Camera power source in the trunk
I'm going to install a backup cam in the rear. What wires do I splice to on the reverse light? Basically, which one is positive and negative? Colors?

My wiring chart says R-B is the power and W-B is the ground.

That's fine for a continuous power source, but not if you want a reverse trigger.

Reverse only camera vs rear view camera supply.
