Okay, so I just recieved my DVD monitor today in the mail!
 It's nice real nice! But one thing.....the instructions are in Japanese  ! So I was wondering if anyone ever installed one of these before. There are three wires that come out of the back, a black, red, and yellow. I figure that one is for power one is for ground, but what is the other one for?? Any Ideas??

 This is how pretty much every deck is, DVD decks have a few more wires but nothing too complicated. DTE -------------------- I am a thief.

I just had a thought, .. if you dont know what the wires are for, and were they go, you shouldnt be intsalling it in the first place...

Hey I saved $110 by doing it this way, the instruction manual is in Japanese, and the only way to know how to do something is either by reading, doing it your self (trial and error), or asking. So chill out!

You got it working ok, or ?
Some monitors also require a "handbrake" line. Some places have laws against monitors that work when the parking brake is off

yeah on the back of the Deck, the Red Wire comes on with the Ignition, and the Yellow is the constant. They just call them different never understood why. But the Yellow wire is on all the time to remember your presets, and clock.

Usually it Goes like this....
Red- Ignition Yellow- Constant Black-Ground White- Left Speaker + White-Black- Right Speaker - Grey- Right Speaker + Grey/Black- Right Speaker - Green- Right Speaker + Green/Black- Right Speaker - Purple- Left Speaker + Purple/Black - Left Speaker - Yellow/Blue- Emergency Brake* Brown- Reverse Lights** *- If you dont connect this the DVD wont work, its for saftey so that if the brake isnt up it dosent play. if u dont care about saftey...ground that wire. **- thats for if u got a camera connectted to it and you put it in reverse it will switch it to that camera Any other Wires tell me wht they are ill tell you wht their for |

Got it working and its sick!! I'll have to post some pics@!! But, I hooked up the RCA (white and red) to the back of my kenwood head unit but its kinda screwy!! It only plays on the front speekers and is only ONE volume!!
Why?? Does anyone have any info on this? do I have to set up an FM modulator?
