Brilliant thanks, yeah it’s just the 2 wire kit.

Admin need to duplicate part of this post and make it a sticky.

I'm happy to answer any questions as I've done it.

Just take care taking off the panel. Most of the clips are into a solid socket but the left centre one clips into the panel to its left so wobbles and needs extra care, off and on.

Also, the 3 connectors just slide out once you've found each ones locking tab that just needs squeezing in.

Update :

After realising I'd positioned mine too close to the centre cowl I've repositioned :

I've got a wide 140° Viofo so this originally happened :



I've repositioned whilst checking the minimum distance and it's :



6cm from the cowl



Proper Job !

Not sure if it matters but that purple wire is marked "reverse" in katakana. It is probably power for a rear facing camera to help when backing. It is a very common feature here as everyone backs into parking spaces all the time rather than driving in and backing out.

Yes that wire becomes 12v active when you select reverse.
