Im not sure what the harness does, but there are 3 orange wires. I used the first one(one on the end of the harness). everything works great!

You should not of garbed power for the camera from that wire, but I guess you can in a pinch. You should of attached the red wire to either the red wire of your head unit wiring harness or of the 12 volt outlet.

The orange wire is to tell the head unit to show the rear camera input. yes there are 3 orange wires in the harness however only one will only show power when you put the car in reverse.
