Nice one, about time you won one my friend, is nearly twice the price you paid.

Nice one, about time you won one my friend, the camera alone is nearly twice the price you paid.
Wow i am tempted to put it back on ebay for £100

The LCD screen has 2 video inputs so if you power the screen via the ignition you can use input 1 for a DVD player etc and input 2 for the reversing camera. You then need to power the camera from the reversing light circuit so that the screen will switch automatically to the reversing view when you engage reverse gear.
Edit: I see that both the screen and the camera are 12v so no need to worry about voltages. (most in-car cameras are 5v) You bagged a bargain getting the package for £7.99

Well the easy bit is you connect the male plugs on the long wire to the female socket on the little camera and the female socket on the monitor.
Presumably you have another short cable that will plug into the red socket on the little camera. You then need to splice this into the power cable that goes to one of the reversing lights. You will also need to find a way of earthing the camera to the bodyshell.
The red cable coming from the monitor obviously goes to a 12 volt supply via the ignition and the black to earth.
Without reading the instructions, presumably you do have instructions, the rest would be guesswork.

Can you also scan any diagrams that came with it (possibly on the outside of the box)
