Russ,
The rear cameras are a work in progress. I have the Silverleaf switch that Newell uses to do the switching, but am still thinking about that part. The way that I figured out about the heat was in my research I traced the wires coming from the mirror. The thick white and black wires are the heat wires and they are tied down to the main ground and Right Rear Turn terminal in panel in front of passenger. Pretty sure that is not correct.
My plan for the cams are to route the signals from the mirrors and backup cams along with a signal from an Apple TV through the switch and display on the drop down LCD monitor by driver. I want the mirror cams to show when I have turn signal on, and the backup cam the rest of the time unless I have chosen the appleTV.
The point of the apple TV is to have my co-pilot be able to pull up something on their iPad and show it to me on the LCD panel. (I know that is a lot of sugar for a dime).
Anyway...the first thing is to get mirrors wired correctly...and I am thinking that I DO want a mirror heat switch.
Cheers,
bill
