• 1. Camera and monitor
• 2. Pre-made wires with connectors
• 3. Fuses (2 PCs.) at 0.5 A
• 4. Screwdriver

Instruction

1. Before beginning of all work, remove the positive battery terminal.
2. Consider the Luggage: regardless of the model, the camera should be the wires (connectors) power and videoyoustroke. Most often recommended to bring power to the camera from the rear of the stroke, with the result that the camera will work only when reversing. Rear view camera is designed for short-term use, and failure to do so can drastically reduce its service life.
3. Connect the red camera wire to the positive terminal of a lantern of a back stroke. If the camera wire there is no fuse, install it. The fuse should be a nominal 0.5 A, and be located as close as possible to connection point.
4. Black (negative) wire the camera connect to the back of the car. For example, under appropriate and pre-stripped bolt. The fuse for the black wire is not required.
5. Most cameras are equipped with a yellow five-meter wire to connect to a monitor with typical audiovideocenter connector. If the cable length is not enough to strip the interior of the car, get an extension cable with the connector of connectors. You can purchase a suitable cable and to solder the necessary connectors.
