Remove the rear license plate. 2. Examine the vehicle to determine the best way to run the power wires to the reverse lights and the extension cable through the car. 3. The Camera can be mounted above or below the plate. (For surface mounting with the included bracket, see the next section.) Determine the mounting location that best suits your needs. Be sure to verify that your installation plan complies with local laws and requirements. Most states require that the state name, registration stickers, and license number are not obstructed in any way. 4. Place the camera bracket behind the license plate and line up the holes. Fasten the camera mounting bracket and the license plate to the vehicle using the anti-theft screws provided. After installation of screws with the tool provided, place the tool in the glove compartment or other safe place for future use. NOTE: If you decide to mount the camera at the bottom of the license plate, you must first remove the two screws that hold the camera to the bracket and flip the camera over so the picture will not be displayed up side down. 6 Surface Mounting Instructions 1. Find a suitable location on the vehicle where the bracket will not interfere with any equipment or doors, or block the line of sight. Verify that the planned mounting location is accessible from behind and that you have access to route the wiring inside the vehicle. Be sure that the mounting screws will not hit any wires or equipment inside the vehicle. 2. Attach the surface mounting bracket to the vehicle with the hardware included. 3. Route the camera wiring into the vehicle. The wire can be run through an existing grommet, behind a tail lamp, under the trunk molding, or if necessary, through a 5/8 inch hole drilled near the vehicle’s rear license plate. When choosing a wiring path, make sure the cable will not be damaged or pinched, as this may cause a short circuit that is not covered by the warranty. If drilling a hole, perform the following steps: a) Acquire a 5/8 inch drill bit, rust preventive, and a 5/8 inch rubber grommet, all of which can be purchased at a hardware store. b) Check behind the intended drilling location before drilling to verify that no wires or mechanisms can interfere with or be damaged during drilling. c) Check for interference with license plate lights and the hatch release switch and/or mechanism. d) Drill a 5/8 inch hole at the selected location. e) Coat the edge of the hole with rust preventative. f) Route the camera cable through the grommet and then through the hole. g) Insert the grommet in the hole to keep water from entering the vehicle. 4. Remove the camera from the license plate bracket and attach it to the surface mount bracket on the vehicle. 7 Wiring the Camera to the Vehi...
