I connected power cable to the back light to black cable and green/yellow cable so it works only when put in reverse. I opened the top half way and then lifted leather cover where the top sites and ran cable through speaker where u ran and left there for now. Tomorrow i will start pulling apart center console and try to run cable from that space under center console to the back of radio. Just trying to run stealth mode for cable. I bought boss audio bv9386nv to replace old radio since mine doesnt have nav. Will update later on stereo installation
So finally finished installation today. Had to take apart center console and ran cable through there neatly. When hooked cable to stereo and put car in reverse no pic on screen. Then realized that there is reverse cable on stereo which needs to get signal from reverse gear. Instead of opening up everything again and get through the pain of running a single 12v cable all the way back to camera, i bought a flip switch and drilled small hole right next to stereo and installed switched there. Tapped one wire from switch to 12v and other to the reverse wire on stereo, whenever i put car in reverse i flip that switch and VOILA there is backup camera. Then just flip it back whenever done backing up. I will try to post pictures of flip switch later. If anyone likes the way i tackled and have questions lemme know i will help.
