Installation Guide

System Connection Diagram

First, take a look at how the system components all connect together:

Recommended Installation Locations

• Camera: Close to rear marker lights, centered on vehicle
• Monitor: Dashboard area for easy viewing

Cable Connections

• Red wire to ignition hot (+) 12-32 volts
• Black wire to ground (-)
• Green trigger wire to backup light or backup beeper wire to activate monitor when in reverse

Powering the System

1. Connect the red wire (ACC+) to the fuse switch
2. Locate your vehicle’s circuit fuse box
