Hello, I have fitted a power point for an inverter to use the ctek charger. The power point is live when ignition off, so operates the Bestek 300w inverter. Up to yet it as been working very well keeping the battery topped up. You can have this on even when driving, has anyone any thoughts on this good or bad. Regards Steve.

Hi Peter, yes they do use batteries I have read a lot of people who have had problems with the batteries, even to the point of running fine they turn it off for 10 minutes and the battery is dead when they go to start it again. Mine had a new battery on last year when I bought it I do use it every day and when I start up I listen for any drop in power and drag it does fire up very quick though. Regards Steve.

Hi Mike, all I know is that on the s type is that there is 12 volts at all times even when the ignition is off. When running if the brakes are operated the volts go to ground as with all the lights when used accordingly, that then turns the camera off as it looses its 12 volts feed when reverse is selected. My problem is where do I put the camera wire to and Do I need to fit a relay to over come this. Thanks Steve.

Hello all, I have a 2005 s type petrol 3.0 v6 auto it is a Japanese import. I purchased a remote back up camera and monitor, and fitted it (only a 20 minute job not). I cannot work out what is going on,I have put the ground on a designated earth, I found the reverse wire it is number 4 on the block of seven wires it is black and red or orange wire I have 12 volts on it with out going in to reverse, when reverse is selected it goes to 0 volts and the reversing lights come on as they should but loose all power to the camara. I have checked all diagrams and they all show number 4 as the reverse wire. Hope some nice person knows the answer.
