Anybody have done it?
Looks simple but concern about possble mistake. Definetly black goes to ground.
My question is from the power cable puple/white connect to camea red wire and rear light power wire altogether?
Thank you in advance.

No, give your camera dedicated power from a switched accessory line. Attach your purple/white line to the reverse line. The reason being you can view the camera while driving in one of the map display modes. If you power the camera off the reverse lead you will be disabling this feature and will only have the camera when in reverse.

My English is not good enough.
Would you explain step by step, more detail?
Purple/white wire to car's reverse power wire? Correct?
And Camera's Red wire also connect to car's reverse power wire?
is that right?

Purple/white wire to car's reverse power wire - correct.

And Camera's Red wire also connect to car's reverse power wire - incorrect - attach to switched positive source from the ignition, ie stereo's red wire.
