Title: Advice on wiring
Post by: ninjinski on August 17, 2005, 23:04
Tonight I fitted a rearview mirror with integrated TFT monitor to the car which has a reversing camera attatched as an added feature (fitted that in rear grill)

My question is:- The instructions mention wiring it to the reversing lights as it will automatically come on then with the gear in reverse - Anyone have any idea where the wiring for these may be and where I'd connect too?

Just need to fit the Digital TV Receiver with freeview tomorrow if it arrives and wire it to my amp   s:D :D s:D    s:D :D s:D  

Will post piccies when finished!

PS: No idea why I need all this it was cheap on ebay, but im impressed with the picture quality - had my portable DVD player through it and for the money very happy!!

Help on the wiring would be much appreciated. Thanks!

See here. Tem's info was spot on.

Incidentally, It was only after I installed my wire from the luggage bins that logic kicked and told me the same wire must already be connected to the instrument cluster in order to turn that bloddy beeping on when you put it in reverse.

Here are the 2 ebay shops of the guys I bought from

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/SkyPro-ind-com-SkyPro-Ind-Co-Ltd_W0QQssPageNameZviQ3asibQ3astoreviewQQtZkm for freeview receiver

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Extreme-Audio-Electronics-Ltd_W0QQssPageNameZviQ3asibQ3astoreviewQQtZkm for rear mirror with built in 4.5" monitor

I have not received and installed the freeview box yet - hopefully get today but the screen I can highly recommend!
