If I am planning to hook up a Raspberry Pi computer to this. What would I do with that extra positive wire (Blue wire) for the electricity?

Bend back the blue wire, if you don't need ac and tape it to the other cable or sleeve it with split conduit(wallmart), this should keep it looking clean

The blue wire is a remote power switch for the backup camera function.The display has two video inputs, AV1 and either AV2 or a backup camera. You use the buttons on the front and leave the blue wire disconnected if you're just using the display for AV. Putting power on the blue wire (red must have power also) will turn the display on and select input 2 without pressing the power button. It also puts a CAR BACK message instead of AV2 in the corner of the display when there is no video signal.The display will turn on with as little as 3V on the blue wire so you could connect your video to input 2 (female RCA) and an I/O to the blue wire to turn the display on and off.

the blue wire is to turn it on and off without breaking the 12 volt supply. To use continuously simply tie the blue wire to 12 volts.

There is no positive/negative wire. One end goes into the outlet and the other goes into the device.

You either need to hardwire it or get a pigtail to plug it in. I suggest hardwiring it.

Not sure why you would want/need to, but sure, you could use a PSU instead of the supplied power. I have yet to use anything but the supplied PS.

Nothing. You should be able to hook that stuff up directly to the power outlets of the generator.

I still have that ridiculous unit in my desk, still trying to figure what type of wire to connect to those fine pins. GOOD LUCK.

In most cases the red wire is the positive and the other corresponds to the negative pole. You can try in any case the product has a protection system when connected inversely.

Its just a connector. You connnect positive wire to positive wire and negative to negative. Its doesnt matter what you connect to what it just makes that connection secure.

I connected the Blue wire to the positive. Simple enough to test on a 12 volt light, Just expose all of the wire ends. the two from the light and the two from your power supply. Simply hold the blue wire to your positve supply and the brown wire to the ground supply wire, if this is correct, the light will come on. If not, reverse the proccess. A 12 volt light will not cause you any harm and it will not blow any fuses if hooked up backwards. (It just won't light). Hope this helps.

I purchased one from another site. It came with a 5 V 2 A regulated wall wart type power supply in the factory blister pack. My unit is one of the few that works well with Raspberry Pi.

Yes you will. Having just looked at mine I also have a blue wire. All colors go to a designated terminal, with red going to a "double" terminal with a bracket connecting them.

The wire come with a letter like ABCD so you will put the wires like tha latter says, there is a positive an negative those are for the power get the reverse light conector and plug it there, be careful above the colors of the wires, use adhesive tape to cover it

No idea, but I think it draws too much power for small wires. Connections may have corroded just enough for voltage drop.

I dont see why you cant.just hook up the positive and negative wire and you should be good to go.the led lights draw hardly any power.they are great lights and good people to deal with. Good luck

Get the voltage and polarity right and you should be ok. Just be careful not to fry it.

Open it like I did or use Red and Blue wires to a standard 110V plug. Snip off the yellow or use it for ground if you have a 3 screw plug.

I just used a 12v adapter I had lying around. I cut the end off and used a multimeter to make sure the polarity was correct and hooked it to the board. Please, do be careful about the where you put the positive and negative. I remember reading on the net that this device won't protect itself from reverse polarity on the dc voltage. Meaning, the circuit board will be ruined.
