- Place a split washer on each bolt.
- Place a flat washer on each bolt.
- Insert the bolt assembly through the front camera mount, thorough the upper grille support.
- Place a second flat washer over the bolt and secure with the provided nut.

- Connect the RCA connections from the camera extension wire to the camera.
- We recommend securing with tape.
- Route the wires along the grille support towards the passenger side of the Jeep.

- Continue running the wires to the back of the radio.
- Once you have verified that your wire has reached the radio, secure the harness with zip ties as needed.
