Ive got a diagram that has it taken care of. Ill post it when i get to work.

In regards to the camera that would be a smart idea just put the wire on a source that is only operable when the car is in motion and it should act just like your rear view mirror and yeah with the amount of power you're running you want to get that rear mirror off the glass sooner than later.

I agree.... Stock mirror would be fine with that power, but adding more weight to the window is going to lead to either a cracked window or no rear view mirror at all.

And any video source (ie: a movie playing) that the driver is watching while rolling in California will get you a ticket. Best to keep them below the window line if its up front or only viewable by the people in the back seat.

I wish I could get my tablet to take the video feed from the cameras somehow.

I'll figure something out. But ya the mirror is gonna go for sure.

So these aren't great pictures, but this is what I was thinking about.

From the driver side:

Passenger side:

And this is the little wire diagram I came up with on MS Paint! It basically uses the relay as a switch to switch back and forth between the two, using the reverse light to activate the coil on the relay which will close the switch, in turn turning off the rear view mirror camera and turning on the back up camera. The RCA's will go in a "y splitter" and into the one video input.

I guess, I could just got with option #3 as well, and still use this design, the only problem then is, instead of just moving my eyes I'll actually have to kind of look down to see the rear view mirror, so to speak. I do like it up there in place of the actual mirror though. Maybe I'll just take my chances. Especially if it's gotta come off anyway. I'll decide soon!

What if you just do a small 4" screen angled off of the center console facing the driver. I figure you don't need something as big as the 7"?

[scooter99]

Cause I've already got the 7". We'll see what I come up with.

That right there would be a ticket waiting to happen I think that screen needs to go into the center console and leave the windshield empty, plus like Black said you are only adding to your problem by putting something heavier up there.

Good point lol.

[scooter99]

Both good points. Ok maybe I'll just leave it in the center console, then still do the cameras, and it'll just have to be lower.

I came back from my run today at lunch, and found a little somethin somethin waiting for me! What ever could it be!?!

Yes, it's a brand new, let me say that again, a BRAND NEW Soundstream Rubicon Rub 4.600 amplifier. Should've bought brand new in the first place. Stupid me! Anyway, this in one of two. I'm waiting for the return money from the first set that I returned, and I'll pick up the second one.

Beautiful Plastic, has not been touched!

"Isn't she lovelyyyyy isn't she wonderrrrfulll", love the classic songs!

So there it is! One of two, two of two soon to come. Once I get the second amp, I'll have all the equipment for the cabin work to be done! Well I take that back, i'll need to get a 10" monitor still, but I can wait on that a bit I think!

That's all for now!
