Hi, I've just got myself an 04 daily, and currently in Afghan. When i return in a month, I'm going to fit a reversing camera, and I wanting to mount it similar to the way seen here

Now, I know I could tap into the positive wire either going to the stereo or to the cigarette lighter, but how hard would it be to install a full new circuit just for the camera and monitor? I've searched both on here and google, but can't seem to find the a guide showing how to do it, but doing it so that it only has power when the ignition is on?

I apologise if this has been asked and answered already.

cheers

Hi Brian

Why don't you just take a connection from the reverse wire at the back, so when you select
reverse the camera comes on.

Much easer than running a feed all the way front to back !

That is the 2nd option. But i was thinking about using the monitor as more of a rear view constantly.

If i was to do that, where would I connect the monitor to, so that it also comes on under reversing? Or should the monitor automatically turn on when i select reverse aswell?

For the monitor, I would take a switched feed from the back of the radio.

If it just a monitor then it will need a supply, but if it is a radio,sat-nav etc, then it might
come on when using the reverse, but only on top notch system's

It's just monitor for the camera. Think I'll just stick to doing it that way.

However, I'm also wanting to add a 2nd 12v outlet, to power my satnav, but I'm wanting the outlet hidden behind the dash, so the cabling is all nice and neat.

Is that just a case of adding in a new 12v socket onto the existing 12v socket?

If so, would it be


-------|---positive wire----socket--------|-negative wire
____|_________________________|
____|---- new socket ------------------|



or should i run it in line

----------socket-------socket---------

would that work?

I have a reversing camera and I picked the positive from the reversing lights.
My 12v for usb and extra sockets i got from back of cigarette lighter no problems with loading. nice and hidden.
