I can't see the wire harness from the photo, but there should be more than 2 wires. What kind of car is it going into. I should be able to pull up a wire diagram from work here to let you know which wires to tag for power, ground, and accessory. Let me know bud AIM: XtremeCRX89

I just fixed one of these for one of my friends the other day... the red is +12V and the black is ground. Plug in the video sourcce to the yellow rca jack and hit the round button.... it should come on

okay I have plugged in the yellow white and red to the video source. The black and red wire which is the power wire need to connected in a 12v source. How do I run the power with these wires?

Jojoy,

I see that you have a aftermarket pioneer headunit installing in your car, you can piggy the power wire and ground of the Lcd to the power wire and ground of the Pioneer.

Take the pioneer out, tap the ground (black) of the LCD to the ground (black) of the Pioneer, tap the power wire of the LCD to the Yellow wire of the Pioneer. Covering the tapping with electronic tape, you should be ok now.

And if you've not messed with the mobile's electronic at all before. I should do this way>


Do you see the end of the light in the above pic? You need to get the same thing like that by looking around in Radioshack, Sears or whatever. Cut the wire from the light, connect your wires of the LCD to the wire, plug that thing into the cigarette light output, and that's it.

Hope you have fun doing it.

i personally would not have hooked into the power and the ground of the radio, unfortunatly i dont think in the long run it has enough juice to do both, just an opinion
