Hola Civic friends! I'm on a mission to figure out how to install a Front Camera on my Civic. I have the 7" infotainment system with LaneWatch and a Rearview Camera, but I'm trying to figure out how to install a third camera.
Of all the videos I've seen, I don't see a third RCA video readily available behind the unit (wishful thinking). I'm supposing I need to get an adapter to add a third camera, but I don't know where to start or how to search for one. Do I just search for a "camera harness"?
I'm a novice with wiring, but I wonder if I could possibly split the Rearview Camera cable with the Front Camera cable. I suppose if only one is getting powered, then only one would take the video feed on the screen.
My plan is to wire the Front Camera to a dashboard button, so I can just turn it on or off when parking.
Any advice for wiring would be greatly helpful! I've looked at so many videos of people just showing that they have a Front Camera that works, but no notes or links about how to do it.
