Thanks, I am definitely adding a backup camera. I like the way it serves as a rearview mirror also. You killed two of my wishlist items with one mod. Thanks!

Anytime. I have the IR illuminator on the camera which sounds silly BUT it is helpful. We sometimes predator hunt at night so the IR lights up behind me to backup without having to turn the LEDs on.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me

Just a quick question here, if I have more I'll PM...

What make/model camera did you use? And did it come with a screen, or is that a separate item?

Thanks.

I went and looked it up as I really had no idea:
Amazon.com : 7 inch TFT LCD Digital Car Rear View Monitor with Waterproof Car Rear View Camera combo : Vehicle Backup Cameras : Electronics

It is a little under $40 for the camera and the screen - not the worlds best but works fine in my case and if you want you can always use a better camera. I had the same one on a RZR-4 and it held up well so that is really the reason I bought another one. Figured the picture quality is not as good as the one on our SUV but for $40 and it held up on a RZR, power washing and one time the kids "washing" the screen it was good enough.
The whole thing started out as an experiment - I wonder if these would work on my RZR because I can't see anything behind me once we add a cooler to the bed. Well it worked pretty well and I found I really liked having it. My wife loves it because she can see a stump or something low that is behind the machine that she could never see just looking behind her.

What the heck is the red wire for on both ends of the RCA extension cable for the camera?

Probably 12 volts +

Probably but both the LCD screen and the Camera already have 12v leads on them. My best guess is that the red lead on the RCA extension could be used to carry the 12v signal from the rear backup lights to the front and connect to the blue lead on the screen instead of having to try and locate the backup light lead up in the wiring harness.
