Reverse Camera activation without switch
For those of us that already have the navi-tv-dvd mod, I wanted to know if anyone out there who has installed a back up camera, had figured out how to have the navi-screen automatically switch to the camera view when in reverse; as in without the need to flip the switch that alternates between the normal screen and the one for the dvd/tv screen. I would hate to always have to switch the view on the navi, just to see the back up cam; this would be most inconvenient.
I guess you would have to have done this mod to know what I am talking about.

Brandon is correct.
Depending on your interface with the Navi, it should have a specific wire that ties into the reverse lights. Anytime your reverse lights are activated it automatically overrides whatever video source playing on the nav screen to your camera.
I have an "On - Off - On" switch as well on my dash to the right of the VSA/mirror controls. One position "does" allow me to select rear-view mode at all times, the other position is for DVD's etc.. The "off" position gives you the factory display. As mentioned though, it still doesn't matter what position the/my switch is in - if I shift into reverse, the camera overrides..
