Backup camera parking brake and reverse light wires
Is there a location in the cabin to tap into the parking brake and backup light wires? This is to support a double DIN radio install with a backup camera. It looks like I can just vampire tap the blue/brown wire (in photo), but can anyone confirm? I was hoping to just tap into the reverse switch for my reverse camera but it doesn't look like I have access from up top. Anywhere else I can tap in? I can do this at the light but that seems silly. I included a photo of the install so far. Parking brake
Had to run a wire for the backup camera so I just tapped into the light. If someone has the answer please post it for the next person that decides to do this project.
