Neckbone What type of car? Have you connected the yellow tulip (RCA) that comes from the harness provided with the unit to the cable in the picture above? The cable in the picture above should be connected to the F connector on the headunit. I have a Corolla Hybrid and it really worked out of the box with the factory rear camera. If you get a black screen it means that you didn't connect something correctly. The unit doesn't get signal from the factory camera.
