    my van has a reverse camera on the back but no screen on the dash i think i have found the wiring for it under the passenger seat with a yellow and red jack plug and as the van is 23ft long we are keen to get some sort of reverse sensor in place
    i have been on good old ebay and and can get a 7in lcd screen,what a was wondering is what else i would need to get it up and running :rolleyes:

    my head is spinning trying to follow all this rsa stuff thanks to you guys for trying to keep us abreast of it all :confused:

    You should need nothing else. I would check that the system works first by pluging the red and yellow plugs into the back of a normal tv. Do you know how the camera is powered?? Off the reverse light or maybe the side lights?

    you will only need the yellow lead for the picture red is sound if its the same plug as the yellow one , if not its a power supply lead some come with a 12v plug coming direct up to the front from the camera mostly these are on camera systems that are used on transformers ie on a household application !

    if it were me id connect the power to the reverse lights so select reverse and on comes the camera or on a switch on the dash so u can keep an eye on things behind you especially if causing tailbacks :p

    best of luck with it , im looking to fit a reversing camera next week to my caddy as i cant see out the back and am using a rear view mirror mountable screen and a camera that will attach under the grab handle il post some pics when the stuff arrives
