How to add a front "trail" camera
I have an aftermarket rear view camera already installed that comes on my 430N factory head unit when I put it in reverse. I used the J scan app to allow the stereo to see the image. I recently came across another camera and harness and want to put in the front of my jeep to have better visibility when cresting a hill and other obstacles. I wired the camera up and wired it to a switch rather then the reverse light like how my rear camera is connected. But I can't get the head unit to show the image. I switched the camera wires going into the head unit and it turned the front one on when in reverse so I know it works. Has anyone connected a 2nd camera to the factory unit? And if so how did you do it? How do you tell the head unit to display the image? Thanks.
