Hi Scott,

Im in the middle of redoing my rear view too, have a camera and a
small LCD monitor that I picked up, going to install them RSN...

The CRT monitor has a edge card connector on the back, if you look
you'll see where the coax is soldered to it. The other connections
are for the brightness, contrast and power.
I soldered the coax to a RCA plug and the power to a connector that
fits the LCD monitor and that seems to work OK. The contrast and
brightness wires I capped off with insulated crimp ons.
If you need I can look at the old connector and get you the pins
---if I havent tossed it.

I still have to mount the LCD in the console and the camera at the
rear of the coach...

HTH, Joe
