6.2 INSTALLATION
These instructions are only valid as an example due to the various vehicle types and cannot be directly used for every vehicle.
6.2.1 CHECKING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION FOR SUITABILITY
Before you start with the installation, check whether the location chosen is suitable for installation of the rear view camera. Therefore hold both camera
holders (item 9 in the overview), as precisely as possible over the rear license plate. The number plate and the number plate lighting must not be covered
by the camera. The camera and the holder must not block the boot during closing. The camera can be mounted over or under the number plate. The
camera must be mounted so that the cable connection is located above.
6.2.2 REMOVING THE REAR NUMBER PLATE
First remove the rear number plate and, if present, also the number plate holder of your vehicle.
6.2.3 PASS THROUGH FOR THE CAMBER CABLE
If there is no opening behind the number plate that can be used for passing through the camera cable, you must drill a 10 mm diameter hole to lay the
cable in the interior. In this case first remove the interior lining of the boot.
Check whether there are cables, wires or other components located at the position selected, which could be damaged by the drilling.
When the hole for the cable to pass through has been drilled, protect the bare areas of the sheet metal with rust protection paint or other suitable paint.
6.2.4 MOUNTING THE CAMERA
Connect the camera to the camera holders, item 9 in the overview, refer to Figure 2. For this use
the bolts, item 5 in the overview and the nuts, item 6 in the overview. Do not tighten the bolts
yet. Place the number plate or the number plate holder on the camera holders. Align the camera
holders so that the fastening holes of the number plate or the number plate holder can be used.
During this both number plate holders must be no further apart than 4 cm, Figure 3.
Now tighten the bolts.
The gasket, item 8 in the overview, has a collar on one side. This collar must later lie on the outside
of the vehicle metal. Now insert the camera cable through the gasket from the collar side. Now
insert the camera cable with the gasket through the hole behind the number plate. Set the
number plate or the number plate carrier on the camera holders and mount this combination
back on your vehicle.
6.2.5 CONNECTING THE CAMERA
Select a suitable installation location for the transmitter, item 11 in the overview. Here it is possibly necessary to remove parts of the lining in the boot or
in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The installation location must not be too far removed from the camera and the rear light, pay attention to
the cable lengths. In addition the transmitter must be placed as close as possible to the receiver (monitor), without metallic components, body metal, ribs
and reinforcements being able to negatively influence the radio transmission. Fasten the transmitter, e.g. with cable ties. Lay the cable so that it cannot
be bent, pinched or stretched.
Caution: For the next step, working on the electrical system of the vehicle, it is necessary to unclamp the battery. This could cause, for
example, the radio code, data of the on-board computer or other settings to be lost. To do this, read the user's manual of your vehicle or ask
the vehicle manufacturer.
Disconnect the battery. Look for the positive and negative cable for the backup light. Connect the red positive cable of the transmitter with the aid of the
clamp connector. Item 7 in the overview, with the positive cable of the backup light. Connect the black negative cable of the transmitter to the negative
cable of the backup light. Proceed as shown in Figures 4 to 6.
