3. Reinsert the license plate on the license plate bracket.
4. Choose a routing path for the camera's power cable through the vehicle's body to the
backup light circuit.
5. Some vehicles may have a hole available to pass the wire through the trunk, such as
where the license plate light is mounted. Otherwise you probably could drill a hole
close to where the power cable is attached to the camera. Once you have chosen
where the cable will enter the vehicle's body, remove the camera. If you are able to
use an existing opening, skip the next two steps.
6. Remove the license plate and camera before drilling. ATTENTION: Before drilling
any hole, remove the camera and the licence plate and carefully examine the
area around and behind the installation position. Make sure that there are no
parts that can be damaged (especially electrical cables, components of the
vehicle´s fuel system or any liquid tanks). Please take every reasonable
precaution. Choose a drill that is suitable for the supplied grommet and
material.
7. After drilling the hole, insert the supplied grommet and pass the camera cables
through the grommet into the vehicle.
8. Next you'll need to find the vehicle's backup lights. Turn the vehicle's ignition key to
the accessory position, engage the parking brake and go into reverse. Look at the
vehicle's tail lights to see where the reverse lights are located (usually the white
lights). To locate the backup light's 12V/24V (+) wire, it probably will be necessary to
gain access to the rear of the vehicle's taillight. For help locating the vehicle's reverse
light circuit contact your vehicle's manufacturer for vehicle specific wiring diagrams.
9. Once you have located the reverse light circuit you will have to route the camera
cable to that location. Securely fasten the power cable to prevent it from being
caught on any vehicle component such as the trunk hinge. Never route the cable on
the outside of the vehicle!
10. The reverse light sockets on most
vehicles have two wires connected to
them. Usually the negative wire is
black and the positive wire is a colored
wire. If you are uncertain about the
