tapping into reverse light

[bronsin]

The premise of the back up camera is completely false. If the driver is not vigilant enough to look behind them WITHOUT the camera after a while they will cease to look at the camera antways.

Because the OP was thoughtfull enough to install such a camera he probably doesnt fall into the catagory of those who thoughtlessly back up unaware of the consequences of not doing so faithfully.

But that camera could be a trap!

It was originally developed for vehicles that truly needed it...i.e. large motor homes, cargo vans, etc., where rearward visibility is near zero. But somehow it's trickled its way down to the common automobile.
