Where does the blue wire connect and what does it do?

That one stumped me too. Nothing in the instructions, although they do mention 12 VDC for that wire somewhere in a diagram. The instructions were horrible, and the thing never powered on. I returned it and got a refund. My suggestion is you do the same.

I have no idea. We looked it and couldn't figure out how it works. There was very little instructions.

If you mean the blue wire on the LCD screen, it is a video input switch. The monitor is hooked up with the red wire to 12 volts, black to ground and the blue wire to your backup lights. There are two RCA inputs, one male and one female yellow. The male is video one input. The female is video two input. On the front of the LCD monitor, you can press the "V1/V2" button to switch between these inputs. If you connect the blue wire to your backup lights and use video one for something (like a dvd player), when your backup lights are on, the 12 volts to that blue wire will cause the monitor to switch to video TWO which is where you would connect the backup camera. Shift out of reverse, the backup lights go off and the LCD monitor will switch back to video ONE input. Hope this helps.

if you want the camera to come on when you back up, hook into backup lights for power, otherwise hookup directly to power.

sorry, it has been so long since we hooked it up i forgot. There were 2 hot wires going to the monitor, one did not go on automatically so i used the other. The unit works well, after several months.

The blue wire acts as an on switch which you connect to any positive lead on any circuit that turns on when you, say go in reverse. it will turn on the rear view camera circuit.

Both blue and white wires go together . On is to turn on the head unit and the other is to turn on the pac device they go together as if it was one blue and white wire.

My previous set up was 3 wires. 2 hot and a ground. I did a few searches and was told that this unit did not need the ground wire so I left it disconnected as there is no place to connect it. The unit has been working fine for 8+ months now.

There is a knob on a wire that leads from the harness connecting everything together. It's a pretty long wire.

That wire is for the wireless ir cable. It connects to the transmitter. So you can control your remote from anther room. You can control channel changing or volume.

Yes, the blue wire is the "trigger" wire, just like VL says, connect this blue wire along with the red wire to the back up light wire; this way, when you shift your vehicle to reverse, the back up light wire will give electricity to the monitor, and when you shift out of reverse, the monitor will shut off because there's no electricity going to it. Don't forget to connect the black wire to the ground first.

Don't know, just look at back of unit for a blue wire with white strip. If it has it then should be good to go. Very easy to install, works great for the price.

The blue wire is the hot and the black wire is the ground. Not sure which one of yours is hot and which one is ground. You can test them to see.

In America, answers stating that yellow/green stripe is "ground" are correct (green wire in USA). Regarding the other two wires (brown and blue), even though it's AC and to remain standardized, the "brown" wire is considered "hot" (Black wire in USA), and the "blue" wire is considered "neutral" (white wire in USA). Thus, "green/yellow" wire connects to USA "green", "brown" wire connects to USA "black", and "blue" wire connects to USA "white". If you're confused, my apologies...just Wikipedia it...Wiki even has pictures!!! To summarize, green/yellow to GREEN, brown to BLACK, and blue to WHITE. Just a footnote,the other connection will work....it's just not "standard".

It connects to the computer via a FireWire connection. Most PCs don't have this.

there is an input + and an input - those connect to the power source, the output + and - connect to the load or whatever you are supplying power to.you can connect through the solder hole and/or with the blue screw terminal.
