Interesting how every post of yours (whatever the subject) always contains a link to the same company. Do you work for that company or are you just being paid to post links to them?

So in essence, the camera is gonna have 3 main wires, power/ground/reverse lead.. good stuff. Man, I just learned something. Thanks Matt

That sounds like a good idea, actually.

just wanted to make a note about the "orange" wire BIG speaks of. When wiring my HU and Backup camera. I ran a wire with the video wire for the camera up to the headunit, connected both the wire and backup camera power wire to the "orange" wire on the harness in the trunk on the left.

Im not sure what the harness does, but there are 3 orange wires. I used the first one(one on the end of the harness). everything works great!

You should not of garbed power for the camera from that wire, but I guess you can in a pinch. You should of attached the red wire to either the red wire of your head unit wiring harness or of the 12 volt outlet.

The orange wire is to tell the head unit to show the rear camera input. yes there are 3 orange wires in the harness however only one will only show power when you put the car in reverse.

Slightly OT, but can someone tell me where the stock back up camera lens that comes with the Nav is located? I can't find it in any pics (and don't get my car for a week). I know some of them are close to the license plate frame and I just want to make sure the frame I'm looking at won't interfere.
