I have a 2017 TAB 400 and I am trying to find the easiest way to get power for a rear view camera.  I am considering the license plate light or maybe a taillight? Any suggestions?  Thanks

    I tapped into the license plate wires on our 2021. That seemed the easiest route.

    I have a tab 320 cs and ran an sae line under the tab connecting to the battery which also has an sae connector.  I connect the battery to a tender or when in motion connect the camera and as long as battery switch is on, power to the camera.

    Thank you, that's another good option.

    I wired my camera directly to the battery with an inline switch that I can easily access from the exterior panel / storage space that has the battery switch on my Tab 400.
