Does the camera need its own connection
to 12v and ground in addition to the video
cable ?

Yes, I fed the wires into the trunk and hooked it up inside. Here's a link to the old posting here I used to show me how. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...-pictures.html

I used PosiTaps to connect my wires despite the NAVRGB's warnings. PosiTaps are way better than some of the other wire connection methods out there and I've never had a problem with them in the years I've been using them on cars & motorcycle wiring. Stripping, soldering & wrapping wires is "preferred" but not within most people's skill set (I was an Electrical Engineer so it's not an issue but it's also not worth the time from my point of view). I think most people here went the PosiTaps route. You can get them at WalMart sometimes or from Amazon.

Which wire is the oem vehicle's reverse signal wire ?

DiggerJim

Not sure if it's the same for all years but Pin 14 (yellow & red) on the 18 pin connector off the navigation unit is hot when in reverse. You can verify this by using a tester on it when someone puts it in reverse while you're in the trunk (driver has foot on brake ). You can also tap the backup lights as it's a bit tight back there trying to get the connector out and then you have to strip away some of the electrical tape around the wire bundle.

Does anyone have a 2010 SC out there? I had a camera in my '02 without a problem but in 2010 they put a HD based nav rather than a DVD based and I can't find an audio shop who says they can do it. Any suggestions?
