Easy Way To Tap Into Reverse Wire on C6
Here's another alternative for tapping into your reverse wire when installing GPS headunits. I just installed the DNX7100 and used a Littlefuse Mini Add-A-Circuit. In the passenger footwell, you just plug this baby into the reverse light circuit. Use the attached wire coming off the fuse to hook-up to your reverse sensor from your headunit. Done!

Thanks for sharing this tip, I really hate to tap into auto wiring especially if it is exterior wiring and prone to the elements. This presents an elegant solution to the problem. I plan to install my NavTech backup camera system later this year, it'll be interesting to see what the resolution is on the OEM nav unit. All I have to do is to be able to see the parking curb or what is behind me.

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this before!!! Does it actually work well for for a camera? We used to grab the light green wire in the harness to the right of the fuse box but now the rp5-gm11 has the reverse circuit built in.
