The DRIVEN DRWC4.3 is a wireless reverse camera kit designed to provide a clear view behind your vehicle while reversing. This system utilizes the latest digital technology to ensure durability, reliability, and a straightforward DIY installation process. It's suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including RVs, thanks to its long-distance wireless transmission capabilities.
Function Description:
The primary function of the DRWC4.3 kit is to enhance safety and convenience when backing up a vehicle. It consists of a wireless camera that captures the rear view and transmits it digitally to a monitor mounted inside the vehicle. This allows the driver to see obstacles, other vehicles, or pedestrians that might otherwise be in a blind spot, thereby reducing the risk of accidents. The system is designed for easy installation, with the monitor plugging into a cigarette lighter socket and the camera connecting to the vehicle's 12V DC power supply. The wireless digital signal ensures a stable and clear image, even over longer distances, making it particularly useful for larger vehicles like RVs and trailers. The monitor also features adjustable brightness and image flipping to accommodate various mounting orientations and lighting conditions. Reversing lines can be toggled on or off to assist with parking and maneuvering.

Usage Features:
The DRWC4.3 is designed for user-friendly operation.
- Monitor Installation: The monitor can be easily mounted on the dashboard or window screen using the supplied suction cup. It's recommended to choose a location that provides clear visibility without obstructing the driver's view of the road. The monitor is powered by plugging its cigarette lighter plug into the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
- Camera Installation: The camera is typically installed at the highest point of the rear outer panel of the RV or trailer. Many modern RVs are prewired with a 12V DC power supply cable hidden behind a camera mount cover, simplifying installation. For vehicles without pre-wiring, a power supply cable needs to be carefully routed, avoiding areas affected by heat or abrasion, and properly fused at its origin.
- Pairing: After installation, the camera and monitor need to be paired. The monitor has a "K3" button for entering camera pairing mode.
- Screen Adjustments:
- Brightness (K1 button): Allows adjustment of the screen brightness. Repeated presses cycle through brightness levels, resetting to 1 after reaching maximum.
- Image Flipping (K2 button): Cycles the image left, right, up, and down to match the camera's orientation, which is useful depending on how the camera is mounted.
- Reversing Lines (K3 button): After successful pairing, holding the K3 button for 3 seconds toggles the reversing lines on or off on the screen, aiding in parking and maneuvering.
- Standard Operation: Once installed and paired, turn on the ignition and ensure the RED power button on the monitor's cigarette plug is switched on. The image from the camera should then be visible on the monitor. If no image appears, check all wiring connections.
Maintenance Features:
- Durability: The system is built with durability in mind, utilizing digital technology and an IP67 weatherproof rating for the camera, ensuring it can withstand various environmental conditions.
- Cleaning: Before mounting the monitor, it's recommended to clean the chosen location with alcohol wipes to ensure it is dust and grease-free, promoting a secure suction cup attachment.
- Continuous Improvement: The manufacturer notes that due to continuous improvement of the product, specifications are subject to change without notice, implying ongoing efforts to enhance the device's performance and reliability.
- Warranty: The product comes with a limited warranty of one (1) year from the original purchase date, covering defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. This warranty ensures that any defective units will be repaired or replaced at the manufacturer's discretion. However, the warranty does not cover misuse, abuse, neglect, accident, or unauthorized alterations or servicing. For warranty service, customers are advised to contact their retailer or visit the drivenelectronics.com website.
