Cool PICS- Reverse Camera Installed!
Well,

I did the install. I just plugged it into the AV1 port in the TV Tuner, so to access the reverse camera, i press VIDEO, then AV1

I am still looking for a solution, to tell the Command to automatically switch to AV1 when put in reverse, but for now this will suffice.

The advantage of this i guess, is i can switch to the Rear camera, when ever i want, and since i have VIM activated, it can stay on the screen.

I dont know what the advantage of being able to watch the rear is, but it looks cool i guess.

I integrated it into command, by connecting it to Video input on TV Tuner.

Not sure if US cars have TV Tuner. I just press VIDEO button, then it comes up with 4 options. DVD, TV, AUX1, AUX2.

AMG how you connected power to cam?
Sellers saying to enable reverse activation you need to connect power to reverse bulb power in the trunk.

Very easy

I have parktronic but having a camera with that makes things a lot easier esp since my daily beater Accord has one.... I don't think US has the video option..... Any work around?
