I've read through 29 of the DIY threads on here but I can't find the answer. TVandNav2go has changed the unit and it doesn't look like any of the previous pictures. I'm trying to install it along with the Kenwood CMOS-200.

Here's the latest unit:



Here are the instructions they sent:



And I can't figure out which set of red/green/black/blue/white wires I should be using. Both? I don't know. There is a dedicated "power" plug with all of those cable colors on the far right. Then there is a separate group of those same colors attached to RCA cables, as seen here:



I tapped into power at the cigarette lighter (as per one of the DIY threads here) and connected that to the "12v" RED wire in the power plug (right side). I connected the green cable from that same power plug to one of the reverse lights as per their instructions.

My questions are:

1. What do I do with all of the wires on the left (attached to the RCA plug)? Ground them?

2. What do I do with the blue wire on the right-side power plug? It's labeled ACC.

3. There are three wires coming off the camera unit--reverse, ACC (has a fuse), and ground. I know what to do with reverse and ground, but what do I do with ACC?

I don't recall any of the tutorials running multiple wires to the front of the car (other than for a switch), so I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance!

I can't edit the OP for some reason, but I just wanted to clarify that the power source I tapped for the TVandNav2go unit (cigarette lighter) is connected to the RED cable labeled 12v on the power plug on the right. This now includes a 5a fuse, which I don't think was the case in previous iterations.

Also, I just realized this is not called a DOM unit; it's just Dom's product (as in, Dominic). LOL.

Anyway to purchase the plug and play harness?

exlex

This is the PnP harness! Unfortunately only one aspect of the install is plug-and-play.

I sent an email off to sales... will post back if I get an answer tomorrow.

Ok, got my questions answered from Dominic (first thing this morning!).

1. the extra wires coming off the RCA connection are not necessary for this application. Dom said they're there for aftermarket Navi purposes.

2. The blue wire on the right side power plug also needs to tap into that 12v source, so I just hooked this up to the same wire running from my cigarette tap-in.

3. The "reverse light" purple wire on the Kenwood CMOS-200 should NOT tap into the reverse lights. This is some miscellaneous wire for kenwood head units and isn't necessary for the install. Instead, I needed to use the ACC / fused wire and hook this up to the reverse lights.

So far so good! Need to adjust the mounting a little bit (may need some washers so I get less bumper in the view) and tuck all the wires in. I might do an additional DIY tutorial with the new unit.

Wow...the older model was much simpler.

Just installed a rear view also this past weekend

I thought the where still selling the old black unit.....anything new with this one????

exlex

I don't know anything about the old one, other than that it has different wiring.

This one has an improved exterior case, so it has that going for it. I paid $215 shipped.
