You lost me.... lol
The camera is activated by the reverse wire when put in reverse. It's not constantly hot, so the camera only activates(turns on)when the vehicle is put in reverse. If you connect a keyed hot wire--wire gets power when the key is turned to the on position--the camera will always be on, even while in drive. You'll have to switch to the camera from the headunit. This way you'll be able to check on whatever your hauling, while your driving down the highway, and you won't have to be in reverse to have the camera working. I'm not very good at explaining things, I hope I didn't confuse you. It really is easy tho.

Ahh... I thought you said the reverse of that scenario. Like I thought you were saying the the reverse wire was always hot, so I was scratching my head a bit... lol. I understand what you meant now haha. I’d imagine since the headunit allows the camera to constantly be powered then I would assume there’s an extra wire going to the camera for that reason. Which is what I need to find out and then find the keyed hot wire to hook it up to. Lol

They make x-act contours for our gen trucks! I just didn’t want tan liners! lol
I can’t seem to find these. I already put the standard liners in my Tukon, but I like the xact contour ones better. But the site says they don’t make them for 2003-2006..? Looked under Tahoe, Yukon and Esky..
