Suggestion
Pull power off the reverse light feed from rear light loom so camera turns on when reversing, one option I considered When thinking about the same job was to fit using the wireless video transmitters you can also get on eBay rather than doing the cable run which I had done on a previous 911 for reverse sensor

Im not sure if its ignition fed without testing but i know it has been mentioned on other posts when similar questions have been asked ..

Suggestion
The camera uses 24W / 2A max and the wires provided with it are p1ss thin so the draw is pretty minimal, so the TERM 15 might be fine?
Use combined camera / number plate replacement unit

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Has anyone fitted a reversing camera to a 996.1 by using a combined camera / number plate replacement unit? It seems to be a neat installation rather than drilling and bolting in the bumper.
As usual, I'm sure that there's a universal fit but I can't seem to find one.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
There are plenty of number plate surround style ones on eBay.
I went for a small unit that I'm going to fit between the number plate lights.
What I'm REALLY interested in is how you do the wiring / routing of the cables!
I need to find an ignition switched power supply in the engine bay
Find a route through the bulkhead for the video feed
tap off from the reversing bulb to provide a signal to the head unit that the vehicle is in reverse (unless you all know of a signal I can tap into inside the cabin??)
So I've some thinking to do... Not quite at the "action" section just yet

The bootlight is ignition switched, is it? Ace, that would be an easy fix.
Yes, feeding the camera's power from the reversing light feed would work - but only when the car is in reverse.. (Yes, that's obvious!!) but there's an option to view the camera while going forward, so why not enable it? :thumb:
I did look at trying to find the reverse signal wire that would feed the auto-dipping mirror (if I had one) that's supposedly comes out of the CPU under the passenger seat...
I couldn't find it though :dont know: :nooo:
Im not sure if its ignition fed without testing but i know it has been mentioned on other posts when similar questions have been asked .. usually to do with cargraphic exhaust .
I remember it as its something i missed and didnt think of ..
Hell i cant know it all
Do these cameras flip or pop open to stop the accumulation of dirt on the lens or is it up to you to keep the lens clean at all times. Wouldn't it be a P.I.T.A in winter :dont know:
Hi Iain
Do you mean that TERM 30 feed is a constant live? So it would be always on? The camera uses 24W / 2A max and the wires provided with it are p1ss thin so the draw is pretty minimal, so the TERM 15 might be fine?
Than you for posting the diagram - hugely helpful! :worship:
