Hi TerminatorX5,

Since you have the factory PDC, you may consider using the Pin 7 from the center plug of the PDC to get a (+) signal to a SMALLER relay (see this very thread for the part number and the specs), which will apply (-) to the trigger wire.

One thing at a time... check the camera fitment first... then post your progress, we will guide you further...
video feed from camera goes to tv module - yellow cable from camera (signal and ground) - signal to pin 13 white connector and ground to pin 14 white connector - white connector of video module.

small relay - 12v low current coil - coil to pin 7 pdc and ground.

relay feeds ground to pin 17 of blue connector from video module.

Did i get it right?


Best regards,

Paulo
