It is going to have at least 3 wires on it. It may have more. If it has only 3 there will be Power, Ground, and Video. You may have to put the vehicle in reverse to find the power wire. What are the chances of removing the camera from the tailgate and Fabricate a housing to mount it on the plate?

Can someone tell me what the shield wire does what is it for?

The shield is just a ground connection that is braided around the other wires to stop interference from entering those wires.

Does anyone know the path of these wires. I want to tap into them and run the video on my Alpine 205?
Do they run down the drivers/passenger sills?
