Hi all, the power (+) wire for the boyo vtl400 camera is in close proximity to the video wire (yellow) so that means i cant tap the power from the reverse light near the trunk. So my question becomes, can I tap that power wire into the yellow battery line from the D3? I am also tapping the bluetooth power from that line so I'm afraid that there wont be enough power? I'm no electrical guru so I don't know how the current flows. (I assume I can tap all the grounds together too)
Help pleaseThis is what I'm talking about.
Please let me know if this will work.Top left (from Boyo) Top Right (for Bluetooth) Bottom Left (D3 harness)

Shouldn't be a problem at all.

Do not tap into the yellow wire because the camera will be on all the time even when the car is shut off and your batter will be drained. You need to extend the wire (which is waht I did) and tap into the red wire on the D3 harness. This will turn on the camera only when the car is on.
