Radio Live Wire Connection For Camera

[Bladerunner]

Hi fellow members,

Merry Christmas

I know that this is not stricly the correct place to post about my new Transit Connect van (pics in transit section) but I thought more of you might see the post.

Anyhow I have bought a reversing camera and I plan to have it constantly on when the ignition is live.

There are reccomendations to connect the live wire to power everything from the radio, now what I need to know is if anyone can tell me which wire to connect to so that when the ignition is off so is the camera and monitor, I have noticed that the date and time constantly show on the radio ,so is it possible to do what I am asking about.

How do I remove the radio from the dash to get to the wires.

The radio is a 6000 cd model.

Thanks

Martin.

As per this diagram then, switched and permanent live feeds are in red.

Hi Clive, thanks for the info- am I correct in assuming this is to be found at the rear of the radio rather than the main fuse box?

Thanks

Yes.

The diagram is a representation of the connector for the back of the radio.

Locate the wire corresponding to the correct connection and tap in at a convenient place.
