Late cars dont have the brown green on the pin, You can take the feed from the boot. Personally for the extra wiring I would not use wireless but go wired its easy to run the video cable from the boot to the unit.

The pink cable has to be connected to the brown/green one. Mine was in this connector
which I cut and then connected to the pink cable.
This activates the unit when reverse is selected. Even works when the head unit is turned off. Very clever in my books. I extended mine by using a bit of old household cable from an old appliance. It gave me a bit more room to pull the unit out so I could work on it.
I have since been back in and replaced all the large chocolate-box connectors with smaller ones I got from B&Q. Looks a lot neater now.
Nope not a pain; everyone struggles with understanding something at some time. I still haven't got the DVB-T box working and I still have a whistling on Am Radio and fuzziness on FM. Problems with aerial signals. Hopefully one day at a meet someone can fix it for me.
The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask.
