[QUOTE="jjjaymmman, post: 18371, member: 902"] [b]Camera[/b] [I]'m a little confused on what you are asking. I have a rear camera installed on my truck, but I added a on-off-on switch so that I can turn the rear camera on while driving forward. The screen on my display will automatically turn on when there is power to the camera. Here is how it works. 1) On one of the ON positions the camera works normal (comes on when the vehicle is in reverse. 2) Off position, camera is disabled 3) The other on switch is jumpered off my 12V outlet and applies power to the camera automatically turning it on (simulating like it was in reverse). To do what I think your asking, I could add a second switch that will swap the video line (not power) over to another camera (possibily with an RCA video switch). I would just wire the front camera power wire to the same as the rear camera power wire. The send both video lines to a seperate switch to go back and forth to which ever I want to view (2, 3, ++ video-in w/ one video-out to the display). Additionally, If you want a seperate light I would wire that seperate from the camera switch. If you have any question or want a diagram let me know.[/I] [/QUOTE]
