No problem.....I was just curious what kind of ambient lighting it was. If its just a normal ambient light kit I've already seen that, but I thought it might have been your cup holder light you have.
Anyway, back to my question a few posts up. Is the 4 LED lights in the reverse camera enough to light up the license plate okay or do I need to mod that too? (I have already done all the steps for the camera prep work.)

Good.....cause I got the first step done.
ADExternal......I think the DIY needs to be updated to show that the camera needs to have a 10 mm raise so it clears the garnish. This is posted later in the thread by another member but I saw it too late.

Ya, brightness is okay, but it's not as bright as it was with the other LED I had in there.

oooh ok, well i'm wondering now, what would be the difference with navi? wouldnt the imid have the same connections regardless if there was navi or not? i would think you can still put the pins in and it would work. but i'm just speculating

Nav units show reverse on the nav screen.

Navi units use a different camera and pin layouts.
