This solution sounds a lot easier to use than the radar idea I had in previous thread, especially if it automatically activates at <3mph in forward gear (I assume no wheel button required?)... I presume R gear will engage backup camera as always.

If this isn't a fully packaged product kit, can you at least provide a list of component parts required so that we can shop on our own?

I hope Jason can answer more questions?
The camera in reply #13 seems to be spoiler -mounted?
If that is a curb at the end, it makes impression of retaining wall
Usually front cameras are mounted about 2 ft above the ground, so you can see more traffic.
I also am keen on automatic switching on. I am already annoyed with my rear-view camera, that takes over GPS screen when I need it the most.

Does anyone know anything about this Burtman Industries? Jason's phone number AC "717" denotes south central Pennsylvania. This is an automotive accessories company. Has anyone done business with Burtman Industries?
No, Jason has not answered my email. He may not be there anymore, in which case I'd like to find someone else there...

That's ME. I don't always get notifications replies on this forum. I also get a new phone that I had to restore as new and lost older messages. So if anyone has texted about this, please text again, 717-319-2100

I installed the Joyeauto wireless Carplay module and adding a front camera was very easy. The front camera comes on when the car is shifted into drive for about 20 seconds.

Can you install both front and rear with the Joyeauto then? Do you have pics / threads about people discussing the front camera install? thanks
