I agree, use a relay. I got mine from Partsexpress for $2. Link

You can connect to the reverse lights in several different places along the spare well wall near the tailgate side. See this article for some pointers.

I made my reverse connections near where the tailgate wiring enters the grommet for the tailgate. That was the closest point to my relay and to the video module. I connected to yellow/white + and brown - reverse wiring. I have tons of pictures so if you need anything just let me know.

Thanks a lot NCX.I should have said that I am using a relay.
I have made all connections exactly as per your TVonNav wiring diagram.Like you ,I also connected to yellow/white + and brown -reverse wiring by the grommet for the tailgate. I am still getting interference???I know that the problem is in these connections ,because if I connect the relay directly to the battery I get a perfect picture, so I will have to get the reverse wiring somewhere else!
This mod has been going on for over a month now because they kept sending me Pal cams!Jeff ,and especially Drex, gave me all the necessary instructions and data for the wiring connections ,plus I have an auto electrician here,so I
know all wiring is A1!
Prior to PMing Drex and Jeff I had a look at Kings cam article and couldnt understand the wiring!Not surprisingly,since he was connecting a( +) and a(-) to the same pin on the relay?He has since changed that ,but the wiring is still not correct........!Check it yourself?He has no GROUND(-) on the relay!On pin 86 he is connecting a permanent positive(+) and reverse positive on branched pins 85 and 87?

I am fitting the cam on the left rear fog light!Looks neat.An idea I got from Tom G.
