    You should connect the yellow(composite) to the RPi. The others should be left bare.

    Hi Emily,

    My rearview monitor came with 3 connectors on the cable - White, Yellow and Red.

    The Yellow and White RCA connectors are both video inputs - you can connect the R-Pi  composite output to either of these.

    The Red connector is  a barrel jack for power - it requires a DC power source which can be any voltage between about 9V and 15V - where the outer barrel is ground and the inner pin is positive supply voltage.

    The display doesn't do anything until power is connected and there is a valid video signal on one of the inputs.

    I hope this helps...

    Doug

    Some 7" monitors have HDMI support - you'll get much better video with one of those.
