Rear View Camera Install
Is there any write up for how to install the rearview camera for a Maxima yet? I can figure out what end goes to the headunit but I cannot for the life of me figure out where the red and black wires go.
And once I figure that out, to tap into my reverse wire I would need to run down the trunk to the hinges then back to the reverse wire right?

Black wire goes to a ground, red goes to ACC power, purple goes to the reverse lights and the yellow RCA plug into the video input on the receiver. I see you have an 04. I have an 07(has different radio/info screen) and the reverse signal was in the stock radio harness. Might not be there on the 04-06 models but you could find it with a test light as you probe the stock radio harness then tap into the reverse lights right there.

Power and ground it is. Mine had a video switch/diplexer that sent power and video through one wire. Yours does not, nothing wrong with it. The camera i got was a high end kenwood camera three or four years ago. It gives an awesome picture at daytime or dusk and an alright picture at night.

Yea this one is a cheap Pyle camera from amazon for $28 shipped. The reviews were average so I figure if its not that great I won't be out too much. I also didn't want to drill any holes.

I have no idea how Im going to get through the license plate finisher. Im still working on that process, I guess Ill just figure it out while Im installing it.. These wires are very thin so hopefully I can just squeeze them through somewhere.

The license plate finisher is a pain in the *** to get off. Its held in by two bolts and like five clips that are a ***** to make them come out. I ended up cutting the top's of two of them off. Went back on fine without the two clips.

Camera
I know this post is old but I need help too.
I have a Maxima 04 SL and that same camera with a Pioneer AVX-H1500DVD unit.
I connected Red and Black cables to reverse lights.
Camera works fine, while the camera is in reverse. Problem is when I shift to drive or whatever, the screen is black, like if the camera is gonna turn on, but stays black. If i thouch the screen everything is normal, but within a few seconds the black screen comes back.
Could it be the cables?
