Igntion live for a rear facing camera

Featured Replies

Im in the process of fitting a rear facing camera to my 2008 octavia,ive sorted the constant live & ive found that 3 of the four wires going to the wiper motor are live when the ignition is on & the engine running & the other is a earth,has anybody connected their camera using the wiper motor wiring? i was going to solder the camera wires into the live & earth that plug into the wiper motor. 

could use a scotchlock ? not the best but better than soldering. 

My Fabia rear cam is done that way,  I think the join was a little better than scotchlock though.  I think my mate did a soldering cut & shut with the wire going to the camera,  Was better in my opinion as essentially modified the loom to incorporate the extra feed.  :)

Thanks guys,i will stick with my soldering for the joints,a scotchlock maybe easier & quicker but it certainly isnt better than soldering to achieve a good connection.  :D
