Color Function Notes
Brown Telemute Activates when connected to ground.
For example, when you connect this
wire to a compatible, hands-free mobile
kit, the audio mutes or the input
switches to Aux1 when a call is received
and the kit connects this wire to ground.
You can enable this functionality from
the settings menu.
NOTE: This wire is not used for all
vehicles.
Pink Reverse Connects to an analog high signal, such
as the reverse light, to activate the
backup camera when the vehicle is
placed in reverse.
Red/black House Connects to a 12 Vdc connection for the
RV house power to turn the stereo on
when the house power is turned on.

Connecting Vehicle and Backup Cameras
You can connect up to four analog vehicle cameras to the
infotainment system for backup, left, right, and front cameras.
1
For each camera, route the camera's RCA analog video
cable to the back of the stereo.
You should clearly label each cable for reference when you
are connecting them to the stereo.
2
For each camera, determine the analog high signal that
should trigger the stereo to display the camera, and route a
wire for that signal to the back of the stereo.
For example, you can use a reverse signal to trigger the
backup camera when the vehicle is put in reverse, or you can
use turn signal to trigger a side mirror camera.
3
Connect each RCA analog video cable to the VIDEO IN
connectors on the back of the stereo, as shown.

harness ( Power and Speaker Wiring Harness , page 2 ).
5 Connect the analog high signal wire for each of the other
cameras to the appropriate camera detect wire of the analog
signal detect harness ( Analog Signal Detect Wiring Harness ,
page 3 ).
NOTE: If you do not want to trigger a camera automatically,
you should leave that camera detect wire disconnected.
