable hole. Make sure to seal the hole using silicon or caulking to prevent moisture
damage.
2. Choose a convenient place to run the camera cable up the left, right or center of the vehicle. As
a rule of thumb, try to avoid main factory harness looms that may contain high levels or RF noise
or interference.
3. You can connect the camera power at the rear of the vehicle behind the reverse lights. You may
also connect power inside the vehicle under the dash or in the trunk. The Red power wire goes to
Reverse Light +12V, and the Black wire to Ground.
4. The other pair of Red and Black wires is for license plate illumination. Connect the Red wire to
the +12 volt license plate illumination wire in the factory light harness, and connect the Black wire
to the Ground wire in the license plate illumination harness
5. Run the Yellow RCA video cable to the monitor’s video input or reverse camera input.
