I just tapped into mine at the taillight for the auto switching. Ran power to the camera full time to so i can use it going down the road to keep an eye on my trailer.

I just check mine pioneer manual and actualy one cable from camera i have to connect to battery second to negative and one is connection like rca so it will go to unit, then from my pionner unit it is direct cable witch i have to connect to rear light ( when you pu the car in to reverse ) will activate rear view automaticly in unit, but my question is if i can find this cable closer to the front ( from rear buck up light ) or i have to run all the way from back to the front ? it will be easier to find something on front and btw i finish my ride so i add couple pictures in my album i have to check how to add picture on web actualy and ask what you guys think ....
