5. Remove the A-Pillar trim panel; this may require the removal of 2 x 10mm bolts. Route the OPSIS power cable over to the driver
side of the vehicle, up the A-Pillar (Fig. E) and across the front of the headliner (Fig. F & G) so that it exits the headliner at the
factory notch above the rearview mirror. NOTE: When routing cables near the side curtain airbag, be sure to route them in a
way that will not impact the airbags’ ability to deploy in the event of an accident.

7. Clean and dry the mounting location with an alcohol pad prior to mounting camera. Slide the camera into the mount and
secure it to the windshield using the pre-installed adhesive pad on the mount (Fig. A). It is recommended to mount the dash
cam behind the rear view mirror in a manner to not obstruct the view of the driver while positioning the camera lens as close
to the center of the vehicle and as level as possible. Connecting to the dash cam using the OPSIS smartphone app may be
necessary to ne tune the up and down adjustment so that the picture is adequate. Once the camera has been mounted be
sure to bundle and secure all left over cable (Fig. B).

For vehicles with combustion engines ONLY. For vehicles with electric motors ONLY.
8b. Locate the closest switched power Accessory
Power Receptacle (Cig Plug) and gain access to the
harness on the back side. Connect the provided power
receptacle “T” harness in-line with the factory harness
and the receptacle (Fig. D). Route the 10 pin Molex side
of the “T” harness to the OBDII area and connect it to
the mating 10 Pin Molex connector installed previously.

These next steps are only needed when installing the rear facing camera.
12. Using the techniques mentioned earlier, tuck and route the cable in the headliner from the front camera to the mounting
position of the rear camera. See Fig. A - D for clarication. NOTE: When routing cables near the side curtain airbag, be
sure to route them in a way that will not impact the airbags’ ability to deploy in the event of an accident.

13. Clean and dry mounting location with an alcohol pad prior to mounting camera. Mount the camera on the rear window using
the supplied adhesive on the camera. Keep in mind to not mount camera in a location that will interfere with rear view mirror
visibility. Connecting to the dash cam using the Stinger OPSIS smartphone app may be necessary to verify that the picture is
right side up and the entire rear of vehicle is in the frame. See Fig. E and F for clarication.

14. Ensure that any and all of the vehicle’s trim that may have been removed during the previous installation steps is
reinstalled.
9. With the vehicle’s ignition in the OFF position and the IGN-3F plugged in, the LED should be emitting a slow consistent ash.
The LED will change from a ashing state to being ON solid once you start the vehicle. When the LED is ON solid, a phantom
ignition signal will be sent to the dash cam to turn it on and will remain on during the event of a start/stop sequence. The LED and
dash cam will turn o 2 minutes and 30 seconds after the vehicle is shut down.
10. Using the included wire tie, secure the module and the factory OBD II junction under the dash or kick panel in a way that will
not impact the airbags’ ability to deploy in the event of an accident.
11. Ensure that any and all of the vehicle’s trim that may have been removed during the previous installation steps is reinstalled.
Steps 9 & 10 are for vehicles with combustion engines only.
