Thank you for this writeup!! This helped me out a lot in installing my XAV-AX100. I have a few remaining questions that I'm hoping someone with more experience than I can answer:

1. For the grounding, if I want to use that supplemental ground connector from the car, would I have to cut its connector and splice it in with solder/twist cap?
2. I grounded my parking brake wires on the recommendation of people online, and now the BRAKE light is constantly illuminated on my dash. How to I get that to go away? Should I take the e-brake wires out of my bundle of grounds?
3. The rearview camera works great when I put it into reverse, but not when I click the "Camera" button on my head unit. Is there some way to rewire it so it will work in both cases?

Thanks again for putting together this info man, if I could give you rep points or whatever then I would!
