5. Locate a non-coated metal contact for the ground wire.

6. Before mounting, turn on the ignition and ensure the device is working correctly. When looking at the Remote Module, the LED should be on.

*Ensure both the Front and Rear cams are connected otherwise the system will not power on.

7. Remove the protective film from the mount and attach it to a place where the cameras can record both front and rearview.
