Just got this!

I ordered this on ebay for 40 dollars for my Avic n1 and just got it. Will it just plug and play? Do I need any other cords? Also, how do I make the cord longer?

Thanks

Mount it to your license plate frame. That's what I did. Extensions you can pick up at Radio Shack. Yellow is standard RCA video. Black looks like the power cord on mine. I'm not sure about the red, unless it's power (black ground, red hot power). My camera is + and - in one cable. I'm curious to find out how yours connects. Also how good the picture is at night. Keep us posted.

Just sent you a PM before you responded. Pics would still be nice if you get a chance, thanks.

Yes, u can add rear view camera to stock navis, but you need another part. I think there is info in the rear view camera thread from a few days ago.
