If the camera is not powered or there is no signal on that input you will get a message on the screen about that.
If you don't send +12v to the "back" wire your HU will not switch the input.

Thanks for responding.
I found out yesterday about 12V to the unit from carsolutionsdude forum...
What "right"RCA are you talking about - I dont think I have one...I have several inputs for RCA audio, one input that says "Video In Back" and thats the one I used for the camera.
