problem
Back-up camera routing
- Routing from the trunk to the inside of the vehicle. Does not pass through a rubber tube.
- The route into the vehicle goes through the storage space in the top cover, under the top cover, and from behind the rear seat.
Back-up camera power
The current from the reverse signal alone is not enough. Use a general-purpose relay to supply 12V directly.
- Today’s pin #30: From the constant power battery terminal.
- Pin #85: Body ground
- Pin #86: Signal line connected to the tail light reverse line
- Pin #87: Camera positive terminal

Continuous power supply for car stereo
Car stereos require a constant 12v power supply, but the 16-pin connector from the car body does not receive constant power.
Continuous power is obtained from the fuse box. Free slot #85
Screen flickering
Disconnect the backlight input line
