Installing the CAMSBAR on the License Plate 1. 2. 3. Remove the rear license plate to determine the best way to run the power wires to the reverse lights. It is important to use the Reverse lights and not the license plate illumination lamp or other lamps. The system is designed to come on when the vehicle is in reverse gear only. Improper installation can cause the system to operate incorrectly or to run at undesired times. NOTE: All vehicles are designed differently.

Generally, the Positive wire on the reverse lamp will be a colored wire and the Negative wire will be black. Wiring the Power to the Vehicle’s Reverse Lamp 1. Locate the reverse lamp in the tail light assembly. You may be able to access the wires for the lamp from within the trunk, behind a panel, or depending on your vehicle you may have to remove the tail lamp.
Monitor Wiring 1. 2. 3. 4. Using the supplied Monitor Signal Wire, Plug one end into the Power / signal cable from the bar. The monitor signal wire can be routed through the car to your chosen location for the monitor by either removing the trim panels at the foot of the door sill or by tucking the wire behind the trim panels at the roof of the vehicle. Use caution to insure you do not pinch the wire or obstruct any safety devices such as side airbags.
Operating the System The CAMSBAR Vehicle Rear Observation System with Integrated Parking Sensors operates when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. The color monitor will activate and show you the view from the camera in the rear of the vehicle. In addition, the back up sensor system is designed to send out an ultra sonic signal that detects obstructions behind your vehicle for an average of 6 feet. If an object is located, the system will sound the buzzer.
