Hi All
I have just gotten hold of a Toyota SATNAV system that as I understand can take a reverse camera.
Adding a single camera is pretty straight forward, find the plug needed and connect it (simple in those words).
But as usual I want to take it to another level.
I have a camper trailer and so I want to be able to switch between cameras - either the reverse camera for reversing and hooking up and then to the rear van camera when travelling (and keep it on constantly).
The latter of keeping it on constantly should be fairly easy from what I have read so far in that the reverse gear selected signal just needs to be spliced into and switched accordingly by a switch on teh dash.
Its the former that is more the issue at the moment.
As the unit only has a single AV input I need an AV switch (well V only) so I can select between cameras as desired.
AV switches are a dime a dozen when considering your home entertainment system, problem is they dont have remote switching. I want something that will allow a switch on the console so I can select the camera.
While I am at it, I amy as well make allowance for a forward facing camera a well. So baskically I want a three in one out video switcher with a remote trigger to select the desired input (having three makes it a little harder, so it two is the easy I will stick with that)
Has anyone got a switching setup in their rig yet and if so any leads on how to do this in a vehicle.
