Trigger wire for back up camera.

Caskin · 3rd April 2021, 14:50

Hi Guys I am in the process of fitting a reversing camera to my E46 media unit.
With the set came a number of looms, one of the looms is marked Video and camera.
This loom has a number of cables, one cable is marked Back up Cam,and the other a much smaller and thinner wire, blanked off, is marked reverse.

My interface cable merges with two cables from camera , this terminates to a male plug which will connect directly into cable on loom provided, marked "back up cam."

As I understand it the small red wire, separate from my interface cable, marked reverse is the video trigger wire for the video, does it have to be connected? If so, to where please?
