DIY: Rearview Camera & DVD

pfdaxe · 08-31-2012, 09:51 AM

I'm looking to do this, can you use a rear cam via the aux in inside the console and be able to watch cam without having to be in reverse? I like to use cam to add in lane changing etc. Not sure if this was mentioned

Yes, the navtool has 2 inputs: video 1 and 2. One of those is auto powered via another cable input (aka when the reverse light comes out). The other input is powered by a switch. You would most likely want the input powered by the switch so you could just flip it and see the camera whenever you wanted.
