So do I have to connect the red wire that is coming from the yellow connector at the back of the DD unit. Or have I not connected it all properly.

Would be nice to get it working.
You need to connect the double din wire marked 'back or reverse' to the 12volt reversing wire of the car loom as well. The reversing wire in the car loom is green/brown.
You can connect this either from the back of the head unit where you should find that wire on a small black plug that isn't connected.
Or you can use the trace red wire on the phono plug and connect that to the reverse power at the boot end and the other end onto the 'back/reverse' wire of the head unit
