Installation
Prior to installing your backup camera, test all components using your vehicle
power or an external power supply to ensure proper functionality.
Install the backup camera
Step1: Remove the license plate.
Step2: Find the installation location and clean it with a microfiber cleaning cloth and alcohol (To ensure the camera stick firmly).
Step3: You can install the camera above/below your license plate. When you install ii below, flip the image vertically up/down in the setting menu if the image upside down.
Step4: Fix your license plate with screws.
Steps: Hole for camera cable. Look for an opening or drill a hole near the license plate to thread the camera cable into the interior of the vehicle.
For good visibility and easy installation, we would recommend you to remove the interior trim near the license plate.
Step6: Connect the camera cable. Connect the camera cable to the 4-pin socket of the power box. Make sure the cables are not pinched or knotted.
Step7: Connect the power box wire.
- Open the inner plastic panel and remove it from the hatch or tailgate. (The panels are usually attached to the tailgate by clips. This may take a bit longer time to avoid clip damages. Once this panel is removed, the rest of the work will be easy to finish.)
- Find the power wire (positive) of reversing light and connect it to the power box red wire. Then connect the black wire of the power box to the ground (iron part of the vehicle).
How to find the reverse light (Positive)?
a. Switch the key to ACC position, then shift your vehicle into R-gear.
b. Prepare a test light, connect the clip or clamp to a known ground source, then use the pointed end to pierce the plastic insulation on your wires to check if power is present. If the bulb of the test light illuminates confirming the wire has power, it might be the reverse light wire.
c. Shift your vehicle into another gear. Test all the wires which have power in R-gear again, if the bulb turns off, the wire should be the positive pole of the reverse light.
Note: For the best performance, we recommend placing the antenna vertically and not placing it in an airtight environment.
Step8: Run the power box cable. Secure the camera cable and power box cable with cable ties in the rear carriage. To avoid interference of the transmission, make sure there are no electrical loads or metal between the monitor and antenna.
Step9: Check the connection of the power box. First, engage the hand brake and be sure the vehicle is not shifted into gear. Vehicles with automatic transmission must be in “P” for parking lock. Turn the ignition to ON (II) but do not start the engine. Put the car charger into cigarette lighter to power on the monitor. If the power box is correctly connected, the camera signal will be transmitted to the monitor while reversing, and the monitor will display the camera image.
Note: The above wiring also applies to the second camera. The red wire should be connected to a positive electrode and the black wire should be connected to a ground wire. You can also connect the camera to other ACC power supplies or external power supplies.
Install the monitor
Step1: Connect the antenna to the monitor.
Step2: Open the locking screw and adjust the monitor to the desired
viewing angle then tighten the locking screw to secure the monitor.
Step3: Clean the area of the windshield or dashboard where you would like to mount your monitor. Press the suction cup against the mounting surface and push the suction cup lock lever down to lock the suction cup in place.
Step4: Connect the car charger with the monitor. Plug the car charger into 12V/24V power port in your vehicle.
Note: For a clean installation, you can hide the charging cable into the decorative seam around the edge of the dashboard, and if necessary, bundle the additional wires with a cable tie. The location of the monitor must not obstruct the visibility of the driver.
