Looks like an OEM speaker connection.

I could use a bit of help installing my rear view camera. The connecters aren't the same as my old one so it looks like I'll be running a whole new wire.
I'm trying to figure out what plugs in where. Please help me make sure I'm connecting things right.
Starting from the left:
Black plug: camera plugs into this.
Red wire: tap into green reverse light?? (what is the best way to do this without soldering?)
Black/Red wire: tap into black reverse light wire?? (what is the best way to do this without soldering?)
Yellow plug: Rear of head unit
Red wire coming off yellow plug: No freaking clue

Cut and splice with butt connectors. Ultimately, soldering is your best/ most secure way of doing it.

See answer above.

Yes.

Not sure. I'd think it wasn't necessary but it may be for another ground to lessen any kind of noise/ interference you may get in the video.
See above.

Also, when you use crimping butt conntlectors, you want to use a ratcheting crimp tool.

Thanks guys.
I think I may just try soldering it since I found out my buddy has a soldering gun. I didn't want to have to go buy one, although I guess it would be useful to have.

They're cheap enough to have one just in case. It's a very useful tool. I have 4 soldering guns and they all have gotten many hours of use.

I have a couple electric ones and one butane one. Definitely handy little tools.

I guess my first go with soldering went well considering the wires were dangling about an inch or two below the inside of the raised trunk lid. At least I was smart enough to lay down some cardboard underneath or it would have been pretty bad lol. Now I just need to run the wires as cleanly as possibly to the headunit this weekend and I should be good to go. Thanks for the help fellas.

Glad you got it figured out. The true test comes when it works properly.

While messing around with my rear view camera, I came across a connecter that wasn't plugged into anything. I don't see anything near it to plug into, any ideas what it is for?
stock speaker connector..

Anyone know anything about the Kenwood KIV-701? I found that, the kenwood ipod connector, and the single din metra kit for under $300 shipped and was thinking about getting it. I know the screen is small as hell but I only want it to see my back up camera and for playing my Ipod. I don't care that it doesn't play dvds or cds.

Thanks, after digging around in the trunk for a while I found the other connector on the other side tucked away.

I haven't heard about Kenwood stuff in ages. If it does what you want, then check out some reviews on how well it performs and how well it lasts. Everyone has their preferences in stuff, so take the reviews with a grain of salt.

I finally managed to get it all hooked up! Believe it or not, that little red wire sticking out of the yellow plug had to be tapped into the HU harness. I had wondered why the original camera had two cords ran from the camera to the HU and the new camera only had one!
Thanks to all that helped.
