Parking radar capable of overlaying distance and directions over the camera video.
WIP means Work In Progress, sensors are not yet installed

Funny thing, I haven't found schematics where to find the backup light wire.
I though it would be in that free connector behind the rear right wheel arc, but no luck yet.

But I also have a good news too - huge Drawtite Class 3 hitch pointing out of bumper for at least 5"-6" seems not interfering with middle sensors.

I need to do this. So for power, are both the mirror and camera tapping into reverse lights for power so that they both activate at reverse or does the monitor only activate when it gets a video signal? If so, where are you making the reverse light connection?

Thanks!

Just installed the sensors:



The places for the sensors are similar to factory-installed ones.

Mirror display is connected to passenger's sun visor light. It turns on when there is a video signal on any of 2 inputs, and nput 2 has a priority if both are active same time.

Right now I take reverse signal from tail backup light.
Purple wire mentioned in a hitch topic as a backup light power is always on if the ignition is on regardles R or D.

And this monitor clips on to the existing mirror rather than replacing it correct? What does it look like from the side?

Now trying to get rid of clipping to stock mirror. There's a pit on the back of the display mirror for attaching the mount.



Looking for donor mirror to borrow mount from. Not yet ready to ruin stock mirror though.
