Reverse camera trigger is reverse line live +
Purple / white trace.

It’s a good idea to fuse at about 100mA in-line just inside the vehicle from the reverse, so if there was a short you’d still keep your reverse light active, but protect downstream from there.

The light green is parking brake aka handbrake live + line trigger, for this a parking brake module is a good idea to avoid cutting into existing wiring.

The trigger for these things will be the ISO side that is primary power, speakers if used are on their own dedicated side for speakers only if used.

So ground, ignition, permanent 12v, illumination, 12v rmt blue/white, revere trigger, etc will be on the primary power side, the speakers are on the other side.

The cleanest signal you’ll get is RCA out though, not speakers, and those RCA lines then can go to a passive Amp set up, but that is a full external audio install.

You’ll normally only get upto 50wrms max per channel from the HU itself, and will run hotter, 30wrms to 50wrms is typical.

If you have a 2.2 Puma you can always manually retrofit DIN ISO connectors to match the 2.4, which cuts down adaptors needed, you can simply follow a generic wiring diagram and plugs, pins etc are readily available.
DIN ISO, is aftermarket industry standard, most cars have an adaptor you can that converts to this.
2.4 Puma has it as standard.

All you’d need is a basic uninsulated crimp tool, generic din iso wiring diagram, Male plugs DIN ISO, and pins.
You can use a plug and play adaptor, but you do have the little extra bulk of the housings, the female connectors have a bit more bulk to them. KEEP CALM AND Drill ON

Thanks for the in-depth reply Custom.

Re the Purple and white, nope, didn't do anything and isn’t labeled Camera or trigger, how ever the incorrectly coloured green and white trace did work. As per the attached photos, the loom doesn’t match the instruction diagrams.


Re the fuse, I always fuse immediately off any power supply. I’ll see if I can find the suitable connector block that the Rear Camera In RCA plug is connected to and only run that line to remove the extraneous audio cables, if not I’ll see if I can de pin the block vs cutting the lines. I live rurally so a definitive supply place in Cairns Australia is 100kms away.

Thanks again for the great reply.
