No instructions included

Small, solid and good looking. But there is no help in the instructions and there were many misspellings like "white corn, green corn" instead of cord. As for installation, I did this on my 2011 Altima:1. Trunk lid trim removed. License plate cover where the headlights are removed. I drilled a hole where I wanted to install the camera. I drilled a second hole through the fuselage body into the trunk.2. Pull the cable from the camera through both holes and secure the camera with the locking washer. I taped this cord to other cords that ran inside the trunk.3. Main wiring harness disconnected from tail light. Using a multimeter, I checked every pin in the wiring harness. You can go to a store like PepBoys and ask them to test it, it only takes a minute. I started the car first and checked all the pins while running, all the lights were off and wrote down the numbers. I then applied the emergency brake, put it in reverse and checked each pin again to see which wire was the reverse relay wire as that was the wire I connected to the red power wire. In my car, the white wire was steady, the purple was the reverse relay. I used a simple quick connect to connect the red power wire to the return wire. I ground the black wire to the adjacent stud.4. The longest cable ran under the upholstery along the driver's side and under the steering column up to the stereo.5. I connected the RCA cables and the camera cable. Covered everything with duct tape. And put some silicone around the wire where it enters the trunk to keep it tight. In general this is a good camera. I just found that the instructions are missing and useless. The chart wasn't easy to understand either. The camera is connected with a short cinch cable. The red/black wire from this RCA needs to be connected to the reverse light and ground. Then short yellow RCA to long RCA, then to stereo. The two very short red wires were not used. Hope this helps some people.
