Years ago I bought a Pyle Commercial grade PLCMTR71 Back up camera system to install in my blind Astro van. Needless to say it set on the shelf in the box never to be installed so I dug it out to install it in my Ford Expedition and made a mount for one of my cup holders. Then got thinking I better try it out to test it and learn more about it before I do any butchering for installation. Well I hooked it up to a battery today with supplied parts following their minimal instructions and got it to turn on and went thru their menu but can't seen to get the camera to produce a picture on the monitor. There is 1 yellow RCA jack that didn't get used because there was no wire to hook to it or a place to plug it in. I found a phone # on line which I'll call tomorrow if I have to. But though about all the smart cookies in here and figured I'd Tap a resource. Anyone ever install this beast before ?

Thanks in advance and I did just think of running a separate ground wire from the camera mount to the battery !
