Camera cables
My quest to upgrade the rear view camera continues...

Today, I managed to get the old camera and old monitor out of the
bus. This, of course, has raised a new question for me.

In my old FC, I changed out the old camera with a modern one. I kept
the old monitor, which worked fine. I was able (using some
connection adapters from Radio Shack) to plug the new camera right
into the original coax camera cable. Presto! New camera worked
great.

With that in mind, my hope was that I would be able to change out the
camera and the monitor on my PT and just plug each of them into the
original cable, thereby saving me the headache of running a new
cable. The problem? The original monitor doesn't have a coax
plugged into the back like I expected...just a pin connector with
several small wires on it.

So my question...does anyone know where the single cable that comes
out of the camera terminates? And, am I just being foolish to
believe I can use that old cable with a new camera and LCD monitor
anyway?
