Installation Instructions
Introduction
 WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the 
product box for product warnings and other important 
information.
Garmin
®
 strongly recommends having an experienced installer 
with the proper knowledge of electrical systems install the 
device. Incorrectly wiring the power cable can result in damage 
to the vehicle or the battery and can cause bodily injury.
When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line 
fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product 
damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse 
must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In 
addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate 
fuse in place will void the product warranty.
 CAUTION
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask 
when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite 
side of the surface.
These installation instructions do not apply to a specific vehicle 
type, and are meant as a guide when installing this product on 
your vehicle. For questions specific to your vehicle, you should 
contact the vehicle manufacturer.

Installation
Installing the Receiver
Before you can install the BC 30 receiver cable, you must 
update your GPS device to the most recent software version. 
Your GPS device may not be compatible with the BC 30 camera 
without the most recent software. See your GPS device owner's 
 for more information about 
updating your GPS device.
The wireless camera receiver is built into BC 30 receiver cable 
included with your wireless backup camera.
Use the BC 30 receiver cable included with your BC 30 
camera to connect your GPS device to vehicle power.
See the owner's manual for your GPS device for more 
information about connecting the device to vehicle power.
NOTE: The BC 30 receiver cable includes a traffic receiver. If 
your GPS device includes lifetime traffic, the traffic features 
continue to function while using the BC 30 receiver cable.
Camera Mounting Considerations
When selecting a location to mount the camera, observe these 
considerations.
• You should test a mounting location before you permanently 
mount the camera.
• Installing the camera higher on the back of the vehicle 
provides a better viewing angle.
• The included bracket can be clipped onto a license plate or 
other similar surface, or it can be fastened to the back of the 
vehicle using the included self-tapping, panhead screws.
Transmitter Location and Wiring Considerations
NOTICE
The transmitter is not intended to be held or worn on your body 
while it is in use.
When selecting a location to install the wireless transmitter, 
observe these considerations.
• You should test a proposed installation location before you 
permanently install the transmitter.
• Some vehicles do not provide constant minimum voltage to 
the reverse lamps. You should use an automotive relay when 
connecting the transmitter and camera to a power source that 
does not provide constant voltage.
• Although the transmitter can reliably transmit the video signal 
over approximately 13.5 m (45 ft.), the location of the 
transmitter can affect this range.
◦ The closer you install the transmitter to the receiver, the 
more reliable the signal.
◦ The transmitter provides the best signal when either flat 
surface 
À
 is pointing toward the receiver.
◦ Dense metal or appliances 
Á
 in the path of the transmitter 
greatly reduce the transmission distance.
◦ The fewer solid objects that exist between the path of the 
transmitter and the device, the more reliable the signal.
• If the distance between the camera and the transmitter 
exceeds the length of the included cable, additional extension 
cables can be used. A 15 m (50 ft.) extension cable can be 
purchased, and more than one extension cable can be 
installed. See your Garmin dealer or go to 
for more information.
