Stuck installing backup camera + monitor
 

UPDATE: I have it installed! Random red wires on the yellow was useless. I'll post up some pics when I get the chance!

I'm about 30% done with installing my backup camera, but I am very confused as far as powering the camera and the monitor goes.


Heres what I got so far:
The result so far. 4.3 inch monitor and Moonet 370z rearview camera.

Wiring of back up camera.

The backup camera.

This is the diagram I drew, lol.


I understand the grounding part (I think, which is Black 2 and 3. I THINK.).. I don't know what Red 3 and Red 4 is useful for.

So am I supposed to connect Red 2 to Red 3 and connect those two to an add a fuse? I'm thinking this would allow me to have both camera and monitor on every time the car is on. Or would this blow the fuse? My other option was connecting Red 2 to the reverse light and having red 3 on an add-a-fuse. Also, what does white do?

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

do u have the original wiring diagram that came with your package?

camera side: the yellow RCA (pin plug) is your video signal.
the camera needs the red going to a switched 12v (or your rear lamp wire), black going to ground.

monitor side: the yellow RCA (pin plug) for your video signal.
the monitor should also have a red going to a switched 12v, and black going to ground.

try it without connecting the RED3 and RED4. not sure what that red wire is for...

You probably figured it out by now but if you havnt...

the RED3 and RED4 in your diagram is an independent wire that just runs along the yellow AV cable. I used it to tap into the reverse wire of my head unit and I wired the other end to the red power wire of the camera. This worked for me.

OH yeah, I definitely got it installed. works like a charm!

OP - what's that White one for, coming out of the monitor?
