Re: Reverse camera
Use T12/6 and T12/12 of the blue connector of the quadlock. I can't tell you what's the positive and negative though.

Re: Reverse camera
Ah yes, my mistake.
Connect the black to the thick brown/white wire (GND)
Connect the red to the thick red wire.

Re: Reverse camera
No the wires will only draw the current they need for the camera.

Re: Reverse camera
So I've tried that. Still doesn't work. I'm going to try the piggy back fuse connection and see if that works. No doubt I'll be back crying for guidanceiichel wrote:No the wires will only draw the current they need for the camera.
Thanks for the help iichel

Re: Reverse camera

Re: Reverse camera
update 2
coding shows the camera screen but black.
connecting blue wire to the reverse wire stops the boot from opening
