Surprises: When connecting the adaptor plug to your unit, check the car's plug to determine your 12v power ... constant vs ignition as well as Amp and Antenna power on lines. I used a digital meter. I had to change a connection or two.
Can you tell me which backup camera you found? This would be great for the roadster since you can't see anything out the back when the top is up, but I did not want to take a $200 gamble on the Kenwood cameras with the little 3" screen.

Crutchfield told me not to connect the ANT. CONT (Blue) wire to anything, which I assumed stands for Continuous Antenna Power or something like that. Is this just for those powered retractable up and down antennas?

Thanks Bro.
