34) Adding a rear view camera...(The LS uses a module to operate all the rear lights. It sends a ground signal to a light bulb to activate tail lamp, brake lamp, reverse lamp.) The camera operates with a (+) signal to turn on the camera. The camera power has to come from the battery saver circuit. The most convenient source is at the right rear trunk lamp (+) circuit. This is always on when the car ignition is on and activates when the key FOB is activated or the door is opened. A separate relay has to be installed to provide the head unit with a (+) signal instead of a (-) signal during reverse lamp activation. A wire from the (-) module side of the reverse lamp has to be run from the trunk lid wiring under the rear seat to the center console. A relay then has to be installed using a (+) circuit at on of the connectors under the console. Use the (-) signal from the module to trigger the relay coil to provide a (+) signal to the radio head unit.
Pin 85 (-) signal from reverse lamps
Pin 86 (+) positive signal from battery saver circuit at connecter under console.
Pin 30 (+) from battery saver circuit.
Pin 87 (+) signal to radio head unit reverse signal.
Pin 87a not used.

Do not use the amp power wire to turn on the camera. All cameras have a heating element to keep the lense from fogging. Too much current for the amp turn on circuit. This will overload the circuit and cause intermittent failure.

You might want to give some amplifying information such as what model your car is, what kind of stereo you have, etc.

what does the manual say?

normally the red wire is positive power, and the yellow connector is for video. but depending on who makes it, they could be for anything. you need to consult the manual.

thats what i thought but the video is the yellow rca ,i dont think it can be the cable lost the instructions

 

[1LoudLS]

yes the video should be a RCA connector not a bare wire.

normally yellow is for constant power, and red is for accessory power, but there should also be a ground wire.

have you tried the website for the brand of camera?
