Was wondering if anyone would be able to give me some advice with the wiring of a reversing camera in my Fiat Ducato van (exciting eh), which I've yet to purchase I might add

I own a chinese style android headunit that has a colour screen, so it will be wired into that. When I stick the van into reverse, the screen changes to a screen with an icon that's basically waiting for a camera, so it's all good from that point of view

It's just the power wiring that I'm getting stuck with.

The unit has a long extension that combines video and power in the same wire. So from the looks of it, I need to find some power behind the headunit

But lots of people seem to mention wiring it to the reverse light, so it gets turned on when stuck in reverse. But how I am supposed to do this ? Run another cable from the reverse light all the way to the headunit? Seems a bit mad!

Any advice?

Many thanks!
