Screwdriver to create a watertight seal but do not
over tighten.
Step 10: Mount the Camera using the supplied
hardware. Insert the two Rubber Well Nuts into the
outer 5/16” camera mount holes.
Step 11: Thread the two supplied Bolts through
the Camera Mount and into the Well Nuts using a
Phillips Screwdriver but do not tighten the Bolts all
the way down just yet.
Step 12: Determine location of vehicle power
and reverse from the chart on Pages 6 & 7.
Step 13: Route Camera Harness towards the
side of the vehicle that supplies power. It may
be necessary to remove sill plates, pillar covers,
seat bottoms, side panels, etc. In some cases even
the seatbelt bolts at the bottom of the pillars must
be removed.
CAUTION: Any bolts removed for safety devices
must be retightened to manufacturer’s specified
torque specifications). Use a plastic trim
removal tool to avoid damage to trim pieces.
Step 14: Connect Camera Harness to
supplied Chassis Harness.
The optimal location for this junction may occur at
the top of the liftgate or the inner edge of the
trunk. (Note: Most vehicles have existing wires
passing through this area; use this route if at all
possible).
Step 15: Route Chassis Harness forward. It
may be necessary to remove sill plates, pillar
covers, seat bases, side panels, etc. using a Plastic
Trim Removal Tool. In some cases, seatbelt bolts
must be removed. (CAUTION: Any bolts removed
for safety devices must be retightened to
manufacturer’s torque specifications).
Step 16: Secure Camera Harness to existing
vehicle wiring with supplied Wire Ties. This
will minimize chance of binding or otherwise
damaging the harness.
Step 17: Remove vehicle mirror. Unplug the
10-pin connector from the rear of the vehicle’s
mirror, use a T20 Torx bit to loosen the screw
securing the mirror, and slide the mirror off the
windshield mounting tab.
CAUTION: Removing the mirror can cause
damage to the windshield.
NOTE: Some vehicles have Mirror Mounting
Covers (the 2012 Equinox is shown below).
Refer to our application guide for affected
vehicles. If equipped, remove the cover with a
plastic trim tool. If the vehicle has a center
portion, remove it.
