Is it possible to activate the rear camera input on the touch screen?

technically it would be possible, albeit you would need a Faultmate to activate it. From what I've read, the problem is finding a camera (OEM one), if not, the other solution would be GVIF + Any other rear view camera.

you need to switch it on in the CCF [car configuration file]..apparently dealers cant do it but autologic and faulmate can..


as you probably already know there are 3 inputs on the back of the screen ,one of which is a rear camera input..you can fit an aftermarket nstc camera and hopefully activate it giving you an additional reversing aid.. ..

found a local shop that has autologic......said he hasnt done it before. I am in the US and have the naviagation accept screen and no destination input while in motion. Can this also be fixed with the autologic?

afaik you cant do anything about the 'acceptance' screen but the destination in motion can be done by a dealer so autologic should be able as well...

do i need any modules for the rear camera or just the camera and the autologic to activate it?

no modules just a 'smb ?' connector to go into the back of the screen and the camera/cable and of course the activation....

okay got the camera installed in one of the rear lic plate lights. New question is there some type of resistor that i can place between the wires so i dont get the "check lic. plate light" nag?

you can get a resister of ebay or wire in a bulb......i gather the camera bulb is a led then..

Well i removed the whole bulb assembely to make room for the camera. The camera doesnt have a light in it. Was hoping some knew the exact type of resister to put between the wires. Dont like the idea of a bulb in there because of the heat and possiblity of melting the wires.

.something like this will do the job http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Pcs-Gold-Tone-...5d2fa94ace
