By browsing through similar threads I've seen people talk about the use of relays but I'm not sure how I'd use one in this situation. I only have this single wire that branches off from the video cable:

I can't use the front of the vehicle as the wire is fixed to the video cable wire. I tried loosely wiring to these connectors:

But the results were inconsistent to say the least. I also tried wiring to whatever these connectors are:

To no avail. What are my options here? :rolleyes:
 
Your camera needs a switched positive (hot in reverse, off otherwise). The LS switches ground instead. You do need a relay.

Reverse bulb+ should be Orange/black (left side) or Orange/green (right side).
Reverse bulb- should be Black/green (left side) or Black/red (right side).
The connection labeled Head Unit is your single red wire.

Awesome diagram. I'll be picking up some relays from Amazon then. What is the line labeled 87A?
