Where do you place the red wire of an aftermarket rearview camera?

Model: (Various brands) Various

When deciding to install an aftermarket rearview camera on a car that does not come standard with one, we must have some knowledge of electronics, as these devices are rarely plug & play, and navigating through the various wire connections may not be within everyone's reach. The YouTuber gives us a suggestion regarding the question: where does the red wire go? We would have already connected the red and black wire to the reverse light. If we have a reverse-count connector with a wire that splits, we can connect it to the orange cable, otherwise we must look for the pink wire - which is the back wire - that goes from the CANBUS to the radio connector. Usually this wire does not have a third connection wire, so we must connect it to the connecting PIN. And it will work.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
