8. Next you’ll need to find the vehicle’s reverse lights. Turn the vehicle’s ignition key to

the accessory position, engage the parking brake and put the car in reverse. Look

at the vehicle’s tail lights to see where the reverse lights are located.

To locate the reverse light’s 12V+ wire it will be necessary to gain access to the rear

of the vehicle’s tail light.

For help locating the vehicle’s reverse light circuit contact your vehicle’s

manufacturer for vehicle specific wiring diagrams.

9. Once you have located the reverse light circuit you

will have to route the camera’s power cable to that

location. You must securely fasten the power cable

to prevent it from being caught on any vehicle

component such as the trunk hinge (Fig.6). Never

route the cable on the outside of the vehicle.

10. The sockets for most vehicle’s reverse lights have two wires connected to them.

One is positive and one is negative, to determine which is positive you will need at

least a 12V test light available at any auto parts store, or a multi-meter. Using the

test light, attach the negative lead to a spot on the vehicle that has a chassis ground,

with the reverse light on touch the other lead to one of the wires on the reverse light

socket. When you touch one of the wires and the test light comes on that wire is the

positive wire, if the test light doesn’t come on, that wire is the negative wire.

11. After determining which wire is the positive and which is the negative, turn off the

ignition key, then remove the battery’s negative cable.

12. Following the Scotch- Lok

instructions, splice the Red wire using the in-line

Scotch-Lok

wire connectors to the reverse light’s positive (+) wire. Use a set of

slip joint pliers to squeeze the TAP and insure good connection.

13. Next splice the black wire of the camera’s power cable to the reverse light’s

negative (-) wire or ground.

14. Replace the reverse light bulb, then re-install the light socket. Secure all the wires

with cable ties or electrical tape. Re-attach the negative battery cable to the battery.
