That's ACC circuitry. The other one stays ON at all times.

I haven't done side by side comparison so I couldn't say for sure, functionally the same but I think the connectors are maybe different

it should be, I don't think theirs would work with ours as the connector is facing the wrong way for our camera

i.e. ACC Wire status:
0v = Park mode,
5v = Normal mode
?
For mini0906 - in reverse (5v = Park mode).

So it's easy to get ACC output (resistor + 3,9v stabilitron).
Just installed the sample kit. Here are some pictures.
Fuse box with connections. I added a fused link to ACC also.
Grounding wire
Module double taped to sidewall next to fuse box
Camera with the 2 connections. Power now goes to camera, not GPS. GPS works properly
Power and rear camera cables. Both cables have 90 deg connectors. Does not look good. Needs an extension of sorts on the power cable.
Using firmware https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jGB1XE39zhWk-oU-k4IWOtYqNCXYrfu9 with parking mode in Auto.
Testing just beginning. Will post info tomorrow.

in a few weeks can just get the correct cable, better to wait
If you have it, could you post pictures of the inside?

Just note that one of your piggy back fuses are around the wrong way.
If you get a multimeter you'll be able to find out what side positive is.
It will work in the orientation you have it but note both circuits will only be protected by the one fuse rather than each circuit being protected by its own fuse.

I did use a multimeter. I installed them only after that. The 2 rows of fuses have 12V on the sides facing each other. Just for you, mate I'll check it again tonight.
Edit: Checked it and it's good.

As I understand it, the power cable is standard.. so you can use a normal miniUSB cable.. Just the cable to the rear camera is "special"

So the wait continues and the cam remains in the box .....
