If it does work, how can i get the power for the transmitter and the receiver? For the receiver, i was thinking the cigarette plug in the glove box For the transmitter, i have no idea :S

The wireless transmitter is so cheap, why not just try it?

If you have a 2010 model with the iPod interface, there is a video input available in the glove box (use the 3.5 mm jack and a conversion cable to RCA Red, White and Yellow female plugs), as well as the 12 volt outlet. You will not have to pull the COMAND unit to access the back for the video connection, nor will you have to thread a cable from the trunk. I did read somewhere that you may have to locate the transmitter inside the cabin, and not leave it in the trunk (for the signal to be strong enough). The power for the transmitter can come from the same location as the camera, or from the cable to one of the switched 12 volt outlets which can be accessed from the fuse panel in the right side of the trunk.

Why go through that hassle the video line is easy to run. Took less than 10 minutes to run from the camera to the HU. The whole job took less than an hour and that includes clean up.

Hey Ron JR bro! Can you please help me solve one question? I am planning to order the Kenwood CMOS-200(the newer version of the CCD-2000). The following diagram I downloaded from Kenwood website.

Attachment 197447
Do I connect just the purple wire to the reverse wire or I have to connect both purple and red wire to the reverse wire?

Ron Jr

From that diagram I would say yes. The prurple seems to be a trigger telling the camera that you are in reverse while the red is the actual power. BTW I don't have the Kenwood camera I went with Audiovox, why you ask well my local car audio store had it in stock and I like to support local business. Really no difference.
