What did you do to your XK today!?

[AJeepZJ]

I ordered some electronic goodies to make my life easier I hope for my cross country tow trip. I plan to install a rear view camera on my trailer and got a small monitor to mount on the dash so I can see whats going on around me, the monitor has dual video inputs, so I plan to install a second camera on the XK that will be on always instead of only when in reverse.

Most of them kinda do this already, or so I thought. My Nav unit obviously comes on automatically in reverse. But I can also go into my video feed and select the rear camera at any time. I typically do this a lot when I'm parked in an unfamiliar area and I'd like to keep a close eye on everything around me. I also turn it on when I'm wheeling so i can see obstacles behind me.

Superacerc stopped by on his way to VA. We hung out shooting the breeze for a bit while I put some stickers on the jeep. I tried to feed him but he said he had to get going LOL I don't think he knew what he was passing up hahahaha.

He's who I'm calling when I need radio help man. He has a pretty sweet setup in his XK to include a ham radio. I'm also going to steel his speaker locations for the radios as well.

My CB audio goes through my front speakers. But his XK looks pretty sweet.

I've got factory NAV/rear camera, and without a lockpic I have no control over it. I thought about probing some wires to see if I could throw a switch in to trick the rearview into turning on, but I just don't have the time right now, so the extra camera was less hassle. Maybe once my trip/move is over I'll dig into it a little more and have a front camera and switchable stock rear camera.
