Default Back Up Camera Install

Ok, so I'm going to preface this with the fact that I know just enough about electrical to get myself into trouble.

I need some help getting this camera working. I connected the camera to what I think is the hot wire for the back up light and the ground just inside the trunk. I'm using the red for ground, and one of the blue ones for the power. Is this correct?

The head unit itself also has a wire for reverse gear signal. I have that connected to the positive for the backup bulb too. Everything seems good, yet still no worky. I was thinking maybe the quick splicers that I am using just were crap.

Any thoughts would be helpful. The headunit is a KW-NT30HDT if that helps any. Thanks dudes.

Volvo wiring is all but simple. Also, you need to make sure the wires are actually giving power when you think they are. It's pretty simple with an ohm meter. Have you been able to get the camera to activate at all?
