I've bought a dash cam with a rear mounted camera that needs to wire into the reversing light electrical circuit. I've noticed the lights (Original Equipment  LED)  are actually in the twin door . The car in the S model (originally without parking sensors) but was fitted with the Skoda parking sensor module as part of my purchase.

 

My question is is there a reasonably easy (preferably not taking the twin door too bits) wiring tap-in point for a 12v when reverse engaged so I can wire in the relevant wire on the rear camera 

Your car is can bus based so IIRC you can't just splice into the reversing lights.

My old Superb I was can based but I managed to tap in near the bulbs?

Perhaps try using the reverse switch on the gearbox?

What make of dashcam is it?

I take it it is the Mirror type that goes full view when reverse is selected

I have fitted a few dual cameras to taxis in my time and never seen one wired to reverse except for this feature which is only a extra not really needed

Perhaps this link may be of use?

 

My post refers to a 2009 model, don't know what changed by 2014.
