Where to connect these wires?

testdasi · 5th June 2012, 18:12

I was trying to connect the rear view camera to my DD but ran into cluelessness.
This is the wireless receiver (which I think should be connected to the head unit). There are 1 RCA jack and 3 bare wires (see pic below) that I have no idea where to connect to:

Black wire coming from the receiver
Red wire coming from the receiver
Red wire coming out of the yellow RCA jack
Yellow RCA jack (there are 9 RCA holes on the unit, not sure which one to plug into - I just plugged it into the top left)

Please help.

I would think the following:

Black to earth Red to positive rc jack to video in, red wire from rc jack not a clue.

Did the camera come with instructions? If not contact seller and see if they can help

This is Sean's (Radioguy) DD camera so our forum is the instruction LOL

Sean's instruction picture is from an earlier version and I still don't know where to connect the wires.

Here is the Connection for the receiver

For the Transmitter (The camera plugs to the transmitter)

The transmitter connections

Did I Not email you the Wiring to the reverse lights ?

Hi Sean,
You did send the pics, it shows the receiver having a black plug and a red plug (with comment that either can be used to supply power to the receiver).
The actual receiver had bare wires instead of the plugs (and the picture also doesn't show the red wire coming out of the yellow RCA plug).
I also have no idea where to get the power from.

Plugging in the DD was easy enough - really just plug-and-play with a small bit of guessing. The camera is proving harder than I thought.

Thanks Sean. It has been raining pretty heavily so I can't really get it installed. Once things clear up a bit (both work and weather), I'll give it another try. But your pic should be enough now. Think I have some ideas now instead of absolutely no idea previously.
