I'm trying to find the power signal lead for the backup camera. I decided to install the backup camera with the Xcarlink and I have to tap from the + wire when the car is put in reserve so the camera starts. Currently, I have the power coming from the rear back up light and this signal is not stable enough or either has interference causing the display to roll with horizontal lines. I'm told I can just install a relay in the current configuration and it will clean it up.

Nice! Thanks for that. Actually, I was hoping to identify the CCC + pin but not looking forward to opening up the IP again... I will stop by the store on the way home.
