reverse light positive and negative (ground) wire
video camera positive and negavite( ground) wire

i never used relay # 30 to connect pin 17 from the video module, cause i did not know which wire on that harness was pin 17/nor did i know what color it was...

but that does not matter because my vsm works fine wit my navi without pin 17 being connected to the relay
This part of the question was answered on post #2 - the camera activation needs a relay to rid of the scan lines. This will give it a clean, uninterrupted power source.

The grey wire on the VSM can be tapped into the reverse tailight.
