Hi guys my name is Paul and I***8217;m a newbie to the forum and to Renault. The missus bought an Autovox reversing camera and I***8217;ve been researching how to fit a camera and some places say it***8217;s okay to splice into the reversing light power supply without causing a fault and some places say it is not okay. Obviously I want to do it properly so I thought I***8217;d ask for advice from some Renault experts. The car is a 2014 scenic. Thanks for any help and advice ye can give

4 pin relay ,,
86 FROM reverse lights
85 goes to EARTH
30 TO your camera,
87 from a known after ignition power supply, If your rear accessories socket is only live when the ignition is on, then you can use/splice into this
Make sure this has a 5 amp max rating fuse in it..
Try to find a power supply at the back of the car..
If at all possible, dont run a power supply inside your car, UNLESS you follow the exact route the main loom follows, ( It goes there for a reason)
This camera you are fitting, does it switch off after a certain speed eg 6 mph.
Or is the front camera on permanently when out of reverse..

Parking sensors will come with everything built into the box, if you are lucky you will have two reverse light bulbs fitted, or find both connectors at the back have the 6 wires, if yes, then use the other side for your parking sensors..
If you remove your rear bumper, you should find imprints to where the parking sensors should go, small pilot hole through, then drill from outside in..
But yes you can use the cars natural Earth for your camera, and your parking sensors..
You could use the same relay, as your parking sensors, along with your camera both together will not add up to 2 amp draw on the system..
