Expert Reply:
To use the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System # HM50002 you would need to splice into your reverse wire behind your tail light. You can absolutely use this hardwired way of installing this camera system. The easiest way to do this is to use a Quick Splice Wire Connector - 14-18 AWG (Qty 1) # SWC501925-1 and connect it to the reverse power wire near the tail light and connect the purple wire of the harness for the camera.
