cannot la connect terus to your reverse light... you can use your reverse sensor switch as your activation switch... and it should be connected via a relay to your screen.

ok bro tx...i try to chge the wiring system..

yup.. dont connect direct to reverse light power. ur reverse light has a fuse rated to its usage.
if u connect to tv/camera, the extra current could shorten the life of ur fuse.

hook it up as a switching line only.. then use a relay to supply the power direct from battery line after a self-installed fuse. thats the best way.

very easy. go buy a Dome(CCTV), around Rm80~180(Better one), wiring go get BNC cable and CCTV plug, but a converter, and then plug to your player that has lcd screen with, then Video in. It's on.
