First problem. Being more specific: I unhooked the license plate light and replaced it with the EchoMaster camera. I then ran the video wire to the stereo head. I then connected power wire by splicing into the wires in the taillight that light up the reverse white light. The camera works and the light on the camera works but the second license plate not longer works. I did not make any changes to the secon light. I'm wondering if it's a low voltage thing. 2) It needs to be connected to a +12 volt source that only powers on when the vehicle is shifted to reverse. So I need to find the hot wire in the dash or shifter area.

I realize this thread is a bit old but I'm hoping that a few of you who responded are still around. I recently put in a new stereo head (JVC KW-V30BT) and the EchoMaster back-up camera. I'm having a few issues and I'm hoping one of you can help me out. First problem. When I connected the camera above the license plate the light on the camera works but the other license plate light no longer works. 2nd problem. On the back of the head unit there is purple/white wire that's supposed to be connected to the "reverse lamp harness" so that the camera will automatically turn on when the vehicle is placed in reverse. Where in the dash is this harness and what wire do I tap into? Thanks.

I just installed a new stereo (JVC-KW-V30BT) with a backup camera (EchoMaster). On the back of the head unit there is a purple wire with a white stripe on it that says it should be connected to the reverse lamp harness. This connection allows for the stereo to automatically switch to the reverse camera when the vehicle is shifted into Reverse. The purple/white wire is about 6 inches long. Can someone please help me locate the "reverse lamp harness" and the proper wire to connect this too. Thanks.

I need to remove the front bumper cover to repair some recent damage to it. What sequence should I follow? Thanks!
