Install Your ClearDrive Mirror

1. Park on a level surface, switch the ignition off, apply the parking brake, and open the liftgate.
2. Disconnect the negative 12-V battery terminal and wait at least 3 minutes before working near overhead trim or SRS components.
3. Protect the windshield, dashboard, and trim with a clean cloth. Confirm all supplied parts are present.

1. Release the trim shroud around the original mirror base with a plastic trim tool.
2. Support the mirror, loosen the mount fastener with the correct driver or bit, then slide the mirror off the windshield mount.
3. Disconnect any factory mirror connector by its locking tab, never by pulling the wires.

1. Position the vehicle-specific mount and front camera housing at the factory mirror location.
2. Slide the ClearDrive mirror onto the mount and tighten the retaining fastener until secure.
3. Route the mirror leads upward behind the housing, leaving enough slack for normal mirror adjustment.

1. Open the sunglass holder and use a plastic trim tool to release the overhead console clips.
2. Support the console as it lowers.
3. Press the locking tab to disconnect the factory plug.

1. Insert the ClearDrive T-harness between the factory roof connector and the overhead console connector.
2. Connect the dedicated mirror power lead. Match keyed plugs by shape and color and do not force a connector.
3. Confirm that every locking tab is fully seated.

No factory wire cutting or splicing is required.

1. Join the matching mirror and video extension connectors until fully seated.
2. Secure the connection so it cannot rattle, then place the excess harness above the headliner without pinching it.
3. Reconnect and press the overhead console into place until every clip is seated.

1. Leave a small service loop at the mirror so it can be adjusted without pulling the cable.
2. Use a plastic trim tool to tuck the extension cable above the front edge of the headliner.
3. Keep the cable clear of the windshield camera, sensors, and sun visor hardware.

1. Continue the cable rearward behind the headliner and upper door seals.
2. Use existing factory harness paths where possible and secure loose sections with fabric tape or cable ties.
3. Avoid sharp edges, moving trim, and all side-curtain airbag deployment paths.

1. At the rear headliner, pull back only enough weatherstrip to access the factory cable route.
2. Guide the extension cable into the upper liftgate area. Use a fish tape if needed and protect the connector while pulling.
3. Confirm the cable is not trapped under the weatherstrip or trim clips.

1. Open and support the liftgate.
2. Release the upper interior trim panel with a plastic trim tool, working evenly from one end to the other.
3. Set the panel on a clean surface and identify the factory route to the third brake light.

1. Route the video extension through the factory liftgate opening or rubber wiring boot.
2. Pull only from the protected cable body. Never pull directly on a connector or bend it sharply.
3. Reseat the rubber boot or grommet completely to preserve the water seal.

1. Remove the factory brake-light fasteners from inside the liftgate and retain them for reuse.
2. Press the locking tab and disconnect the original brake-light plug.
3. From outside the vehicle, support and remove the lamp assembly without scratching the painted spoiler.

1. Clean the mounting surface and confirm the supplied seal is correctly positioned.
2. Connect the factory brake-light plug and the ClearDrive camera lead.
3. Position the assembly in the original opening and install the retained fasteners evenly.

1. Secure all cable slack away from hinges, gas struts, clips, and latch mechanisms, then reinstall every trim panel and weatherstrip.
2. Reconnect the negative battery terminal and switch the ignition to ACC.
3. Verify front and rear camera views, confirm the third brake light illuminates, and make sure the rear image is level and unobstructed.
