I was hoping to fit one of those combined rearview mirror front and back dash cams.
I did it easily in my '06 Jimny, just splicing into the reversing light wire.
I had the back of my Gen4 Jimny today hoping to do the same, but just couldn't figure out the wiring, and wondering whether to take the entire light cluster backing off behind the reversing light and go for it.
Were the whole unit not absolutely caked in thick mud, I might have bothered. But I was hoping one of the two wiring blocks more easily accessible might have a wire I could splice into.
Has anyone done this successfully yet? Cheers!

I am trying to fit the Suzuki reversing camera to my Gen4 but have got stumped by not being able to undo the wiring connector for the rear bumber.
I have spent ages trying to press the plastic latches but to no avail. Can any kind person give me some tips please?

1. Give yourself some room, try and lift the rear of the car on ramps or axle stands.
2. Clean out around the release tag. Make sure there is no mud stopping the mechanism
3. Wash it around with WD40
4. Trying pushing the connector in whilst initially squeezing the tag
5, Keep trying, it is painful but it will come.

What you see through the back window is pretty much how close the back of the car is to any object.
I can get ours six inches from a wall with no issues.

What you see through the back window is pretty much how close the back of the car is to any object.
I can get ours six inches from a wall with no issues.
I am head injured with lo-vision, only one eye, and lo-balance with only one middle ear.
With only one middle ear I need to be strapped in when moving so I don't topple when I move my head.
With only one eye, I have no speed perception or distance judgement ability, so the Lo-vision Kit of the Reversing Sonar and Reversing Camera with its guidelines working together make it possible for me to reverse park the car.
The Gen 4 Jimny with its excellent forward vision is the only car currently approved for my Disability, I have my annual review in November.
Would you like to come for a ride with me sometime?
