Hi,

Just wanting advise/confirmation before I go ahead with this. I am currently installing a rearview camera to a aftermarket 2 din headunit. Does this look right?

My only concern is the wire from the HU: "CCD Input". Theres no other wire labeled "reverse wire" coming out of the HU so im assuming its this. The manual is crap since everything is broken english lol.

FYI, i like to power my cameras with accessory power. Many Nav units have an option to turn the camera on if you wish while not in reverse. Others(like Rosen) keep the camera on for a few moments after you shift out of reverse. In both cases you want the camera powered whenever the head unit is on...

I like the auto switching feature for now but may consider this later on ;)
