I don't have the wiring diagrams for the IS250 model so I am going from the LS400 wiring. On the LS400 the supply to the photochromatic interior mirror is fed from the Dome fuse (10A) this also supplies the interior lights. The problem using this supply is that it is permenantly on i.e. not controlled by the ignition switch so therefore using it will mean the camera will also be on all the time which may be a good idea to monitor the car 24/7 but it may drain your battery excessively. If you only want the camera to operate when driving it may be an idea to find an ignition switched source for the camera and the sunroof contols would be a good location from which to obtain your 12 volts feed as this is a switched supply. I don't have wiring details but if you have a multimeter it shouldn't be much of a problem locating the correct wiring,tapping into this and then dressing the cable to the camera unit. Generally the current drawn on these cameras is small enough not to require a relay.

I've noticed how when a new member joins, there are very few that reply with a welcome. A very recent one had just one reply, but 105 views. It surely can't be that difficult just to welcome a new member, and it's good manners! Especially as we're often hearing it said that this is a friendly forum. Just my own thoughts

Doing this a lot more recently and it is a lot more fun than driving in auto. Selecting the gears you want and having the power on tap without pinning your foot and waiting for down shift is great! Seems to use more fuel but a lot more entertaining to drive. As you were.... Stu

I'm trying to understand why some threads that I have previously read, and which have new posts in them, show a link to "Go to first unread post" at the top whereas others don't. Anybody else experiencing this?

Exactly the look I was going for :) If I would let my 11 yo daughter pick, they would be pink :) Think I'd rather go with black ....
