on the back of the radio, there is an 8pin plug. This is from the pin side with the release facing up. you only need pin 1,3,5,6 to retain it.

Pin 1 - camera video +
Pin 2 - na
Pin 3 - camera power 5v dc https://www.metraonline.com/part/AFDI-5V
Pin 4 - na
Pin 5 - camera video -
Pin 6 - camera detection (connect to ground)
Pin 7 - ground
Pin 8 - na

take a single rca cable, chop off one of the ends and strip the wiring back. The loose metal strands aka sleeve/shield is negative, the coloured core is positive. Make sure you solder these connections. Minimizes thevchance of interference.
