Step 9: Route Camera Harness towards the side of
the vehicle that supplies power. It may be
necessary to remove sill plates, pillar covers, seat
bottoms, side panels, etc. In some cases even the
seatbelt bolts at the bottom of the pillars must be
removed.
CAUTION: Any bolts removed for safety devices
must be retightened to manufacturer’s specified
torque specifications). Use a plastic trim
removal tool to avoid damage to trim pieces.
Step 10: Connect Camera Harness to supplied
Chassis Harness.
The optimal location for this junction may occur at
the top of the liftgate or the inner edge of the
trunk. (Note: Most vehicles have existing wires
passing through this area; use this route if at all
possible).
Step 11: Route Chassis Harness forward. It may
be necessary to remove sill plates, pillar covers,
seat bases, side panels, etc. using a Plastic Trim
Removal Tool. In some cases, seatbelt bolts must
be removed. (CAUTION: Any bolts removed for
safety devices must be retightened to
manufacturer’s torque specifications).
Step 12: Secure Camera Harness to existing
vehicle wiring with supplied Wire Ties. This will
minimize chance of binding or otherwise damaging
the harness.
Step 13: Remove vehicle mirror. Unplug the 16-
pin connector from the rear of the vehicle’s mirror,
use a T20 Torx bit to loosen the screw securing the
mirror, and slide the mirror off the windshield
mounting tab.
CAUTION: Removing the mirror can cause
damage to the windshield.
NOTE: Some vehicles have Mirror Mounting
Covers (the 2012 Equinox is shown below).
Refer to our application guide for affected
vehicles. If equipped, remove the cover with a
plastic trim tool. If the vehicle has a center
portion, remove it.
Next, using a Roto Tool remove the striped
area of the center cover as shown below.
The reworked cover is on the right.
