I just got finished with the wiring harnesses on my tundra install. With all the great info on this site this part went pretty easy. I have also located the vss and backup wire(behind left kick panel). Along with the 900bt "kit" came a pruple/white wire with a 'fuse resistor" built in. This is the wire they give you to run to rear to connect to your backup light wire for the backup camera.

I'm not sure I know what a "resistor fuse" is... My question is since I'm only going a short distance to the kick panel do i need to use this wire with the resistor in it?? thanks in advance

not sure but i think its like a 1 way valve or like a check valve power can go 1 way but not the other this would be needed for rear lights that the trigger is -12v

No, it's not a diode. It's a resistor. The purpose of the resistor is to limit the maximum current that can flow. That protects both the AVIC and the car.

thank you for the correction joegr. so to answer the question yes you need to use this wire with the resistor in it

thanks for the info...
