8. Plug the new camera pigtail into the factory harness.
9. Secure the cable inside the tailgate using zip ties, ensuring that it is clear of moving parts.
10. Once the camera has been tested replace the tailgate access cover.

Parking Guidelines note:
Note that the camera has the parking guidelines enabled by default. To remove the camera guidelines, make sure the power to the vehicle is off. Locate the looped white wire on the camera harness. There will be a black piece of tape as a marker. The wires may be tucked into the shrink tubing a little. Snip the looped white wire that is protruding from the shrink tube on the camera wire. once you cut the white looped wire, isolate each wire with electrical tape or shrink tubing so they're not touching. You will want to remove the guidelines if you will be using the dynamic guidelines that have been built into the display from the factory. The blue wire is not used in this application and should be left as is.
