Yeah more functionality your way!

I've turned off the auto delay now until I get this worked out because I don't trust myself seeing the reverse picture and not thinking I'm in reverse.

MSFT to QNX, everything is different including the APIs that were used to interface with the ACM/APIM

Nobody messes with retrofitting OEM cameras because the quality is sub par and they are overpriced. This is why we retrofit an OE style front camera that looks exactly the same but will be way easier to wire and will be a nice clear picture. No need to go OEM when you can get our camera in an OEM bracket and the quality is better.

Yes but you have to use our interface module as Lockpick is not compatible. We should have all the different combinations on the web site soon so you can buy the entire kit with the desired camera configuration. See the previous post about how all the cameras are activated on the 8" screen.
