I went with a much larger project:
I installed 3 Clarion monitors (1 for the back seat)
A Clarion MSS1700 Video Switcher
1 - Front Camera
1 - Side camera
1 - Rear backup camera
1 - Play station 2
1 - DVD unit (seperate)
1 - Clarion TTX1701 TV Tuner
1 - GM Nav Unit
1 - XM Radio
1 - 12 CD Changer
The switcher allows any of the monitors to view the front camera, DVD, PS2 or the TV tuner
When I go into reverse, the GMNav unit shows the reverse camera
When I turn on my right turn signal, the GM Nav unit switches to my left side camera. A 3 second timer keeps the picture on in between turn signal blinks.
I also tapped into the GM Nav unit video so I can get video there as well with the flick of a switch. I installed a Clation controller at each monitor TSC-101.
The monitors have an AV1 and an AV2 so each monitor has a seperate RCA jack for A/V that the kids can plug something else into like a handheld game of a cam corder.
I cut into the fold down center seat in the back to install the VSS-1700 controllers and the play station.
The DVD is mounted below the Rear Radio Control, in what used to ba a little storage area.
It was a 2 week project from start to finish but it is now working. I am still tweaking it to make it more user friendly but it is coming along fine.
Let me know if you need any info on this project.
Thanks
Greg
