At least that's is the basic logical answer .

That's what changing those settings allow you to do. It will allow you to connect more than one wifi network. That way you can continue to listen to your music and use the camera at the same time.

iPads have tons of glare. Will an anti-glare film stop the touchscreen from working? Or do you have to just put up with it?

Okay cool, I'm very interested in putting an order in. Is there any way you guys could get a wiring guide together for the factory backup cam? Just would like to do as much as possible without having to pay someone else to do it

Regarding your response and overtaking the wifi does that mean the camera will not work if I do that?

No, you can use the camera and your regular wifi at the same time.

Which ipad mini do you have?

Good question. I have Limo tint and my front windshield tinted to keep all the heat out, so I've never dealt with glare issues, Lol. I'm sure they have some kind of anti-glare screen protector. I'll look online and see if there are any.
