Backup camera RCA video cable

Can you try and attach the pictures again? They did not attach and can you let us know what type of kit this is? If they have instructions that would be great too if you can get some pictures of those and post them as well. Thanks

Okay. That clears it up. The harness in the first picture that you attached is the same portion of the harness in the second picture that connects to the camera and runs the length of the vehicle as you said.

The little red wires on this harness are only to be used if you are connecting to this a DVD player.

The other red wire that says it connects to the reverse light is the actual trigger wire. This wires to the reverse light wire for the lights in the rear of the vehicle that power the reverse light bulbs. So when the reverse lights turn on, the camera gets 12 volts. Then you can just use any ground for the black wire.

Does that make sense?

Correct. According to your instructions is says the trigger wire hooks up if you have a DVD player - "If you do not use a DVD player then you do not need to hook the wire up."

The other red wire that has the black wire with it connects to the wire that powers the reverse light. Basically this is a 12 volt wire that only gets voltage when the vehicle is in reverse so that will tell power the camera as well only in reverse. Take a look at the attachment.

I am not sure what reverse light you are talking about behind the radio. You need to hook the reverse light wire back of the vehicle where the actual reverse lights are. Does that make sense?

Correct. According to the instructions those two red wires are to be unused unless you are using a DVD player. You only connect the single red wire to the reverse light voltage feed back at the tail light.

Hi,

I understand what you want to do, but not how. When you say, "I object the red tail wire to the accessory red." what do you mean?

The only way I can think of to have access at any time would be to provide a constant power supply to the camera feed on the rear of the unit. Then, you will need to put some type of switch in it so you can control power to it. Otherwise, it will be on all the time.

Let me know.
