Here is the information posted by jacan20 from CRV Owner Club (Thanks so much for the information)

“I cut off one of the ends of the rca cable and stripped away some of the insulation. A rca video cable is comprised of a center cable (video positive) that is surrounded by many very thin ground wires. These ground wire are very fragile and annoying to work with; be very careful with them! Carefully twist only the ground wires together and crimp a male plug of a t-tap on it. Crimp another male end onto the center data positive wire.
Inside the car, attach the female part of a t-tap onto the wire that leads to pin 18. Attach another female part onto then wire that leads into pin 19.
The male plug from the surrounding grounding wires plugs into the female end on pin 18. The male plug from the center data positive plugs into 19. You don’t need to mess with pin 14.
The rca plug on the other end of the cable plugs into your new head unit.”

Or you can just buy a Camera Adapter Wire like this to connecot it,
