And just so I don't fuck something up, where do I even plug it in at?

We may need to figure out how the shop fucked up your set up. It seems like they are lazy. Anyway, the best way to do it is to plug the cable into the AMP1 RCA inputs. Don't spend much on the cable also. Get the cheapest one you can find. Also, make sure the iPod volume is turned all the way down when you start out and slowly raise the volume. I'll PM you my number if you have any questions while you're doing this.

Plug in right where it says input. If you have multiple RCA inputs, unplug them (remember where they came from obviously) and plug that adapter in you posted. If you get sound, from the amp->out is good. Matter of fact, you may be able to do it from the 360 but I'm not familiar with the inputs of it.
Edit-Tim beat me to it.

The 360 is really pointless because it's basically a higher end line level converter. Since he's using an aftermarket h/u, it's useless. The shop was lazy and didn't want to do the work.

Well I looked at everything again before I went and bought anything and I'm glad I did. My capacitor looks like it took a beating during the accident and apparently one of the power wires slipped out of the terminal. I didn't notice it yesterday because it was still in the shrink wrap tubing but just barely touching the terminal, which I guess is why it would work for a second sometimes. I'm just glad for once it was an easy fix!
Thanks for the help fellas

New question!
My backup camera was destroyed in the accident. I wasn't going to replace it because I didn't feel like running the wires and shit all over. BUT when I was fixing my system I noticed these wires were taped up on the inside of the headliner in my trunk. My question is, if I get a new camera, can I just plug it into these wires and be good to go? The two wires that are electrical taped up had a yellow tag with writing on it. I noted in the picture what the writing said on each wire.
A lot of the rear view cameras I looked up seem to have different connections so I'm not sure what to do. For example:

You should be able to used the old harness if you get the same type of rearview cam you already had

The thing is, the camera came with the POS chinese HU I have. No clue where to get a new one, the company isn't even around anymore.

I'm not surprised the company isn't around anymore. Was the old camera the type that goes above the plate or was it a license plate light replacement type?

Back up cameras should all have the same signal wires. You should have power and ground and then 2 wires for the video signal.

I have one in my trunk keyhole. I just got an inexpensive one off of eBay. Where in Ontario are you again?
