Reverse Camera manual turn on.

[and1939]

Does anyone know a way to manually turn on the reverse camera. When I tow with some of my other vehicles you can turn on the reverse camera to see what's going on.

I know I could manually add a camera and screen but would prefer not to.

This hasn't been figured out (or, more accurately, deeply looked int) as of yet by anyone.

I know some Toyota products allow simple activation by the addition of a switch across several terminals of the head unit wiring, but other European vehicles require a module to reprogram the headunit to allow this. Which way it will work with the Grenadier remains to be seen

should be simple if we had any wiring schematics

Except if the camera is started by a CAN bus signal.

Add your own. Others have done so already.

This really is the best and most direct solution, especially given that there is a forum discount for the Wolfbox camera/mirror

Thanks. That sounds like the way to go and then just add additional cameras for under neath side etc. I plan on putting my Rhino rack on as soon as the mounting brackets come in. It would be cool to have 360 camera up top as well.

When off-road mode is engaged, we get the option to switch on the camera.

It would be good if this option was available all the time.
