Ok monitor came a day early. [emoji122] Couldn't wait to get it installed. Used the splitters power, red wire, and ground, white wire. It has power now. [emoji2] thanks Dave[emoji106] Then followed Dino's wiring plan, blk/bro for reverse, yellow for left signal, and green for right. All worked great. Taped up the purple wire not used.
Monitor comes on with the ignition and i set it to show back up on left half of screen, left camera upper right and right camera lower right.
Was going to use nut/bolt and aluminum backing plate for the mount but there was some wood dash supports in the way. Used the provided screws and found it was very secure. If i find the screws loosening up ill replace them with the bolts.
Used wire cutters to cut the removable dash cover and ran the wire harness there. No dash drilling needed. I still want to reinforce the cable but for now it's ok. The cable doesnt move and it shouldnt cause any wear. Ill see what i can find at home depot.
To remove the monitor I'll
need to remove the dash cover to get to the plug, but that's easy.
Over easy mod thanks to old golds original post and Dino for being the first of us doing it. Now i need to find a padded case to store the monitor and my tpms unit.
Maria and i are very happy with this mod.
