Tapping into power source?

[HyeWarrior]

So I'm looking at retrofitting a reverse camera system in my non-idrive car. I have the basics nailed down for what I think will be a perfect system, but I need some input on the following:

-Does anyone know how to remove the DCT shifter and the surrounding trim?
-Does anyone know which wire for the DCT corresponds to the "reverse" setting?


The rest will be pretty straight forward, and I can even make a DIY if it's a success

Uh... May want to just tap the reverse light right? Not sure I'd want to play around with the shifter.

I'm asking so I can tap a power source for the monitor in the interior cabin. Wiring the camera is easy with the reverse light

I don't know if the reverse lights have their own fuse but if they do you can just tap the reverse light fuse behind the glove box with a fuse tap. Good luck.

Ahhhhh thank you sir! Hadn't thought of that one!

If you're looking for constant power use the accessory fuse, here's a great write-up.
