I did this with a very quick hand twisted connection to see if I would get signal from the backup camera. It was very choppy and going in and out but I figured that was because i didn't connect the wires very well.
A month later I got the time to run the wire through the interior and hook up the camera. I'm not getting any signal now. I tried multiple times to redo the connections and I'm still getting nothing.
The wires that I had to splice together were different gauge which doesn't seem right but those are the wires they provide. Also on the diagram they provide, the small black wire they say not to connect to anything. Should this wire be grounded? Any other tips would be appreciated

On the picture it doesn't look like you've connected the black ground cable from your Cam. You'll find ground on pretty much anywhere on your car where there is a metal plate. |
Thanks that fixed it! Didn't think that wire had to be grounded since the directions I got from Avin said not to use that wire.
Edit: I now tried it again with that black ground wire not connected to anything and it's still working. This is the same setup I was using yesterday that wasn't working but now it somehow works. Electronics confuse me
