• Installation does not require splicing wires on most cars, as you can connect the transmitter to any 12V power supply on your vehicle. It is typically connected to a switch supply, specifically the supply that powers the reverse lights on your vehicle. The following YouTube video on installation may help to clarify: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1tW_buzlX8 -OA
