I just install a back up camera but I am having a problem. It came with a hardware kit but it says to install the blue wire to the 12V reverse wire that tells it to come on in reverse but I can not find that wire. Anyone out there installed a camera that calls to to this?

 

I am guessing, but the wire that gives the reverse light power in the tail lights.

 

I am guessing thats what it does too. The hardwire kit has 3 wires Hot , Ground, Transmission......... It is suppose to activate camera when you put it in reverse.

 

yeah that would make sense, transmission is duh, ground is duh, and yeah the hot should hook up to that. Because the only time those lights come on is in reverse. Thats just my 2 cents.

 

What type of kit did you get? Where did you put the monitor?

 

and lets see pics of your MC, sounds hot

 

I got a WinPlus BackUp Camera. I mounted my Monitor here

nice truck man. where did you mount the actual camera in the rear?

 

Nice MC

 

The actual camera is mounted on the license plate in the rear. I like it so far but have to turn it off and on until I can figure out the wire that goes to the transmission to activate it when I put it in reverse.
