These instructions only pertain to functions on the supplied mirror and do not support other vehicle features.
Test Mirror
Set parking brake, start vehicle, and shift into Reverse. If image appears in the LCD display, all
connections have been made properly.
Camera Requirements
The camera signal must be strong enough for the mirror to detect signal when reverse is engaged. We
recommend that the camera be connected to mirror prior to installation to confirm compatiblity. Best results
are on cameras that have a 0.8- 1.6v DC coming out of video composite lead (commonly a yellow RCA jack).
Depending on camera output it may require reverse to be supplied by a 12v switched ignition rather than
reverse feed. To test this use a multimeter set to DC and connect the (-) lead to the camera RCA shield and
the (+) lead to the camera RCA tip with the camera powered ON.
Powering Up the Camera
The mirror stays ON for over 1 second when reverse is disengaged, and if the camera is connected to the
reverse tail lamp then the screen will flash Blue. If the camera does not power up instantly when the vehicle is
shifted into reverse, the screen will not detect the camera and will not display an image. For these reasons we
recommend that the camera be connected to Ignition (+).
Mirror Operation
1. To dim, push tab on bottom of mirror forward. Pull tab backward to undim mirror.
2. Temporary Monitor Manual Shut Down:
If while in reverse you require to turn OFF the camera monitor, simply press and release the POWER
button on the back side of the mirror. (Note: once reverse is disengaged the mirror will go back to
normal operation and will turn ON next time reverse is engaged).
NOTE 1: Mirror Voltage Requirements: The supplied Mirror must see a voltage of 12.5v DC or better on the Reverse trigger lead. In the event the
signal is too low the signal quality may be affected drastically when vehicle is running.
To correct low Reverse signal power, the voltage must be raised using a Single Pull Dual Throw Relay.
Relay Wiring:
30 To mirror Reverse trigger (Green lead)
85 Chassis Ground
86 Reverse trigger from vehicle (reverse lamp)
87 High current Ignition controlled power lead +
87a
Not used
Connect the rest of Mirror Harness wires as instructed above.
NOTE 2: For Ford vehicles only: If the vehicle has a separate display on the IP for the compass and it displays “– –“ after the OE mirror is removed,
further steps are necessary in order for it to function again. You must supply two 9’ 20-gauge wires (recommended: one red and one yellow).
Splice the wires to the location from which you removed the vehicle’s mirror connector and splice their opposite ends to the vehicle’s mirror
connector that will be relocated along with the mirror circuit board. For more details, refer to Section 6 of 1008-9520 kit instructions at
