TO UPDATE. Refer to the included instructions for grounding cut wires

My overall rating is low because of the instructions included. My initial "free" setup was very promising, great packaging, a camera that produced a clear image. After tightening/cleaning everything, hiding and securing the wiring, my problems started. The instructions that came with it called for cutting the green wire (for use as a front camera) that would flip the video horizontally, which worked. He also pointed out that the wire that was cut should be grounded and then my ram truck started throwing CANBUS codes, the camera wiring got hot and the camera stopped working. Another reviewer also mentioned this issue, I think I should have read all the reviews. I have ordered another camera and will try again without grounding the cable. If everything goes well, I can change my rating. UPDATE (6/24/20) - After purchasing another device and installing it (no green ground) I found that if the device is clipped (to flip the image) it needs to be powered off and restarted before it takes effect . The camera works as it should with a clear and accurate image. The product is absolutely great value for money but is losing stars because of the instructions, communication with the seller was very productive and hopefully the instructions will be updated.
