Video tutorial

In this video, you can see how to install the reversing camera on the Opel Insignia MK1; it is not difficult, but it requires a bit of patience. First, locate the spot to mount the camera, which is next to the number plate light.

Drill a small hole and then pass the wire through the thickness of the rear hatch, from which you will have removed the plastic cover. The wire will run along the passenger side, following the trim that will be removed - these are snap-fit pieces, so they are easy to take off - then pass it under the scuff plate of the rear door, then the front one, until you reach the dashboard, where you will need to remove the lower part.

Next, reach the back of the car tablet; here, connect the camera cable to the other video connector. Very important: take the power from the headlamp, which is removed from the inside, while from the outside, just pull it and it comes off. The YouTuber indicates the reverse light from which we will take the power according to the diagram he explains (red with green and black with black).
