Planning to install an OEM reverse camera in the boot handle this weekend, and while all the wiring looks clear enough, just wondering if the live connection should be a ignition or permanent live? I assume ignition live? I know that there is a dedicated fuse slot for the reverse camera but I think I will fuse tap it at first and if it all works I might connect it to the back of the fuse box at a later date. Any ideas? and thanks!
OEM Reverse Camera - Is it connected to ignition or permanent live?
- Thread starter q2us3r
- Start date
Planning to do the same, do you remember what the fuse number was the one that you tapped to?
Yes, was hoping to eventually connect it to the back of the fuse box at fuse 18 at a later date - but for testing purposes I was just going to tap it on top of another exsiting fuse for now - do you know if fuse 18 is permanent or ignition live?

That is very interesting, I wonder why it needs to be powered on all the time unless one of the other pins acts as a on/off switch, a bit like a relay - that implies that fuse 18 must be permanent live then.

The device is controlled via CAN signals. Top two rows of the fuse box are terminal 30.
