Yes you are correct about the pink wire. After looking at the manual, it does say reverse input. So it looks like I have everything hook up but I am still getting no view of the backup camera. I have been using the t-dap connector. First I just connected the wires without exposing it. So I figure, I expose the wires a bit and connect the t-dap connector on it. Still no backup camera.
The manufacturer told me everything like you said but not to connect the red wire on the pink wire. They said to leave it expose. It still didn't work. The only thing I can think of is that I might not have it connected to the correct backup light?????

you need to connect pink wire to reverse light +ve.
otherwise, your head unit will not know that you have put the car into reverse.
I hope that you have already removed the CAN bus unit from your car.
if not, remove it, as it is not of the correct type and will interfere with your reverse light wiring.

After watching the PB guy video again. I noticed he used a different wire to connect the trigger to the reverse light and ran it all the way to the head unit. I am not sure if I was to use a new wire, where would I connect it to? I'm going to keep trying and go back over the diagram again. Do I need a 12V or 18V wire?

Please use following post,
You need to do three things,
1) In the boot of your car, connect both of the red wires to the +ve of reverse light.
2) Find a cable in the harness of new head unit that says something like reverse.
3) Connect red wire shown below to the reverse signal cable identified in step 2.
It should work, if it doesn’t work then you need to verify that you have connected red wire to + of your reverse light wire.

I still have the can bus on it and it does work. I am able to use my steering wheel controls to skip songs and volume up and down. It just doesn't work when I use my radio. So you think it is messing up my reverse light? If so then I will take it out and see
Thanks!
Thanks!
