DIY Electrical Work inside/outside your car!

I do have a Head Unit and Reverse Camera install project coming up that I may need guidance on. i.e. where to tap into the reverse light for camera activation and where to splice the wire for the parking brake interlock for the Head Unit. Although, I have a bypass for this coming that may negate that need. Hopefully the instructions are clear.

Also, debating whether or not I want to do a video out from my phone to the Head Unit or the iMid for navigation purposes.

hmmm well those are all things i would need to take pictures of for you

making diagrams won't really help you Do you know how to make T splice on stranded wire?

Nope. I know nothing about wiring other than the basics of home improvement (e.g. outlets/switches/fixtures) and how to solder a Head Unit harness.
