I read either here, or on can-amforum.com someone had modified the panel around the shifter with a bolt that would hit the shifter to give you a ground connection when in reverse and trigger the camera, lights, etc. I've thought about looking into the instrument cluster for a wire to the reverse light indicator but haven't taken the time to dig into it yet to see if it's a signal trigger, or a data wire. Couldn't find the thread but here's the video of what he did. Edited March 4, 2023 by Phaez1

You can use a microswitch mounted in the shifter assembly to catch when the lever is shifted into reverse. I know there is a guy that makes backup light kit that does that.
