My camera has a black (negative?) and a red (positive?) wire when I spliced the yellow RCA. When I plug in the two wires into the gray connector as shown and put the car into reverse, the screen goes black but no video shows up. I tested the camera with my dvd player and the camera is not dead so what can be wrong?
Any ideas anyone? Did I fry my headunit?

Something seems wrong with your connections. Are you sure you tested each wire from the camera? If the HU is still powering up thens it not fried. If it's not try your fuse. I say just your wiring is wrong. Make sure to reread everything back over.

So 18 gauge crimp pins fit in the gray connector? Thinking about doing this and wanted to make sure i get the right size. Also where's a good place to source these?

Did this install today, went really well. Basically just pulled the rear bumper and most of the trunk, tapped into the reverse wire in the trunk, ran the wire through the kick panel on the drivers side and up to the head unit.
Here's the crimps I used, needed a bit of persuasion to work but work well. http://www.microcenter.com/product/3...tors_-_10_pack
Used this camera, will need to shim it to clear the bumper when mounted next to the license plate lights http://www.bestbuy.com/site/audiovox...&skuId=8732622
And last, here was the picture before the bumper was on, I can post a better one when its shimmed

Ahh okay, Yeah mine was a wire and the shielding, and the shielding ended up being the ground. And im guessing the camera is getting power?

The small yellow wire is the video +. The metal "sheilding" is video -.
Hook up the small yellow wire to video + and ground the sheilding and youll be good to go.

I guess I typed this post out wrong, sorry, but yeah, I have the yellow in '+' and the shielding wire (this is what I twisted together) in '-'.

Sure that the white wire is getting power when car is in reverse? I did all my wire connections up at the deck, so not sure what is at the back for power, did you try running power to the cam with another power source with video + and - hooked up ?

Yeah its getting power and the ground is good. There is about 1.3V coming from the "+" video signal before I input the connector into the back of the headunit when the car is in reverse. The camera is fine.
