Before drilling please check that no cable or wiring is on the other side of the wall. Please clamp all wires securely to reduce the possibility of them being damaged while vehicle is in use. Keep all cables away from hot or moving parts and electrical noisy components. We recommend doing a benchmark test before installation to insure that all components are working properly. Step 1: Choose the monitor and camera locations. BEFORE YOU BEGIN Step 2: Install all cables in vehicle, when necessary a 0.
Replacement Monitor The mirror monitor replaces the existing car mirror. Carefully remove the mirror off the “pin”. Slide the replacement mirror on to the pin and secure it with the screw provided (already in the screw hole).Different cars have different brackets, depending on your vehicle make and manufacturer. There are many methods to remove the original rearview mirror, however, please don’t force the mirror off the bracket.
INSTALLATION GUIDE + TIPS Wiring After connecting the camera to the “camera cable” the camera should be plugged into AV2 input. Connect the RED 12V power wire to a an ignition power source and the BLACK 12V ground wire to a chassis ground. The GREEN wire is the REVERSE trigger wire. Connect this wire to the vehicle’s backup light circuit to activate the rear-view image whenever the vehicle shifts into reverse.
ADJUSTABLE GRID LINE Grid Lines Generally, to help drivers estimate the distance from obstacles, there are three lines for reference- red, yellow, and green. Those three lines are displayed on the monitor when car is reversing. The green line is 3M from the back of the car and the yellow line is 6.5 ft. The distant red line is 1M from the backside of car while the closed red line is 0.4M. Both reference lines on the left and right should leave 0.2M space from the car.

Digital Compass Calibration DIGITAL COMPASS CALIBRATION The compass can be calibrated by driving your vehicle in several complete circles. See figures below. If the vehicle’s compass headings become inaccurate, the compass can also be manually calibrated: 1.Press the “MENU” three times to enter into “SETTING” menu, and press “SEL/REC” button to choose the “ANGLE”. you can press “UP”“DOWN” to adjust the angle. Please visit: http://magnetic-declination.com/ to find out the compass angle of your area. 5-1.
Caution 1. Make sure the rear view mirror is clearly visable to the driver before calibration. 2. Do not calibrate the compass near a large truck. 3. Make sure that you drive in several complete circles, the steering wheel needs to reach a certain angle for calibration to function properly. The diameter of the driving circle should be close to 5 meters. 4. Do not drive too fast when calibrating, your pace should be equal to one third normal adult walking speed.
Q&A TEMPERATURE SETTING Q: Why does the compass need to be calibrated? A: The magnetism of a car is stronger than the magnetism of the Earth. The compass will only function properly if it is calibrated to the magnetic conditions of Earth. Q: Why is compass not accurate in some areas? A: In some areas, such as iron mines, high-intensity magnetic fields change the Earth’s magnetism. Q: Why are old cars more difficult to calibrate than new cars? A: The older a car is, the more magnetized it will be.
Temperature Sensor Installation Locate the temperature sensor between the front of the radiator and the front bumper. Slide the metal clip over the edge of the sheet metal or plasic shield until it is secure. Do not install the temperature sensor near the engine. We do not recommend using the compass in an area with high magnetic lines of flux. For example, in the north of Canada.
