Reverse Gear Wiring?
 
I have installed a reverse camera and connected a wireless transmitter to it; however, the receiver needs a power source in the front of my car that is only active when in reverse. How can I access a power source that is only on during reverse, and is in the dashboard area. I have a Honda Accord Coupe EX-L 2004
Thanks

Is this a manual or automatic transmission?

Automatic V6 Engine

The back-up (reverse) light is a green wire. One area to splice into would be at a 24-P white connector located next to the DLC/OBD-II port (under the left side of the dash). The green back-up wire is at terminal no. 23 of the 24-P connector.

If you take some pictures of the connectors right next to the DLC port and post them, I can probably add notes to the images you post.

DLC Port? Where is that? The extent of my knowledge is I opened the console to install AUX before, other than that I am quite clueless on locations of things inside of the car.

The Data Link Connector (DLC) is the same as the 16P OBD-II port. Look under the driver's dash on the left side.

That port is used to attach a cable connector for an OBD-II scanner/reader or Honda's Diagnostic System (HDS).

Do you have Skype or something that we can talk on? Frostin8897 is my Skype
Would it be to the left or to the right of the wheel?

You'll need to remove the under-dash cover to get a better view and gain access. See attached image for the area you'll be looking at.

After you remove the under-dash cover, take some clear pictures of the 24 pin White connector's wiring.

Refer to step number 3 that are part of this link to remove under-dash cover.
