They don't recommend doing this because the cam will be on all the time, or require the vehicle lights to be on for the cam to work. I have heard of some cams overheating as well from being on all the time. I recommend you hook the cam into your back up lights. This will make it so that the cam comes on only when the Truck is put in reverse. I think you have to use the black (-) and green (+) wires on the light plug. One other thing to consider is that some states might have laws against a screen being on all the time (like having a DVD player up front to distract the driver), so you might want to check on that as well. You are right. The backup light is the way to go for permanent hookup. I may consider some sort of temporary solution. Thanks for your help.
