I bought a wireless rear view camera a while back. I wonder if there is positive (+) connection from ACC (when the key is is in position 1 and up) in the read gate of GX470.
Thanks

I thought about that. But I want to be able to view the rear at anytime not just when I back up. Has anyone have instruction of how to open the door panel of the back gate? I can take a look with multimeter once I get panel off.

Nothing in the tailgate that will have a switched circuit. It's either when your lights are on (license plate lights), wipers and defoger, or reverse lights. No easy way to get around it.

On my sc430 I have back up camera through the nav tool its installed so when you back up camera comes on and image shows on nav screen . I installed another toggle to the rear back up lights so I can trigger it when I am going driving forward. I can then see whats behind me on my nav screen. I will have to check and see if when I toggle the switch when driving forward if the back up lights come on . I never thought to look, I am guessing that they must. By the way the 12 volt power to the camera only comes on when in reverse. normal forward operation it is off. When I flip the toggle switch the camera power comes on [ will check and see if reverse lights also come on, I will report later
I also noted that if i am under navigation guidance and flip the switch for camera to turn on screen will show whats behind me and i still will receive voice commands even though the screen is not showing me the navigation . I use it a lot this way.

I checked and the reverse lights do not come on when i activate the toggle to switch the camera on while driving forward. I must of tied in the switch and wiring independent of the back up switching in the shifter
I did this the wiring three years ago and I forgot where i tied in the wiring. Probably I am better off not having reverse lights come on when i am driving forward.
