Camera + Bosch Performance Line CX (Gen 4)
I have an Innovv K5 front and rear camera system, which has come off my motorcycle, and I was interested in seeing if it was possible to run it with a Bosch Performance Line CX (Gen4) (Smart System) as fitted to my forthcoming Riese and Muller Supercharger GT Rohloff. I am assuming a 2023 build.
It comes with a converter with the following specifications:
Voltage Input: 9-18V
ACC Input: 9-18V
Voltage Output: 5.3V +/- 0.2V
Max current: 2A
Is there an auxiliary output from the Bosch Performance Line CX (Gen4) that could possibly power the camera? Has anyone tried doing this or similar? I have seen some discussion of lights at the EMTB forums, which is not encouraging, but hey, if you do not ask …

I should preface this that my ebikes have Gen 2 and Gen 3 ... but figuring that Bosch would be consistent in their designs, the plug receptor layout for Gen 4 may be similar.
There are plug receptors along the left side of Bosch motors, inside the outer cosmetic cover. Two of these receptors are for lights, with consistent outputs.
See attached - I think the two receptors for lights may also work for an auxiliary system. You should test these receptors' outputs before risking your camera system.
You would also need to splice together your camera system lead with Bosch's proprietary lead and their plug
