Finally, I like the look of that Rydeen - any chance you can spread your good deal around to us FT86Club members?

By the way, the lines/text are from the camera itself I believe. At least that's how other cameras have worked for me.

Here - found this on Rydeen's site:
The grommet had nothing running through it, seemed like it was basically made for a back up cam/ rear laser diffuser.

The Rydeen camera does have its own lines, I had already disabled them, the ones on the screen are in fact from the Radio, when I first hooked it up it had both sets of lines. Basically I had to connect two green wires in the camera cables to disable those.

What did you use to power the camera? Back-up lighting?
I have not tried it without the pin in the harness but I do know when that wire wasn't grounded I did not get the camera to come on, so I would say yes.

And yes I used the reverse light wire to power the camera.
