It still works because the camera also gets ground via the RCA plug/jack.
See pin-out of the 16-pin socket and more info here.
If you run the camera's ground lead to the back of the HU, you'll want to use pin #15, which is below the pin you use for camera power (#7). But if your camera's ground lead is short and ends near the camera (as is the case on most eBay cameras), you can just connect the camera's ground lead to a good chassis ground point somewhere near the camera at the back of the car -- no need to extend that to the HU. |
Thanks for taking the time to point out my error. I will move that ground wire when I'm in there next time. I'd have never known as the camera works fine.
