i purchased a back-up sensor kit for this car. it has 2 sensors in front and four in back. the back hooks up to the backup lights. my problem is this. the system needs an accessory hook-up to power the display and front sensors. however when looking for a power supply, both fuse boxes have no extra accessory slot for additions. where would you tie in the system on the acc. side? i dont want to tie in to just anything because of the computers. can you help?

You can tie it in with the cigarette lighter positive wire. Just make sure there is another fuse between the cigarette lighter wire and your back up sensor. 2 to 3 inches maximum. Your back up sensor should come with a fuse in it. Back up sensor fuse should be less than the cig. lighter fuse Ampere. Example: Back up sensor fuse 3A, factory cig. lighter fuse 10A
