Wrieless reverse/backup camera wiring advice
Hey guys,
I’d like to install a wireless backup camera. My main goal here is to avoid running wires from front to back.
I would power the camera from the reverse light.
Question is where can I tap in the reverse light power cable so the HU switches to the backup camera input when I’m in reverse?
I read that people run cables from the HU to the rear of the car, but surely this could be done at the front?
Any input would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Ludo

Thanks Beezee, but surely the same wire should be accessible not too far from the Head unit? I do not want to run a wire to the back of the car.
If no one has tapped in it around the front of the car before I might need to trace it out from the fuse box.

my advice is to NOT install a backup camera...unless it comes from the factory, people who install these are tools...

Found this picture from another post, do you happen to know which harness to cut into to get to the light green cable? I'd like to avoid trial and error on this one . There's also an exposed light green cable going straight into that black box, I'm assuming this ain't it?

Awesome! Thanks for checking John. I received my camera, went for wired instead. I'll start the work this weekend and report back if I find anything worth sharing,

Did you finish your back up camera install ?
How did it go ?
If you can give me a idea of how the process went let me know.
Thanks
