    If you want to disconnect the battery undo the 10mm nut on the black terminal to loosen it's grip and pull off the clamp.

    I'm no expect on this but I would have thought you'd want to tap in to reversing bulb so camera powers up when reverse engaged.

    Pip, no need to remove the battery if you want to fit a rear facing camera (or a front facing one for that matter). Scroll down the threads on this forum and you'll come across my 'fitting a reversing camera' topic. It's pretty easy and cheap to do.
