Yeah there is nothing like having a hardwired camera. Congrats… Yeah there is nothing like having a hardwired camera.

This works great, and thanks to all for your help. Glad a stumbled upon this blog. I will be checking back, noted some other interesting topics. Well, I got working both ways.

He mentioned using that instead... "we switched to a 1/8″ male-male TRS cable and it worked just fine." BTW Keith used a regular 3.5mm TRS. He mentioned using that instead…

The only real risk I can think of is that extra pressure will weekend and may break the port of the pcm. Yes you can use that type but it actually too tight.

The 3 rings will line up with the needed inputs. One RCA would be the video (tip), the other +12v (2nd ring) and the ground the base of the 3.5mm. Ground is common to both RCAs. The one not used in the VR3 would not be affected. I will prove it out to be sure but this is what a quick continuity check says. BTW, found out a stereo cable would work just as well.

That's how they are bypassing the RF transmitted video, by using a totally separate circuit for hardwired video. OK.. got some modding to do to the cable to get this sucker working. Will report back! thanks T! That’s makes total sense now. That’s how they are bypassing the RF transmitted video, by using a totally separate circuit for hardwired video.

I tried wiring up in that fashion but found using the voltmeter that the power wasn’t being transferred to the power/video input. I thought the same thing about the power.

Based on your finding that does not seem to be true. I did take note of the stampings on the board inside, but then again, figured I did not need power into the video input connector if I had it elsewhere. But it is not working that way, so I will need to provide power through the other leads. I am using a CCD from Boyo BTW. But it should not really matter. I'll try it and report back.

This worked for both a 3.5″ and 2.5″ monitor version. The camera I am using is an audiovox.

I am picking up the appropriate cable this week. I was going to order up the proprietary cable from VR3 it's 3mm to 3mm, designed to interface into their cam, but this should work the same and cheaper too. I'll report back when I try it.
