Wiring HELP?!?! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

GAHDOOSH · 07-02-2013, 04:49 PM

I am adding a camera to the front and back window.
I am looking for the following:

An ACC(or remote wire)
A constant wire
And a ground wire

Obviously I need to find these wires at the front and the rear of the vehicle.
Any suggestions would be enormously helpful
Thanks

Shouldn't you be able to use the reverse light wires for the rear camera? They'll be automatically switched for you.

It is likely that the reverse camera is only given power when you shift into reverse, but I'm looking for something inside the car like near the rear speakers.

Ignition - Pink BCM green 25 pin plug pin 6
12 volts - red/white BCM white 26 pin plug pins 2 and 3 or bcm blue 27 pin plug pin 4
ground - a duh

Just run them to the back.

Rears:

Accessory: under the rear armrest cap is a green wire for the 12 volt power point. It is fused, and only comes on when the keys are in the ignition. Run an extension from this under the carpet and rear seat to your desired location. To get really fancy, wire a switch into this line.

Constant: run a smaller wire from the battery and follow the big wire track towards the rear shelf.

For ground, there are some studs under the rear deck that are excellent. I am using them with my amps. I tested them, and they have really good connections to the battery.

Wires can be run up the sides of the trim around the pass-through opening to get to the rear shelf.
