Before You Begin
Note: The AIR II device ships with many installation components; not all components are required for each install. Please refer to the guide for details on which components are recommended.
The installation kit contains a registration card, the AIR II device, device dock, mount plate with adhesive, hardwire power harness, and hardwire accessories (2 fuse holders, 2 heat-shrink butt connectors, 1 ring terminal, 1 star washer, and 1 ground screw).
Note: The SD Card will be pre-installed in the camera for T-Mobile shipments.
Note: If you are not familiar with testing and installing power-system-related items, professional installation assistance from a qualified installation vendor or dealer is recommended.

Installation Steps
1. Device Connections.
With keys removed from the ignition, locate a vehicle wire providing 12 to 14 VDC (+). This will be the constant power wire power source.
Complete the following steps to poke and wrap the connection:
Note: Manufacturer-supplied hardwire accessories, which include fuse taps, MAY BE included in your order. Do NOT use these fuse taps. Instead, follow the poke-and-wrap guidelines below.
Prep the power harness by cutting the existing connections and adding supplied in-line fuse holders to constant (red) and ignition (white) wires and add ring terminal to ground (black) wire.
Remove 1 in. (2.5 cm) of insulation from the vehicle wire identified, poke something non-conductive between the wire strands creating a loop and insert the harness Red wire.
Squeeze the loop shut, tightly wrap the bare wire around the exposed wire at least three times and fold the wire over the connection.
Generously wrap electrical tape around the connection, crossing over the insulation on both sides.
Secure the connection with one cable tie directly over the wire-to-wire connection, and another that creates a stress loop about 1 in. (2.5 cm) away from the connection.
Locate a vehicle wire that provides at least 12 VDC (+) and 14 VDC (+) while the vehicle is On and running, and 0 VDC (+) when the key is in the Off and Accessory positions; this will be the 6-Pin Harness White wire power source.
Repeat Step 2.2: A-E to make the same type of wire-to-wire connection for the Switch/White wire.
Locate a suitable location on the chassis to attach the device Black/Ground wire. Confirm there is nothing behind the mounting location, and screw the ring terminal to the chassis.
Route the wire with USB Type-C plug of the Power Cord to the expected camera mounting location on the windshield.
Note: Leave an extra few inches of cord length near the camera to insert the Type-C plug into the AIR II Dock, and also make mounting and dismounting the camera easier.
5. Secure any excess wire after the camera is mounted.
2. Device Mounting.
Winter Installation Note: For optimal adhesion in cold weather, warm the windshield surface before applying the mount. If the glass is cold, run the defroster for a few minutes to warm it up. Adhesive mounts bond best to warm, dry glass — cold surfaces can significantly reduce sticking strength and lead to mount failure while driving.
With the Mount Plate attached to the windshield and the power cord connected to the AIR II, position the AIR II on the right side of the Mount Plate. Next, ensure the Mount Plate locking tabs are aligned with their fittings on the camera dock.
Important❗ Ensure you use the most appropriate mount for the windshield curve. Available mount options shown below.
2. Slide the camera left and down to secure it firmly onto the Mount Plate.
Note: Please ensure the AIR II is installed properly and firmly attached to the windshield prior to operating the vehicle. Be sure to make any adjustments to the angle or position of the AIR II before operating the vehicle.
3. Adjust Angle
Use a coin to loosen the Dock hinge by turning the adjustment slot counter-clockwise.
For optimal vision in and around your vehicle, adjust the camera’s position to make the Dock hinge parallel with the road.
Tighten the Dock into place by turning the adjustment slot clockwise with a coin.
LED Mode/Button Overview
Adjust Driver-Facing Camera
The Driver-Facing Camera’s pitch and yaw can be adjusted directly.
Remove the Driver Privacy Cover, using your finger directly adjust the Driver-Facing Camera. Adjust the camera angle so that it is horizontally parallel to the vehicle cabin.
If applicable, insert the Driver Privacy Cover top edge into the slot, press it into place, and then secure it with the screws provided.
