This is how to hook up the Pyle PLCM7300BT:
On the license plate camera, plug the black cable provided with 2-wires inside (one red and one black) to its counterpart on the camera. On the open end of this black cable, strip and connect the black wire to the car/truck metal body part.
Connect the red wire from the camera and the green wire from the monitor (part of the big black cable from the monitor) to the power wire to the back-up lamp socket.
Connect the Red wire from the monitor to a switched terminal on the fuse box so that it would only have power when you have the ignition key on.
The rest of the wiring is simple and common sense.
To operate, turn on the ignition of you car/truck and put it on reverse you should see the camera view. Put the car/truck on Park, the monitor screen should go back, if not, push the power button once.
To set up the blue tooth: Push the power button on the monitor so that you can see the blue screen and "no Input". Put your phone on discoverable mode and push scan for device. AT the same time push the "pair" button on the monitor.
I did all the figuring out on the bench using a 12 VDC power supplies and contact switches to make sure I understood how it worked. Once installed on my 1988 Suburban, it worked as expected.
The only problem I had to patch the long green wire (reverse car) so that it reached the back-up light socket.

So let me get this straight I can turn the unit off by pressing the on and off button on the side. This just makes the screen go blank while the transmission is in reverse. But you are saying thatI need to get them to power the unit reverse lights.
I just talked with the installer and he said that he DID attach the power to come on only when I put the car in reverse. I noticed, when I drive the car, that (while I am in Drive, I was looking at a blue screen "Audio-Video".
I guess that (assuming that the installer did connect the power to only come on when the car is in reverse) I must have a defective unit. My bone to pick is with Pyle.
But (I noticed while I was driving the car) that (on the right side of the monitor), there is an "on - off" button. It seems like turning the unit "off" while I am driving would accomplish the same thing (turn the monitor back into a mirror). I guess that I am mistaken.
Thanks'
I send an email to Pyle support but I am not holding my breath.
