Crowz,

Bought the camera you recommended. I however sourced the power for the camera from the back up lights. I also carried that power to the front on a separate cable and ran it along with the video cable to my head unit. The reason being is with the Pioneer HU has a purple wire for reverse that supposedly needs 12v. I do have 10.2 volts coming to the front on that cable I ran and the same amount supposedly being supplied to the camera. As you know the camera connection wires coming from the camera end at a male and female connection small type connector. The problem is I do not have a picture on the screen. I did not have time yesterday to check that funky little connector for power because of course it is in the hatch trim. There is a red wire that is also molded into the rca jack by the head unit does this require 12v.? The wiring schematic that came with the camera is horrible and makes little sense. Can you shed some light? As of now I believe I just have a bad camera.
