At the end of the day...here's a picture of my truck (I'm still knee deep in restoring it). And a picture of it with my boat (which is why I bought the darn thing to begin with). Not sure how I let myself get sucked into these crazy electronic experiments...but I guess that they're fun.
Finally,..as noted in the earlier threads..the view screen has TWO video inputs. One is obviously for the rear backup camera...but the other is for something like a DVD or whatever. I have an Iphone5. So I got a lightning to VGA converter. The VGA plugs into a VGA to RCA converter and then...
**Solution** One way diode. I bought one for about $2 at RadioShack. I'm including a picture. Go to the reverse light side of the connection to the camera power. Install (solder) in the diode with the band on the reverse light side of the line. When you put your truck in reverse, the...

Step 1. Purchase any sort of simple on/off toggle switch. Mine was $3 at RadioShack.
Step 2. I purchased a fuse tap which basically sticks in place of your fuse...the fuse plugs into it and it provides a spare power lead that you can use for whatever (see...

Ok will do. I'll submit some pics and a walkthrough (probably won't have time and daylight until Saturday). One interesting wrinkle was that when I applied direct power to the camera via the manual switch, it power up the reverse lights. I figured that the guy behind me on the highway may not...
Hey guys,
Quick synopsis: My elderly mother never saw a QVC deal that she doesn't like. With this in mind, she was compelled to purchase a backup camera system (Pyle PLCM7200 7-Inch). But then she didn't want to install it in her Lexus so she offered it to me (I reluctantly agreed...<evil...
