no, I bought the vim204P which gives you only one video input which I used for my iPod video input and then output that to my rear screens......... They only way to get aux vid and rear camera is to send in your unit to mid city and they will "hardwire" custom inputs and then ship it back.....

was about to pick one up
so that means its either one or the other is that correct because the video aux in is used by the camera already?

ya but does the built in video out have audio out too?

I have the aux used for backup cam currently, but forgot about if there were audio jacks back there or not?
