navtool/backup camera questions..
 

I'm going through the process of finally installing navtool after procrastinating for a while. I installed the camera through the inlet of the license plate light on the left side and routed the wires through the connector that opens the liftgate. Few questions, i'd like to know if it's safe to power the Navtool through a constant 12v or an accessory 12v, and if so, where would I find a wire that gives ignition/accessory 12v power? and what color is the wire for the reverse brake light? the navtool has a green wire that needs to be connected to it. some pictures would help on the location as I'm not too familiar with the vehicle, only owned it for about 3 months lol. and how are you guys routing your wires from the backup camera?

Subscribed. Also going to do this some day.

also i took out the bulb in the license plate light and soldered the leads for the backup camera light and getting a CHECK LICPLATE LIGHT message on the dash. anyway to bypass this?

anyone?

Add a resistor, apparently the camera is not pulling enough voltage to keep the error message off.

could I pick up a similar resistor at radio shack? thanks!!

just turn the cold monitoring off for the license plate light. it will stop bogging you...

You could, but to me they don't look as nice as the ones sold on Ebay, they won't have the wire leads soldered on them either.

Do you have a link Romeo? Yes I have that radio shack one, and glad I'm not doing the soldering. Looks small and fragile.

The link is in my post #5.
