[QUOTE="The Car Stereo Company, post: 228902, member: 7124"] there is a way to do it. it would require a relay, so it can be used normally but when you flip the switch it turns on instantly. you will need to find the wire that connects to the back of the radio that enables the front camera. depending on what type of signal the switch is (+ or -) if the switch is a (-) trigger then you need to connect power ( usually a true ignition source) to 86 on the relay and 85 to the switch you are going to use. if it is a (+) trigger then you need to connect ground to 86 and 85 goes to the switch. the rest will all be the same from here on out. take the line in to the radio and cut it leaving enough wire on both sides to solder/crimp a longer piece of wire so you can put the relay farther back in the dash. take the radio side of the wire ( the cut portion of the wire that is plugged in to the radio) and connect to 30 of the relay. take the car side of that cut wire and connect it to 87a of the relay and finally depending on the type of trigger the camera wire is connect that accordingly. ex. if the camera wire is (-) then connect 87 to ground. if the camera wire (+) then connect to ignition of the vehicle. also you need to check to see if the camera is always on or not. if it is not then you need to do the same thing as mentioned to the camera power wire so you can turn the camera on and then "trick" your radio into thinking you are in 4 low locked or whatever mode you need to be in to activate the camera. and yes it most likely can be done with oem nav but you might need a piece from navtv to make it work at higher speeds. usually oem navs cut any kind of video or nav options ( typing address) above 15 mph. i am an installer let me know if you need more help [/QUOTE]
