Voxx Electronics ACA800 - Installation Guide; License Plate Mounting

License Plate Mounting
1. Remove the rear license plate.
2. Examine the vehicle to determine the best way to run the power wires
to the reverse lights and the extension cable through the car.
3. The Camera can be mounted above or below the plate. (For surface
mounting with the included bracket, see the next section.) Determine
the mounting location that best suits your needs. Be sure to verify that
the installation plan complies with local laws and requirements. Most
states require that the state name, registration stickers, and license
number are not obstructed in any way.
4. Place the camera bracket behind the license plate and line up the
holes. Fasten the camera mounting bracket and the license plate to
the vehicle using the anti-theft screws provided. After installation of
screws with the tool provided, place the tool in the glove compartment
or other safe place for future use.
NOTE: If you decide to mount the camera at the bottom of the license
plate, you must first remove the screw that holds the camera to the
bracket and flip the camera over so the picture will not be displayed up
side down.
5. Route the camera wiring into the vehicle. The wire can be run through
an existing grommet, behind a tail lamp, under the trunk molding, or
if necessary, through a 5/16 inch hole drilled near the vehicle's rear
license plate. When choosing a wiring path, make sure the cable will
not be damaged or pinched, as this may cause a short circuit that is
not covered by the warranty. If drilling a hole, perform the following
steps:
A. Acquire a 5/16 inch drill bit and rust preventive, all of which can be
purchased at a hardware store.
B. Check behind the intended drilling location before drilling to verify that
no wires or mechanisms can will be damaged during drilling.
C. Check for interference with license plate lights and the hatch release
switch and/or mechanism.
D. Drill a 5/16 inch hole at the selected location.
E. Coat the edge of the hole with rust preventative.
F. Route the camera cable through the grommet and then through the
hole.
G. Insert the grommet in the hole to keep water from entering the vehicle.
