Not sure if yours is the same, but mine automatically selects V1 when the Blue
Wire is OPEN and V2 when the blue wire has +12 V. I hooked mine up to a DPDT
switch with a center off position so I could have ON-OFF-AUTO. The Blue wire
is hooked up to the common terminal of them switch, the Reverse lights are on
one leg and a +12 constant source on the other leg. I really like being able
to flip it on any any time I want while pulling the trailer.

Hi guys..
bought an E-bay special backup camera system for my Suburban... wonb t be
installed permanently but used in different vehicles to hook up trailers.
Will fab a bracket to hang the camera over the tailgate and the monitor
will
be in the cab.
there is a 7b monitor with a red/black for 12 volts and two video feed
lines for V1 and V2. and a Blue wire they tell me to hook up to the back
up
light.
there is a camera with a red/black for 121 volts and a video o/p cable
that
goes to V1 or V2 on the monitor.
Ib m assuming the blue wire is a trigger to turn on the camera when
backing... but I want it on all the time so I assumed to hook it up to
12volt
source.
all I get when hooking up as above is a white light flashing on the monitor
and no video at all Ib ve tried it with and without the blue wire, blue
wire to ground and blue wire to 12volt +
nothing works..... any backinup gurus out there ???
I can email a sketch of wiring if anyone wants it
thanks
John
