Reverse Camera Install (E53)
Re: Reverse Camera Install (E53)
Hi Craig
You do seem to be struggling with this one mate. The power feed for the reverse lights is a blue/yellow wire you will find a small loom from the lower tailgate into the boot just right of centre. That is where I took my power from with a 5amp fuse inline to protect everything, then follow Sanj's diagram.
I would do that and test before mounting the camera (unless of course you have already done that) Even if you bin the camera still stick with Sanj's diagram, it really does work.

Re: Reverse Camera Install (E53)
I know I just don't understand it, even the electrician at work is struggling to understand what the problem is? Maybe I've knacked the camera by chopping the wires and cutting out the inline resistor (oops) but it's soldered back in. Just got this diagram
So gonna make sure everything is alright tomorrow and get the spark to check connections etc as something is odd with this one. Thanks for help lads

Re: Reverse Camera Install (E53)
looking at the wiring diagram for the relay is really confusing me. I thought pin 30 was always the +ve feed from battery????
Re: Reverse Camera Install (E53)

Re: Reverse Camera Install (E53)
Hi could the wiring diagram be posted back on for the e53 reversing camera thanks
