Cautions and Notes
Please read and follow the instructions and precautions in this installation guide when installing
VuLink.
For assistance, a qualified installation technician or mechanic should be consulted.
Do not use excessive force when removing the mirror from the windshield. The mirror
mounting plate may become separated from the windshield and/or the windshield may
break if excessive force is used. If you are unfamiliar with rearview mirror removal seek
professional assistance.
To prevent electrical shorts or breakage in the wiring and cabling, do not allow wiring and
cabling to be pinched behind trim pieces, panels, or other physical objects.
Do not run wires or cables in areas where they may become damaged by heat from the
engine or the exhaust system.
Do not install any wiring in the deployment path of the air bag(s).
When installing the cables or making wire connections, it is recommended you leave a little
‘slack’ in the cable connections to allow for service loops and for movement of the mirror so
the connections do not get pulled or accidentally disconnected.
Where possible, avoid running cables parallel to other wiring and/or antenna coax that may
be installed in the vehicle.
We recommend at least 2 feet of distance between our cabling and that of other systems
which may carry a signal for transmit and/or receive
