I'm installing.one.tomorrow. my camera came.with a black and red wire attached to the connector but also has a red wire.coming.off the video plug that would go into.my deck. I'm kinda confused after reading all.of this. Will my deck power the.camera and all I need to do is ground.it. or will I need to plug it into my reverse lights power as well as everything else? I have ran all the wires already but haven't spliced/hooked up any wires yet, just looking for woke clarification. Thanks
I was expecting to have to tap into the reverse wire in the drivers side kick panel so I was pleasantly surprised to find the camera wiring harness solved my problem.

I know it's backwards

There's a rubber grommet at the far end of the channel that you can go through that comes out under the truck. One of the original pictures I posted shows the location.

Ahhh, cool coool. How many feet of cable did you use for the video? Yellow cable isn't it? And I have the same head unit a you but the newer version. So you connect it to the back for the video feed, but what about power? How does that work?

I have an 07 Lariat with the factory in dash navigation. I pulled out the head unit today and realized that there's no RCA imput. Is there any way aound this other then buying a new head unit??
