Thanks to all! much appreciated!
I think im in the same boat as you Lancer1993, i had a look at everything yesterday and there seems to be 4 wires for the camera, obviously 1 is power and 1 is earth and there are 2 more which get moulded to the RCA plug. But after i stripped the thicker cable protector so that i can extend the power and ground cables so i can hook up to the reversing lights there is only 1 thicker cable for the RCA which i think might be all in one. Plus the manual for the camera says nothing about a trigger wire.
Hmmmm i might just hook it up and see what happens since the camera and the head unit are the same brand it may just kick in when the camera gets power. I know which wire i need to tap into for the reversing lights cause my car had already come with reversing sensors so i just going tap into that same cable (for anyone else its the thicker solid white wire in the boot =)).
But either way looks like i have to wait an other week for my front camera so im gonna have to take it all apart again next weekend so if it doesnt work ill just re run an other cable from the boot to the front (now that i know where it all fits =))
