Step 1: Place Camera Mount in desired position to
confirm fitment. (IMPORTANT: Some states
prohibit items blocking the vehicle license plate;
check local authorities to confirm legal status for
your specific application).
Note: The rear trim of several GM vehicles such as
the Chevy Equinox and Cadillac CTS have slight
depressions (indicated by the arrow below) where
factory installed rear view cameras are mounted.
These positions are ideal camera locations.
Step 2: Peel adhesive backing from supplied
Camera Mount Template and apply to desired
location making sure camera direction is correct.
Step 3: Use a Center Punch to mark the centers of
the required (3) holes and drill (3) pilot holes using
a 1/8” Drill Bit. NOTE: If your vehicle has a liftgate
panel/trunk trim cover, it must be removed.
Step 4: Drill (2) 5/16” holes for the supplied
camera Bolts and (1) 5/8” hole for the Camera
Harness. Use a Deburring Tool or Round File to
smooth edges.
Step 5 (if necessary): Using a 5/8” Drill Bit, drill an
opening in the trunk or liftgate for the head of the
Camera Harness to pass through. Insert Camera
Harness head through the backside of the hole so
that the gray connector end of the Camera Harness
is inside the trunk or liftgate. (RECOMMENDED:
Protect Camera Harness with a rubber grommet or
by applying a small amount of silicone caulk to the
area that comes into contact with the edges of the
hole. Additional recommendation: If drilling
through sheet metal, apply a Corrosion Inhibitor.)
Step 6: Route head of Camera Harness through the
pass-through you made with the Template.
Step 7: Use a Phillips Screwdriver to remove the (2)
Screws provided in the Camera to secure the head
of the Camera Harness onto the Camera.
NOTE: If self-adhesive Template is missing or
damaged, cut out the image above and affix
with Masking Tape.
