Camera cables

[Curt Sprenger]

Scott,
The old cable worked for me using two of the old monitor 10 pin connector wires. I used the orange wire for the camera signal to the new LCD, the white wire for ground.

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?
