Im wondering if anyone has tried this? Hook up the rear view camera to have it come on with a switch bypassing the Reverse hookup and turn on the camera as a "rear view" mirror of sort... seems pretty simple to do.... just wondering if I'd be the first.....

 

Are you talking about a aftermarket unit?

 

It's pretty simple, I have a keyhole mounted camera. When playing FM, cd, mp3, or listening to ipod, the camera function as a rearview mirror. But while watching movies, the camera will switch when I put the gear in reverse or when I manually select the rear camera. Picture quality is great (VCD quality) even at high speed, zoom function and nightvision is nice. See picture #6.

No you would'nt be the first. But why would you do this? With you traveling the image would be very blurry.

 

Where did u get that keyhole camera from? and what headunit are you running?

depending on the camera the image may be backwards to what you are used to seeing in a rear view mirror. (whats on the left on the screen is right in the mirror)
Some of them flip the image. (my monitor does this, it also has a reverse input the switch it on when ever i go into reverse)
