So I have a 2012 2SS/RS with BA System, Onstar, and rearview cam, I am about to install a new scosche kit and Kenwood DNX 890HD. I have a few questions. Does anyone know where I can tap into my backup cam feed to make it display on both my mirror and new head unit. Do I need to install a resistor with the new version of the scosche kit to make my steering wheel controls work? Also I have to Kicker 1000.1 amp in my trunk that is currently grounded straight to my battery and even with a 2 farad cap it dims the lights, where would you reccommend grounding it seeing as I have a ******** 2 12" box w/ 2 kicker 12 inch comps?

Pin 1 and 2 are white and brown and are video + and - respectively on the mirror

Thanks, I wonder if anyone knows what size or PN blade terminals people like Mirror Tap use to tap into the mirror. I could manufacture something like they have setup pretty easy. Unless there is an easier place I could splice in with enviromentals further down along the video line.

I would just peel back the coating around the factory harness near the mirror and run your wires thru there then solder them on.
