tapping into reverse light

Put your assumption and anger elsewhere please. You guys have gone way out of topic

I never said I will rely on the camera. The reason why I want to install it, is because I live in downtown. When I am doing parallel parking in tight spaces, it is very hard to tell how far I am away from the car behind. I want to use it so I can park closer to the car behind me based on the parking sitation at that time. The angle of the camera is pointed towards the rear bumper.

Anyway, i found the wire and have installed it today. Working very good.

Where does it display? Do you have a different headunit or is the display somewhere else all together? I would like to see some pictures because I agree that it's difficult to judge where the ass of the car is sometimes.

I've found that I think I'm right on top of something sometimes and then get out of the car and see that I have a good 8-10 feet of extra space. Something like this would probably help that.

It is displaying in my head unit, the one a lot of people have purchased. It does not automatically go into camera mode when reversing though, have to manually click the little icon on the screen. I mounted the camera underneath the rear brake light housing. I will post up some pictures, it's pretty neat but the camera is not the best for my application. The infra-red is contant on behind tinted windows so it's always a bit too bright in some areas.
