Which type and size of connector I have to use in order to connect the camera to the reverse light?

its actually 2 wires that must be spliced in. 1 red (power/hot) and 1 black (ground).

id say it depends on the vehicle youre putting it on. but most use the splice that crimps the wire to the side of the existing wire to reverse lights. kinda like a vampire tap..

Dorman splices from Auto Zone or O'reilley will work. They are commonly used for connecting trailer wiring to an auto electrical ssytem. Be aware the camera is sensitive to electrical surges. This can happen when backing and stepping on the brake pedal. The brake lites turn on and cause a voltage drop enough to momentarily cause the camera to drop out.

I assume you are talking about the backup camera wires? If so, any small gauge wire will do.

Yes there will be a cable and and a power signal from the camera to the head unit Also you will have to power supply from your reverse or b a k up lights to turn on the camera All of this should be included in the kit except for maybe a few but connectors

red cable is for the video , you have to connect the black adaptor and put the red wire to power, you can use the same power coming from reverse light and black to ground .I did not used the white , because is not audio available .

On the back of the camera there is a short tail with a yellow connector and a black connector. Also in the box that the camera comes in, you should have a coiled wire with a yellow connector on each end. You should have another coiled wire with a red plug on one end and a red and black wire on the other end. You hook up the yellow plug on the camera to one of the yellow plugs on the coiled wire. The other yellow plug on the coiled wire needs to be connected to the video screen that you are using for a backup screen. The coiled wire with the red plug is the power cord. The red plug goes into the black plug on the camera lead and the bare red and black wires at the other end of the coiled wire with the red plug go to the power and ground. Most people hookup the red lead to the power side of a backup light and the black wire to a convenient ground. That way when you put your vehicle in reverse and the backup lights go on so does the camera. Hope this is helpful.

Any camera should suffice. Power plugs into radio and reverse switch on wire harness as long as it has the composite output on camera your good to go

The device doesn't come with the connector , you have to include it from the provider or to order it separated. In mean time do not exclude on installing in the camera the Magic Lantern which does everything.

I connected my red wire to the reverse light 12 volt + and the black wire to ground... so my camera will only come on when the vehicle is in reverse. If you want to access the camera at other times, you may need to connect the red wire to a 12 volt + supply that comes on when the ignition key is turned to ACC and install a switch on the circuit. That way you can switch it on whenever you want to.

I jumped the power for the mirror into accessory fuse and camera to reverse light. Think you can wire mirror to cigarette lighter but camera must be powered by reverse light.

Well for starters you have to run an accessory wire that will turn on when you turn on the vehicle. Then next you have to locate the wire that sends the signal to the reverse light so when the vehicle is in reverse that will power on the camera. The not so easy part is the running of the video wire YELLOW from the camera to the monitor. Some cars you can run it under the carpet others the headliner what ever is easy.

The camera does not. The hook up for the reverse circuit is in the unit the camera hooks to, if it needs one. If it is a stand alone installation, like for a trailer hookup, then it will work.

Used the camera specific for my car (Infinity G35) and it is coming as replacement of the standard license plate light to the combination as light and camera. Than I used the wireas coming to the reverse light and ran the cable thru the wall behind the rear seats (opening in the body's wall). On the dash board we have a little compartment for the little staff so we ran the cable to it under the carper beside the door openings and connected to the display mounted on the door. So now if I need I can close the door of this compartment and display is disappearing.

It depends on how you want it to behave. 1. If you want the camera and the lcd screen to come live on reverse only, then you want both ends to be powered by the reverse light. Connecting the camera to the reverse light is easy. Finding the reverse light wire on the under the driver kick panel was hard for me. So I powered my LCD panel (and the wireless receiver) using the cigarette lighter. LCD panel has power constantly but it remains dark until it receives signal from the transmitter. i.e. when I am reversing. 2. Connect both ends to constant power (to driving lights) so you have continuous view of the rear.

Unfortunately the connecting cord is called a "connecting cord." Would suggest taking it to a place like Radio Shack. The pins on the end have two black lines (which indicate size in the electronic world.) The camera and receiver are the same size, so taking one or the other to match up should do it. Hope this helps. Sorry you are in a fix.

You should have a yellow RCA cable on the radio and then you connect the red cable to the + on the reverse light and the black to ground.

I think the diameter of hole you need should be around 1.2'' to feed the power /data cable. The power/data cable can not be detachable from the camera side.

You need some male/male 4-pin connectors: http://www.amazon.com/20pcs-Connectors-Strip-Lights-Insert/dp/B008LR35VK
