Thanks again

RS can not help me.

I have had another thought.

Would this cable work?

Then it is all plug and play?

Nice one

I think you should set up a shop selling off your old components, your technical support is far superior. i.e by telling the individual what they require

I have been doing it since 1947

Additionally, are all phono cables the same inside? i.e. is there a different cable to send a video output and for an audio output?

Wow.....you must really love electronics

I bet electronics shop love it if you come in and tell them exactly what you want.

Nope all the same, ideally you would not use a phono plug on a video source, but they will work just fine,,,,the thing is the professorial cables are too large for car use and you cannot bend them to get a good neat job. you can spend ££££££££ on special gold plated plugs etc that have a cheap piece of cable in the middle

Do not coil any spare cable if you can avoid it

Excellent advice, thank you.

One less problem once this is sorted.

Parts purchased, installation after lunch and hopefully late afternoon we will have a working rear view camera.

I see the do remote things now using a video sender, that might be a solution in mine as the wires will be very hard work to get through the car

link?

In order to create an earth, could I use the bolt thread from the light cluster? It goes through the body and is tightened via a bolt, if I place the wire between these two, should this work?

 

[television]

Yes that will be fine for an earth, I will find the link

Hi Television,

I have an issue.

I connected it all up......and the screen remains blank.

I then disconnected the male rca for the video and touched it around the female connector. The screen flickers.....any idea how to get the video to work?

What have I done wrong? I do have another camera and it does the same thing.

You have got power going to the camera

Come again??? What do you mean?

The camera is already has power? How?

 

[television]

The camera surely must have a live feed, they cannot be self powered via a video input

You can test the socket on the lead going in by plugging a standard video camera or signal from any TV video output

Is the live feed preventing the camera from working?

Would my installation be compromising the circuit?

I had to extend the two wires that send the power to the camera.

Once I connect the video camera from the house and turn it on, should the navigation display?

You can plug any video source into the RCA female jack and you should get a good picture to test
