Where to put grounding wire for backup camera wireless adapter near OBD area?
Hi there
I searched the forum and found the backup light wire (green with silver pattern beside OBD input) and used a stripless connector to connect my wireless adapter. However the wireless adapter comes with black and minus wired thus I assume black is the minus.
Is there any minus/ground wire that I can share with?
Also there is a red wire from a monitor wire adapter which I assume is a plus + wire but is that necessary to be connected to the back up light as well? The monitor is powered by 12V cigarette power(soon will be powered from the fuse box when the power kit arrives) so I don’t know if it is necessary?
I successfully installed the rear part of wireless adapter(transmitter) and simply connected the minus and plus wires to the backup light wire (green and black) in the trunk.
I just need help with the front driver side.
Thank you so much! OBD side the + plus wire(red) is connected to the backup light wireless adapter video wire to the monitor wire. Not sure if I need to connect that red wire as well? Backup cam monitor
Backup cam wireless adapter (transmitter part) connected to the backup light wire both plus and minus(grounding) on the left. the one on right is for the LED license plate light connection. The LED light successfully turns on when I turn on the light Honda style LED license plate light with backup cam
