Peak backup camera My X-mas Present :)

My plate lights were still working but I went ahead and added an adhesive LED band to the bracket. Very easy install. I don't think that you need to remove anything other than to make the wire connection inside the door. Unfortunately I can't be sure of that since I had the door apart anyway.

So you could still use the license plate frame mount for the camera.

I don't think that there is an alla-time hot wire back there so you'll probably have to run one from the dash. Someone with a back up camera will have to chime in on that. Since the camera was a factory item for JDM, there might be one.

The book says to tap into the reverse lights for power. I figured I would have to run a new wire from the dash. I never thought about the factory JDM wire. Hmm I would think it would be there. That would save me some time and work.

The package says It installs in minutes but it does not say how many. LOL

If there's a wire back there for the JDM camera, it may be switched for reverse as well so if you want to be able to use the camera for lane changes, you may have to find another source.

Yep I thought about that after I made the last post. I guess I will find out when I dig into it. Maybe tomorrow I will start checking it out.

If you have to run a wire from the dash, I'd suggest that you run a heavy wire & mount a cig lighter jack back there ... always a handy option. You can just continue the wire from there into the rear door for the camera.
