Will this camera installation works
I want to power the camera with the reverse lights but also to be able to manual turn it on while driving
Will this set up works.
The aftermarket radio(dnx571hd) has a violet wire that need to be connected to the camera .
Under regular install will switching to accessory screen power the camera while driving or the extra switch is needed

I found this
"
run the power wire for the camera up to the red ACC wire at the radio and hook the reverse wire from the radio up to the reverse light. this way the camera will only be on when the radio is turned on so it can be manually selected when ever you want, and also the radio will switch over to it when the car is in reverse automatically."
I guess not need for the switch or diode. Also the unit is supposed to turn camera on whee pressed aux for a few sec

to me, i think it would still need a diode, so that the feedback doesnt back to the radio. Why risk not putting a diode in there for assurance, though?
your lights may turn on every time you flip the switch or turn the camera on with the radio LOL
will be interesting to find out.

Thamk you for your replay
I just finished the install .. CAME OUT GREAT
Camera 12v wire connected to the Radio power ( this way the camera only got power while the key is on )
Most aftermarket units had a purple wire which goes to the Reverse wire ( driver side black box next to the brake pedal " light green wire , top,right") . this allows the unit to switch to camera when reverse is selected
The Kenwood DNX571HD had an option, pressing the Tel button for 1 sec turn screen to Cam view , even while driving , so no need for a second switch or the diode
Do not connect camera power 12v directly to the reverse lamps if you want to see camera while driving (this way camera will be powered only while reverse is selected)
Here it is the info for the camera installed

Thanks for the update!
This'll save me a lot of time in the future. Great upgrade.
Wow, mine looks washed out in comparison to yours!
I'll be bookmarking this for later projects.
Two quick questions.
1. Was the wiring difficult?
2. Can you view the reverse camera while driving?

Running the wire was very easy with this setup the camera mount to the Lisence plate . Which comes with white LED light . Looks much better than factory plate light .
Wire was run as showed in this video :
Camera while driving?
Here it is the asnwer to your question
However the turning screen for rear camera depends on the connection and the aftermarket unit
I guess most comes with this feature
Let me know if can help with any thing else
