None. Reverse light signal is separate and located under the trunk, behind the bumper. (Unless the australian model is different?)

Also, this is a bad way to power reverse cameras depending on what head unit youre using. The stock head units test the backup cam upon start up to see if theres a signal, if not, it wont work even if you power it on later. So you'd have to start your car in reverse gear every time.

There are more threads with this info in detail, search around.

what colour is the reverse signal cable under the trunk? I have an aftermarket Kenwood head unit so this probably doesn't happen?

What happens to the backup lights when you unplug it?
