Installed avic-940BT, backup camera wiring question.

i would certainly avoid the test light when working on newer cars due to there low internal resistance they have a tendency to pass ground to whatever wire you are

In the case of a 12 volt + wire I would make an exception. Only because not everyone knows how to use a volt meter, and a test light could be easier. But yes you are right I would use a volt meter instead.
