I have a trunk keyhole mounted camera installed pre-wired and ready to go. I at first wanted to be able to switch to the camera on the fly. I had later found out that my head unit (DVH-P5000MP) doesn't have another video input for me to hook up the camera. I bought a video switcher to solve the problem.

A few months pass and i forget about getting the video switcher installed into my car. I have the video switcher brand new in the box, untouched. Thing is NOW, i changed my mind and I want the camera to come on when i put the car into reverse. Do i still need the video switcher?

 

damn, nobody knows????

 

Yes youll still need the switcher, but it wont go auto on in reverse, unless the switcher is left with the camera input on.

 

Probably the only guy who wuold just chimed in!
