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.
Drove it to work for the first time in months:

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.Originally Posted by hoaxci5
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.
It's a good thing i skipped dinner cause I just got here on base! Note the time. Thanks again for letting me stop by Sal!
Edit: My computer is still on Central time It's actually 2229.
