Backup Camera Install on a 3rd Gen

Can somebody direct me to an image where I should tap the backup camera wires on the tail light?

Just splice into your reverse wire. Super easy.

x2. And be careful where you route the video wire. I fished mine through the liftgate (license plate backup camera) and cut the crap out of my hands doing it. Unfortunately the way I routed the wire all the way to the front (over the rear dome light panel and around) was bad, because many months later I did some other work up there and had to reattach the rear dome plastic - video wire got damaged. So all of that work lasted ~1year until I basically cut the video signal. I just see black on my headunit when I back up :suspicious:

So your hand was cut and you don't have the backup camera.

Sounds like a good deal to me, lol.
