I had that same question. However, I just checked it out a few minutes ago. It works great in the dark as well. I guess your reverse tail lights produce enought light!

biglg.....Where & how did you mount this camera? I'm looking at this one too. Do you know if it is weather-proof?

I have about 10 pictures there. I dont know about weatherproof, but I would imagine so. It is made to be installed on the outside of a vehicle so I would think it would be weatherproof.

Ok, I am in the mist of installing the camera. Couple of questions:

On the brown plug (C4) I only have 3 wires:
5 D-GN/WH 817 Vehicle Speed Signal (UVC)
6 PK 6972 Camera Signal #2 + (UVC)
7 L-BU 6973 Camera Signal #2 (UVC)

There are no other wires. Can I simply cut wire 6 and 7 and wire them into the camera? Do they have any other function anywhere else?

Also, where are you guys wiring the camera power leads to? I noticed a powerplug on the passenger side in the cargo area that I was thinking about using. I also thought about tying into the reverse lights so the camera is only powered when in reverse. Any comments?

Yes you can hardwire right to the 6 and 7 pins for the video if you'd like. Not sure what to tell you on the power question.

I am almost done. All wires are run and connectors are put on them. However, does it make a difference on how the polarity of the video feed is hooked up? If so, which is the postive video feed. I have the power right.

For reference:
Red - positive 6v
black - negative 6v
yellow - ??
white - ??

FYI - I ran the power for the camera off the reverse lights and put the 12v-6b converter behind the passenger side trim piece above the rear tail light (inside). Side note - the rear tail lights are a PITA to get off.

Sounds like you're all over it. The polarity does matter, and here's the beautiful thing with video. It doesn't matter if you reverse it. Try it both ways, when the video pops up you got it. You won't hurt anything if you reverse it. My assumption is yellow + and white for -.
