[QUOTE="Starway, post: 497390, member: 32798"] Hi, ok great I’m glad we have found some sort of solution, only problem being is that I am stumped in wiring it up properly. I think I understand but I’m not sure really. So so I order to have the switch working as I want I need to get 2 1amp diodes ? As I’m guessing the reverse lights and camera won’t each take more than 1 amp. I would twist the cathode sides together and wire the monitor input to that twisted joined side. I would wire 12v from the reverse lights power + to one diode end I would wire a permanent 12v + ignition wire to the other diode end I then then would connect the switch in between the permanent supply before going to the diode ? In line so that it just breaks the circuit from the perm at live from reaching the diode ? ‘’Is it that simple ? Could you maybe provide some sort of diagram with the diodes, sorry for so many questions and so much rubbish which must be so basic. I just want to get it right and learn something thanks again for your time james Im still confused from the diagram , that looks amazing but to me it’s slight complex > could you explain it with my wires I have and what to connect ?
