Dom's Unit, Just recieved it...few questions on hookup!

OK, fantastic shipping, ordered it yesterday, recieved it today.

Just a few questions on everything

- 2 white wires coming out of main unit = ground?
- green wire = "hand brake" (ground of course)
- 2 wires coming off the push plug for the units powoer - 1 power 1 ground (1 labeled power, the other ground?)
- 1 wire coming from DB9 cable - ground
- blue wire (12v camera) - goes to the 12v on the reverse lights?

So if i'm correct, i'm grounding 5 wires?

huh? I don't have that - I do have the on/off switch that controls video 1.

I did not connect this at all, not even ground.

1 for harness
1 for reverse light
1 for power

What I did was bunch these three together and cramp them to a U connector and bolt that to the default location.

White ones are the ground. I untwisted the blue/white (camera trigger) and bunch the white one, with the power ground (black) and the harness (black), cramp them all together, and then bolt it to the ground bolt.
