Anyone install a rearview camera? Im trying to figure out the wiring and such and it appears best place to tap into for a reverse signal would be the PRNDL switch on the tranny. From looking at wiring diagrams I think its the Pink wire right? No wait, the light green is the signal, the pink is the HOT-with-key-on. Wheres the best place to run the wiring into the cab? The grommet on the firewall? Im installing the Boyo license plate mounted camera btw.

OK i finally installed the camera but i was all wrong about it, the cable had the power and ground all hook up to the HU brain. But there's a problem, the power/ground wires are hella thin. Like smaller than 22 gauge. Its about as thin as dental floss no joke. So im wonderin, how the hell do i connect those wires to anything. The smallest spade connectors i can find are for 18-22 gauge wires. I tried folding the wire over onto its insulation to make it thicker but doesn't seem to make good contact. It's as though as if the wires are hairs, very tough to make contact. What can i do? Im thinkin i could add some solder to the wires to beef them up?

Which camera did you get? and i would just solder the connections together with some shrink tubing over the joint.

I want the connection to be removable so that i can disconnect it if need be. I guess im gonna try soldering some thicker wire to it and adding spade connectors to the thicker wire.
I got the Boyo license plate frame black camera.

·I got a 09 extended colly and I can not find the reverse wire (green in this forum) in my model. Anyone knows which color it is for my year vehicle, and where it is located (would be nice if it is in the cab), thanks for answers..
