From the factory wiring harness is a short wire labeled "Reverse Gears Signal imput", it's Violet/White.Where does it go?

This is kind of difficult to connect as you need to identify the wire which send current to the reverse lights and connect it to that.... For every vehicle it's different hence I would suggest you get a technician to sort that out for you

I located the fuse that was labeled back up lights and connected it there. Use a simple test light to be sure you have that correct wire. You probably will have to connect it via a jumper wire. Nothing to difficult

Mount the unit under the rear of the vehicle, making sure that the frame of the unit is electrically connected to the frame of the vehicle. Connect the Main wire to the back-up light wire with a squeeze type T-connector. When you shift to reverse, the unit will operate. You have to connect the unit to the back-up lights and a chassis ground for the unit to know when you are in reverse. The unit is activated by the power fed to the back-up lights.

The only thing that i can think of is that the neutral and hot wires are backwards. Neutral should be white, hot should be black. A volt meter would be needed to be sure.

I have a turn signal wire I'm connecting the wires provided are black, yellow, brown. My turn signal light has black, white/brown stripe and green/stripe. which connects to which?

are you sure you connected the lead to the back up lights so it would know when you went into reverse? You could also try to reverse the inputs.

Mine didn't have a white wire. I used red=VDD, black=GND, and Yellow=Signal.

Mine came with the positive and negative wire harness which connects to my battery box .. Paul

Yes, the blue wire is the "trigger" wire, just like VL says, connect this blue wire along with the red wire to the back up light wire; this way, when you shift your vehicle to reverse, the back up light wire will give electricity to the monitor, and when you shift out of reverse, the monitor will shut off because there's no electricity going to it. Don't forget to connect the black wire to the ground first.

I would ask whoever installed it. I asked my son who installed it for my daughter. He said ask him if he has a wiring harness. The person who installed yours should know what that is.

In the 2008 Enclave it's in the rear driver side wheel well. By the jack. The cables are clipped to the outside wall. Once I figured out which wires were which it took 10 minutes start to finish.

The green/white wire from the main wiring harness from the head unit must be wired directly to either your shifter in an automatic car, or to the backup light reverse switch usually located on the transmission in a manual car. Either way, you would need either a test light, or a schematic for your particular car to know which wire in the car to connect the green/white wire from the head unit to. Once this is wired correctly, the camera's view will automatically be displayed on the screen - even if the entire screen is in the closed position (it will come out right away, and display the camera view). You can also turn on the camera view anytime from the main source screen, even if you are driving forward.

In the back of the factory head unit, there were three outlets with wire harnesses plugged in. Two of the harnesses matched the Metra 70-7550 perfectly and the third harness had only a couple wires and it was for the CD player of the head unit. I did not use this third harness when installing the new stereo. The new stereo harness matched all the wires of the Metra 70-7550 with the exception that the Metra harness had a set of orange wires, which the new radio harness did not. The orange wires are for the dimming function for the lights of the radio display so the display of the radio would dim when you dimmed the interior lights. I wasn't about to cut into the vehicles main harness to hook this up so I didn't. Just be sure to match all wires color for color to the Metra and you will have a quick and painless install. All in all, probably about 8 to 10 sets of wires I connected if I remember correctly. Sorry for the long answer but I hope this helps. Good Luck!

No, the reverse wire does not need to be connected for the other functions to work. Please check your fuse to make sure it is not blown. For further assistance please call us at 856-768-5700 ext 2 and a technical support specialist will be happy to assist you!

Sensors are wired to your reverse lights. Head unit has a lighter plug adapter.

There is a knob on a wire that leads from the harness connecting everything together. It's a pretty long wire.

Look for the plug on the passenger side by the firewall/fender. The plug isn't very long, it is possible that the wires are wrapped around other wires. Good luck.
