Is there any way you could give me more specific instructions on the relay? Basicly just what relay to use and where to get it. It should be pretty simple to wire up... But I have never installed a relay before.

Since I'm sure I would confuse you by trting to explain it, check out the link Im posting. It is real easy to understand. Just read the relay stuff. A little further down the page it talks about adding a switch and stuff, just ignore that.

I bought my relay at Radio Shack for $6. I'ts pretty similar to the one in the picture. It will have the diagram on the side of it that shows what post is power, ground, source and switched. Look at the relay you buy, follow the link I gave you and you will be fine. Just so you know, I used a fuse tap to tap into a fuse at the fuse box in the passanger kick panel. Theres also a ground stud right on the side in the kick panel that I used. So to go by the picture in that link, #1 went to the revers light wire in the passanger door sil, #2 ground, #3 went to the fuse panel and #5 went to the "camera turn on" wire in the head unit.

I hope this helps. If you need any more info let me know. Heres the link.

And heres a link to the relay I used. Any Bosch or Hella relay of the like will be fine.
