Rear view monitor

[Wayne Kotila]

Abovethe drivers head on the left is the pull out on/off knob for the old tv/monitor and the old tv chassis, I removed the old aluminum box that contained the old chassis and cut the wires to that pull out tv on/off knob.

Then I took the 12 volt wires that I was running to power the new Radio Schack tv andcut one of them (the power wire) and soldered the ends to the terminals on the back of that existing switch,now that old switch turns the new tv monitor on and off.If you can find the 12 volt wires that powered the old chassis you can use them and that way the original fuse or breaker thatprotected the old monitor will be protecting the new one.

Good Luck

Wayne

Wayne,

How do you turn the tv off/on if it's behind the clear panel? Or, did you just remove the clear panel?

Of course, I would like to do it as economically as possible. Also, do I have to replace all the cables or will the existing cables work with new systems. I realize I might have to replace the camera as well.
