Quick Installation
The backup camera system is compatible with a wide range of vehicles and video display monitors.
This kit includes necessary wiring and cable connector accessories sufficient for typical connections. However, additional accessory cables and installation materials may be necessary for a completely secure and operational backup camera performance.
Connect the camera, using the red cable, of the DC 12V power cable, to the positive 12V reverse tail light in the rear of your car. You may need to temporarily remove an interior panel or other cover. Then, connect the black wire, of the DC 12V power cable, and ground it properly. This connected power and ground cable connects to the camera and will supply power to the camera directly. (Red wire is positive, black wire is negative)
Then use the included yellow RCA video connector cable, and run that cable to the yellow RCA video connector jack of the camera, to the RCA video connector of a compatible video display monitor.
The system includes an additional video input connection, so you will have the ability to connect an additional video input source. The input source is then selectable via a button on the mirror monitor assembly.
Connect the monitor using the included power and video wiring harness. Using the red cable, of the power and video wiring harness, connect to your vehicle’s fuse panel (preferably to the 12V ignition switch) ‐ which will only be powered when your vehicle is on, or activated by a key. Then connect the black wire, of the DC 12V input, and ground properly. The green wire, on the power and video wiring harness, is the 12V reverse gear positive trigger, which will provide a picture, to the mirror video monitor assembly, when the gear is placed in reverse. The power and video wiring harness then connect to the mirror video monitor assembly. This connection will supply power to the monitor directly.
