Previous image Up to current index page (1) Next image Just two wires, that's all the MFD needs to detect/display the camera image when the vehicle is in Reverse gear. Power for the camera comes from the Reverse Light (drivers side) at the rear of the vehicle (look for a BROWN w/YELLOW STRIPE wire). A bit of hot-melt glue helps keep things in place for the long haul, yet can be peeled away easily when needed. Be careful not to get it on any of the empty pins! Not suitable for very hot climates, though fine in Ottawa. A late addition: inline fuse between the power (from Reverse Lights) and the rest of the wiring. I used a 0.5A fuse, though anything up to about 1.0A should be fine. The camera wiring in the hatch uses the clips conveniently provided from the factory, with a bit of foam tape (weatherstripping) wrapped around the cabling to prevent rattles. Looks nice. White on white. The camera was mounted by drilling a 15/64" hole through the plastic at the "cut out" markings intended for the factory camera.
