Thinking of doing this and seen this kit:

Now they mention fitting a relay when the vehicle has the CAN (Bus Controller Area Network)-BUS. So would the coil of the relay be powered by the wire to the reversing light or would this cause a problem and it need a separate switch to turn the reversing sensors on that is independent of the light?

I've got a set of non standard no wifi Sensors wired straight into the reversing light, no relay , been like it for years , never had any problems nor interference with the bulb sensing circuit , actually don't think the reversing lights are on the sensing circuit ?

On the 75, no the reverse lights are not sensed. Driven by the gearbox switch on a manual, or a relay from the auto gearbox selector.

Thank you both for the replies so an easy job to install on my aluminium clad, wooden framed portable accommodation unit - try turning that in to 'shed' :lol:

Funny, you know. Ours is fibreglass clad. So for the first time, the auto correct is almost right for ours.

Yes but calling it a shed is a step too far , all we need is 100,000 signatures on a petition then we might get it changed
