Wiring for backup camera


 

Has anyone hooked up a backup camera that automatically engages when you put it in Reverse?

I’m interested in info on how/where to hook up the wiring. The info from Crutchfield doesn’t tell me this.?

Thx,
Serge


 

I did this with a head unit that had it.? I just triggered the wire off the reverse light so anytime I put it in reverse it triggers the relay to turn on the camera.

My camera is mounted on the back hatch externally. I did that to get a good view of my bikes. However if I were to do it again I’d try mounting inside next to the 3rd brake light. Either way it’s easy to grab the reverse light wire from the tail light while you’re back there. I can send you pictures if you like.?
