Reversing / Park Brake Wires
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2015 8:54 pmMoving ahead with my slow install in my 2004 Liberty GT and had a quick question regarding the best attachment point for some wiring - specifically the reversing and park brake wires from the head unit.
I was proposing simply to earth the park brake wire. I won't be watching videos and this seems the most simple solution. Are there any downsides?
The reversing wire I am less certain about. There is a post which mentions a wiring harness near the fusebox that I could tap into, but that requires removing more trim and rerouting the wire, which is presently running between the seats, which in turn means pulling the head unit out again. Any suggestions?
Install:
Stage 1: Alpine iLX-007E Carplay Head Unit, Alpine PDR-F50 under the passenger seat
Stage 2: Hertz HSK 163 in the front doors, Hertz ECX130.5 in the rear doors
Stage 3: Hertz ES 250.5 in an enclosure in the boot, Alpine HCE-C91C reversing camera
