I used the wiring from the original video switch. Red for hot, black/green for ground, white for reverse. And yes, some Einstein at Thor I guess couldn't read a wiring diagram, white should have been ground and black/green should have been reverse, pays to check. Hey it works and that's what counts. I used a Ram mount to install, I already had it and a mounting disc glued in what turned out to bee the perfect position. I used Jerry's idea and cut a small notch in the removable dash cover, worked perfect. Thanks Jerry! I didn't wire the turn signal triggers, only the backup trigger. I think I figured out the mystery purple wire, I'm guessing it's for audio?

I now have great views that I don't have to lean over to see! My only complaint is the almost black and white picture I have, very little color. I tried adjusting but attribute the poor color to what are probably inexpensive cameras from Thor. At some point I will probably change the rear camera to something better!

I adjusted my contrast on the monitor and more color can be seen but not much...you are right, cheap color cameras for sure!
