Default first time back-up camera installer

not that tech savy but what the report card said was "follows directions well and gets along well with others". monitor has usual black and red that goes to back-up lights and transmitter with it that also goes to back-up lights with black and red. would it be ok to tie red with red and black with black to avoid two long runs to the back? thought i would go entry level and see how this one works out and maybe go to a better one later. 97 base model automatic. also what would the white rca plug to. think it said video 1 on it. yellow is video 2 which is the one i use. directions that come with this stuff are more confusing than helpful. thanks Denny
