Yeah? Okkk Thank you for your patronising reply. I have no schematics It's a leased vehicle ergo, not mine where I get to choose what I do with it, even on a temporary basis. As you mentioned can bus, I knew exactly the downsides to cocking it up as I do not want to faff around fitting sub relays or even remotely mess the system up as its only just been updated and it's still not working properly, by SKODA themselves and I am not wishing to incurr a massive bill from skoda for repairs. And to make it really easy I'll pick up a 12v from the main fuse box on a less commonly used circuit such as the USB rear on fuse 62. Not that I need your approval for that but I'm letting you know for information Lastly, for your record, I'm am very experienced, familiar and knowledgeable with ELV, HV, electronics, can bus, profibus, ASI, PLC, servos, Robotics, automation systems, nuclear systems, avionics, weapons systems, ejector seats, LOTO, ETC being an electrical engineer for over 40 years!! I respectfully suggest you change your tone of reply as you have come across as quite patronising, and condescending. Good day sir.

AHhh, dammit Ill install a switch in the front to turn it on then, just needs a 24v to activate the reverse and I can pick that up from the fuse box. Its not a camera per se its a rear view mirror front and back camera (Wolfbox G900), the reversing comes as as part of it. Thanks anyway

Hey Can anyone tell me where to access the reversing light harness ? I have this car on a lease so cant go drilling holes for the camera over the number plate so it has to be mounted inside the rear windscreen. It also needs a trigger wire run to the reversing light positive. I've checked the "digital" manual and frankly its rubbish. I've checked google and on here and there are loads of variants so I cannot say exactly which one is correct. I could do with some idea of how to access the light cluster, I think there are two T20 screws I can see through the tailgate trim, but not sure. I don't want to have to de-trim the tailgate unless I need to. Which cable is the positive to the reverse light? As all lights on this are LED and I don't know if they change colour, I am not sure which actual light is the reverse to trace the cable. I checked and saw the indicator on, and I thought that one was the reverse, maybe it is underneath the indicator? Im an engineer by trade but the easier route is best but as it is a lease I dont want to have any screw ups on it or I will get penalties Thanks in advance
