BTW, sent you several emails.
Joe,

I just replied.

So there's a couple of SSMs to deal with weird/inoperative nav on stync 3.

I have the front camera and don't find it useful at all. I much prefer the old sonar system which is helpful when parking close to walls.

Hey Chris - any chance of the camera activation being made via the factory 360* camera switch ?

Unfortunately not with this system, sorry. We offer the full 360 add-on by Brand Motion that would use the factory 360 button but it's a lot more expensive.

The idea behind using the radio power button is that it helps keep the kit cost down because there is nothing additional needed. Everyone has a radio power button.

On a different note we continue to iron out the SYNC 3 navigation quirk in the firmware and are still awaiting a new firmware solution from the engineers. For now, if you have SYNC 3 with Navi please know that your GPS will drift when the additional cameras are activated while in motion. It typically takes less than a minute for the GPS to re-cage but nonetheless it is annoying. I'll post an update once we have words that it has been resolved.
