Fitting AV lead from toysinyourcar.com

I have just recieved the lead below

http://www.toysinyourcar.com/acatalog/rov_av_cam.htm

And intend to connect a reversing camera i have fitted.
Most of the connections are obvious but i am not sure on the white wire.
I proposed to take a +ve feed to the camera from the reversing lamp.
Is this feed also to be connected to the white wire from the lead?
I am not sure as no instructions came with lead.
Edit:
I have just seen that it has a tag saying 'for camera switching (ground) on the white lead
One end is just the wire the other end has a tiny connector on it that looks as if it should be in one of the sockets on the plug.
I have been waiting for this since the 3rd june and any emails i send the supplier bounce back so it seems help from that quarter may be a bit difficult.

Well not the most successful evening.
After a bit of searching I found this thread.

Great I thought just the job.
I waited for the light to go off on the satnav and set to work.
I got it all wired up correctly ( as I thought)
Turned on the ignition but all I got was the hint of a backlight showing on the screen and nothing else.
I checked everything then found that I had connected the white wire to pin 2 on the blue plug !

Not sure if I have goosed the unit or if there is anything I can try.
The only other thing I noted that as I connected up to the reversing light the satnav woke up.
I waited till the led went off again before I continued.
If anyone more clued up on the Hiline has any suggestions I am all ears.
