Radar wiring help

LAVA · 07-21-2015, 05:10 PM

I'm trying to hardwire my radar up to my rearview mirror. I have the factory backup camera so there's several wires going into the rearview mirror. Does anyone know what wires to tap into?

Are you using something like this? I just installed this last week and it was super easy.

black/red - switched power
yellow - always on power
black - ground
