Default pioneer rear camera install question...

Ok, I ran the camera cables up to the front but I was unable to find the correct wires to connect to. I attempted to connect the red fused wire to an acc wire and another constant wire. I then connected the black to ground. But when I attempted to view the camera... it would not give me the option...

What am I missing?

ok, I am a complete idiot. I just read the n1 owners manual. it states that you must actually go in and turn the camera settings on.
As for mounting, I mounted it under the rear bumber for right now but I am just testing that view tomorrow as soon as I reinstall it...

quick question though. Is says to install it to an acc line and not a constant but when i attempted to install it to an acc it showed no picture... So, after installing it to a constant *BAM* I had a picture. My only question is, will this kill my battery? or would you inagine it wouldnt draw enough? I have it conected to the line that runs to my ipod adapter...
