    Hi everyone, I purchased a Wireless Backup camera from Auto-Vox. It requires connection to the 12V power of the reverse wiring in my 2011 Prius. I am not sure which wire it is in the tail light (I took a pic). Has anyone done this? Please help me...

    The connector at the bottom is the reverse light. The white/black is (probably) negative, and you're looking for the positive which is (probably) the red/blue. I would tap in to the red/blue one.

    You can do this 2 ways since I recently installed backup camera.One is to tap wire from driver side below the dash.pin 29 red wire which I found easy.Second is tap the red/blue for 12volt and any metal like screws for ground.
    Checkout the youtube video.

    When you say, tap.. is it by scotch lock or by any other means? I am also looking to install a wireless backup camera on my 2011 prius II.

    There are many ways to do it. A clean and simple way is to use a t-tap connector like this.
