  • Switch to view camera on van when reversing

    Hey All

    So this is my situation , I have recently installed a new head unit in my prado (602c as seen in other threads) and i also got an extra cam for my caravan to run on the Aux channel.

    They work a treat, but while reversing the car cam is the dominate function.

    So what i need is a switch that will connect to the reverse sensor on the head unit and disable it while im reversing so i can get picture from caravan cam. any suggestions ?

    Thanks in advance

    I recently asked some questions of ozprox_ju which is the Mildura version of China or somewhere and they responded that there was some sort of issue with additional cameras on their systems.....maybe worth chasing up through the dealer.
    5. Is it possible to fit further camera/s to this unit – ie: forward facing or second rear view for a caravan, and is it possible to record vision through this unit?
    A: Yes you can. Front camera less hassle. Rear camera will make you lose IRCM features. Which camera you plan to install on top of rear reversing camera?

    Their item relates to: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271033027...84.m1423.l2649

    Cheers,

      Go to jaycar or dick smiths an buy an av switch and mount it in your glovebox or somewhere handy. You plug both cameras into its input and then the single output goes into your head unit where it's currently plugged in and then you just flick the switch to decide which camera you want it to show! Simple, cheap and very effective.

        Cheers Stotty,

        My unit runs both cameras ok, its disabling the reverse sensor wire while van is on, when i whack it into reverse the car cam takes over.

        i can get away with popping it back into neutral to get van cam picture but that gets annoying when your reversing a 2t van.

        What my idea was to by pass that reverse sensor wire to a switch so it can be easily disabled then when i hit it in reverse with van on it it will stay on that van cam.

        Apart form that they work well, hit AUX on display and get a live feed from rear of van while driving along

            Narva make trailer bases with either a normally open or normally closed reed switch built into the flap/lid, so it operates when your trailer/caravan plug is connected, which you could wire up to perform the function you're after.

                  I forgot to ask

                  does your head unit have a override in the menu to turn the reverse camera on while not in reverse??

                  what i thinking is power the actual camera with acc rather than the reverse light so if menu in head unit
                  can change to camera input the camera will be powered and working

                    No override on mine, I prefer while i'm not towing to have the camera activated by reverse light.

                    I have my caravan cam running on AUX channel which is a benefit as i can have it on anytime, cam is powered by tail lights on van. so when my lights are on, van cam is on.

                    was just a pain when van was hooked up and your reversing as car cam would take priority, all good now i can turn off the reverse sensor
