Just asking cuz i'm about to install a dvd player with back-up camera in mine and i would like to know which wire i'll need to tap in the future in case i end up installing the rear camera since it's pretty neat to have. Thanks ahead of time.
The camera is easier to find the correct wire because you can physically connect it very near the reverse light and then run the necessary connections to your head unit or whatever you're viewing from. I'm trying to get the cable in the front, where there are many other wires, because I was not planning to use a camera*. My use is for dead reckoning of navigation system -- I have the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) hooked up so it works well under bridge, in tunnels, underground parking, et al going in a forward direction where satellite connections are poor or nonexistent, but the problem is when the reverse wire is not hooked up and you're driving in reverse, the unit thinks it is going forward and messes up a little -- not a big deal but I'd like it to be as good as possible.
* I now think it may be easier to connect a reverse camera based on the fact that there hasn't been a response specifically to which wire I should be tapping yet.
