Asked by jwmom Jan 14, 2015 at 10:33 PM about the 2009 Kia Spectra EX

Question type: Car Customization

I need to know if the car is a negative ground (is that the black wire?).... which wire is positive (white?).  Yada Backup Camera with 5" Dash Monitor.  My friend tried to install it this way but the camera isn't getting power.  The reverse light works.
