CAM button/feature on Euro COMAND

Hi guys,

I saw while playing a DVD on the Euro COMAND a button called CAM. Although I don't have this green plug in the back, am I right that I could connect a camera to the COMAND?

Thanks!

CAM=ANGLE(i.e. Angle 1, Angle 2, etc). Many DVD title has that feature. Specially, on karaoke DVD, you use Angle feature to turn on and off the caption. Nothing to do with the green plug on the back of the COMAND. The green plug on COMAND is for Video portion signal when you have TV tuner install.

That is also where any video source can plug in like Back-up cameras, front view cameras, side view cameras.

Hm,

has anyone build his own permanent stay-on camera which could be in the back of the car?

Just a thought!
