rear view camera question

[car_lost]

My cousin has a new Silverado and wants to install the stock rear view camera from a Tahoe.

The camera has 4 wires, red, black, yellow and white.

Red = power
Black = Ground
Yellow = Video

What is the white cable for?

Also, has anyone attempted to connect the stock camera to an aftermarket double-din radio? It's a Kenwood DNX7100. Any help is appreciated.

Maybe to activate when in reverse only....?

On his old truck with the old camera... the red was used as the power which would activate it. So no, I don't think thats it.

Audio? I have an aftermarket cam with power, ground, video, and audio. I don't use audio but that may be it?

The white wire i believe connects to the Reverse circuit so when you put the car in reverse the screen automatically goes to the cam. I am going to do a cam install on my denali in a few weeks but im pretty sure thats what its for.
You can research it on crutchfield.com. Good luck

white wire is Camera Shield Extension
are you going to be using camera module as well or something else?

Do you know the part # for the harness from the camera module to the camera for an 07 Yukon XL Denali. I want to know if it is the same as the yukon denali. I have the stock navigation and what to make the stock camera.
I ordered the Camera module to back-up camera harness: GM part# 25776555.
Is this the correct one for 07 Yukon XL Denali?
If not, do you know what it is?

camera module the same as Yukon Tahoe Escalade and Denali.
I did not use factory module, because its a pain to order harnesses, put them together, plus it's very costly.
what I did was, I bought car DC to DC converter for like $10 and modified it. and then made my own harness from Camera to the Nav. totall was like $25 in parts
