I'm fitting a reversing camera (Camos Jewel 2) and would like some help in knowing where I can pick up an ignition live feed and a reverse trigger for the monitor. Has anyone fitted a reversing camera (twin) onto a A class Fiat based Carthago (mines a C-Tourer). A bit of a long shot but someone may have done it.

You could tap into pins 19 & 8 resp on the front of the fuse box under the dashboard

Thanks. Looks like you have a source better than mine (which is none!)
Elearn - widely available for download online. You need a CD or to create a virtual drive to run it on a PC but I managed it so must but very doable for anybody else.

What year is the base vehicle if after 2013 most of what you need is controlled by the canbus , before simply tapping into lines check first

Fitted cameras to all my vans, never managed to find the reverse trigger in the fuse box spent ours trying. I find it easier to run run a wire to one or the reversing lights.
For the ignition switched live feed I use the ACC wire to the stereo.

The van was wired for a reversing camera as part of the “basic” package. When the guy came to fit the tracker he found the monitor end of the cable along with a switched live connection clipped to it. No reverse trigger though. At a push I’ll use a switch!

Usually the units sold to enable the steering wheel controls for aftermarket radios to work on modern vans will have a reverse signal, the Pioneer one does.

Our reverse trigger cable is at the back of the head unit on the loom from memory green and labelled.
