scroller Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'm trying to work out the right way to wire in a Kenwood reversing camera to a Kenwood head unit in my Mk5 Legacy wagon. The harness which comes with the camera has an easy plug connection at the camera end then a yellow plug and two bare wires, red and black at the other end. The yellow plug goes into the appropriate socket at the back of the unit but then I get confused. Also coming out of the back of the head unit is a short wire labelled "reversing sensor". The camera needs power and the head unit needs to know when I select reverse - which wire goes where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shms Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 surely the red is12v supply and the black is earth/ground ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Without seeing the kit itself I believe shms to be correct. The wire labelled as reversing sensor should take a 12v feed from your reversing light cct this tells that head unit that you have selected reverse You could also wire the red to the same cct or have a switch on the dash Black is ground / earth http://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/412138/kenwood-kvt-524dvd.html?page=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
