Many people prefer the flip logo camera, but I think this one is not too bad.

Yes the flip handle logo camera. It is definitely a more correct and nice solution. I'm a little skeptical about this solution, I'm afraid of the reliability of the handle. For now I prefer to do something simpler.

I am ready to buy this

the CVBS 170 degrees option.

I finally bought this camera, I'm waiting for the delivery. In the meantime, I'm looking for installation info. A question arose. Should I use a little device called a "Power Delay Timer Relay Filter"?
Like this?

If you think it's nicer to show the camera image a bit longer, sure, but I think your radio will remove the video image anyway as soon as you take the car out of reverse gear.
So I don't think you need the delay filter.

ΟΚ will procced the installation without that delay relay.

I already have a Composition color and i am willing to swap it with my Composition Touch and remove the C(omponent) P(rtotection). This is the 1rst step.
I checked the connection pin from Composition Color and there are actually pins for connecting the camera. So I think I'm on the right track.

This is the wiring diagram from the camera i have bought.

Image

i have some rather silly questions.

The connector number 2 is easy to understand, it goes to No6 and No12 from the blue connector of the infotainment.
Right next to connector 2 there is a small red wire, from the camera wiring, i think this wire is not connecting anywhere. (trigger wire )
Finally, the 3 and 4 is connecting to the reverse light.

Could someone verify these connections ?

No one ok, I'll have to check it out myself. I have the infotainment and the camera so it's only a matter of time.

makes sense, black to GND, red to a positive (reversing light, 12V post-ignition)
