So many times I asked AVIN via email how this wired in and to offer a picture or schematic, nothing... Was it really that hard to provide a simple picture like this?
That makes sense. I was wondering how to piece that together during the install as there is also a video input on the harness for "Rear Sight Cam." Had me confused. We were in such a hurry we did not have time to play with the rear camera output to try to get dual DVR going. I'm wondering if a splitter could be used so that the rear cam could be used for both DVR and for backup? I don't see why not as long as the camera has power.

Thanks Prop for finding that. Might order one to pair with my head unit. Been wanting dual DVR. Might have to rewire my rear cam to have 12v+ all the time when vehicle is on.
