Hi guys, i mailed the guys at Camera Source and asked some questions, here are the answers:
1) Does it work if i allready have the Factory Rear Camera?
Yes but only on trucks equipped with factory navigation by use of a Lockpick. Trucks with mirror monitors are limited to one video input, which is being used by the rear camera.
2) Does it automatically switch between front and rear depending on selected gear (Drive/Reverse) when parking, or is camera selection done manually with some button?
Both. You can set the front camera to come on automatically or turn it on manually. The rear camera will come on in reverse as normal, but can also be turned on manually any time.
3) Is everything included, just plug and play?
We bundle this kit with the Sync Lockpick so you would have everything you need. No cutting of wires and everything simply plugs right in!
4) Is it possible to force the front aftermarket camera to stay on during driving?
Yes you can control any camera in any gear or speed.
I hate to crash the party late- but I would like some clarification on this OP.
I have Lockpick, and I had the factory rear camera, so I bought the lockpick front camera. THEN when we installed it, the backup camera wouldnt work if the front camera was plugged in. I called lockpick, and they told me the only way I could get both front snd rear cameras was to purchase an aftermarket rear camera, so I had to go out and buy a 300.00 kenwood camera and redesign the Rear tailgate logo camera holder to fit it. In addition, the camera isnt nearly as good as the stock one was, but was the only option if I wanted it mounted in the same hole the factory one was in.
To clarify, Lockpick NOW has a way to utilize both the front camera and FACTORY rear camera options? on a 2011? Please explain. You mentioned "if you make a special harness" in there somewhere...if that harness is available, where, or if not, can you give us information concerning how we would make a harness that would allow it to function?
thanks
Does anyone know the part numbers for the front camera washer or where to buy it?
