Default video

This video shows putting the truck in Reverse with OE back cam, then putting in Drive and it flips to the front cam for 30 seconds or 7MPH, whichever comes first. It's handy for maneuvering out of a tight parking spot.

Default video2

This video shows the side cameras activated with the turn signals. They stay on the entire time while the signal is blinking. They also work using the half-click turn signals for lane changing. However, you better look quick because it's not up for long, just the 3 blinks of the turn signal.

I still want to tweak the viewing angle of the side cams a little.

Default video3

This video shows the manual activation by holding the radio power button for 3 seconds which always brings up the rear camera first, then each push of the button will cycle back and forth to the front camera. It will stay on until you turn it off by holding the radio power for 3 seconds again.

The OE rear camera will always take priority over the others when in Reverse. For example, if you have a turn signal on and the side cam is up, if you put it in reverse, the OE back cam will come up.

Can you confirm that the manual activation work at any speed while in drive ?

Disappointing to hear about the side cam not included in the manual cycling...

Yes, you can manually activate the cameras at any speed.

@TexasFording or @carrierj, If you power the system off with the radio button does the OEM reverse camera still function as normal?

Yes, it all functions as normal. Holding the button for 3 seconds will turn it on. It will stay active until you hold it for 3 seconds again to disable it. The power button still operates as normal with one click.

Happy new year everyone.

Here's my video. I uploaded it a month ago, but never got around to posting it.
