Materials Needed:
Before you begin, make sure you have the following materials ready:

5. Screws and nuts
6. Drill and drill bits (if necessary)
7. Screwdriver
8. Pliers
Step 1: Choose the Right Location
Select a suitable location for the camera on the rear of your vehicle. The camera should be placed in a position that provides a clear view of the area behind your vehicle. Common locations include the license plate, trunk, or rear bumper.
Step 2: Mount the Camera
Attach the mounting bracket to the chosen location using screws and nuts. Make sure the bracket is securely fastened and level. If necessary, use a drill and drill bits to create holes for the screws.
Step 3: Connect the Camera to the Power Adapter
Attach the power adapter to the camera and plug it into the power outlet in your vehicle. Ensure that the power adapter is firmly connected to both the camera and the outlet.
Step 4: Connect the Camera to the Display Screen
Connect the wire harness from the camera to the display screen in your vehicle. This process may vary depending on your vehicle’s make and model. Refer to your vehicle’s manual or consult a professional if needed.
Step 5: Install the Display Screen
Mount the display screen in a convenient location within your vehicle, such as the dashboard or center console. Secure the screen using the mounting bracket and screws provided.
Step 6: Test the System
Start your vehicle and turn on the reverse gear. The wireless reverse camera should now be active, and the display screen should show a clear image of the area behind your vehicle. If the image is not clear, adjust the camera’s position or check the connections.
Step 7: Final Touches
Ensure that all wires are neatly tucked away and not obstructing any vehicle components. Double-check that the camera, power adapter, and display screen are securely mounted.
