In that case, can't we get power from the interior light cluster next to rear view mirror?

Of course he is. As long as he wants the camera to startup when he opens a door and stop when he closes it or wants to drive with the interior lamps on all the time.

Grrrrr, which sensors did you use, I am looking for some for my extra wires....
Which wire is used from the tow bar pack for the auxiliary power supply?

Parking sensors? Cannot remember off the top of my head. I got them from Eurocarparts as they were having a clearout to get rid of them. Got 2 lots for £20 a set. Fitted rear ones and front ones with the front ones disguised as a cruise control switch I got off the Bay (no cruise control on my budget model). The front sensors control box is in a waterproof project box from Maplin and slots bown the side of the air filter box. The drill holesaw that comes with the kit(s) was like butter so I got half a dozen cheapo tungsten carbide ones off the bay. You need a few as the teeth tend to drop off the cheap ones but they're only a £1 or so each. That rear bumper is hard as f*ck. In fact, getting the rear bumper off was the hardest part of the job. There's a bolt that holds it on up by the tow eye. What a PITA that was. Completely corroded and welded in place. The tow eye stops access and prevents getting the drill in to drill it out easily. Utter, utter pain.
Check the wiring diagram in RAVE for the supplemental 12V for your year and model. On mine I spliced in behind the nearside rear light cluster and put the aux. power socket in the boot. IIRC it was a yellow wire on mine. Think the supplemental socket reversing light is a green wire on mine, or maybe green with a lighter green stripe. I spliced in the parking sensors and camera trigger to the main reversing lights on the offside rear behind the light cluster. Like to keep it balanced!
I'll see if I can find the sensor box in the shed. Tend to keep the packaging ...

You would presumably be using pin 1 as ground. It may work, but relay 8 and fuse 15 are already well loaded.

Hmmm. There is a point.
