Reverse Camera

[rainman]

i have one in my xj i went for reverse from the lights and went to the tail lights for the +12v.
so when you go in reverse the camera comes on automatically. if you want to look out the rear camera to monitor a trailer or what not just have to turn on the tail lights before selecting the camera on the display.
the advantage of this is that only a single wire has to be run from the rear to the dash.
as for splicing wires i use solder and heat shrink the type that has glue on the inside.
cut and strip for me, when tapping into a wire, if i have to.
mostly i chase the wire to a plug, extract the pin from the plug solder the new wire to the back of the pin and put the pin back in the plug.
good luck with it.
