I am yet to purchase my Android head unit (not MMI route) but getting mixed messages.

If I have an aftermarket front and reverse camera, will the front camera always be triggered after I switch from reverse to drive? If not always, how do I wire it so that it does so? By front camera I mean external front camera, not for DVR purposes.

Do all Android HUs support the front camera to turn on automatically or do I need to amend the software?

Do I need something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1PC-Car-F...-127635-2958-0
I hope not, looks like extra complexity.

Thanks!

Nobody here can say for sure. You would need to follow the directions provided by the camera and/or head unit.

I bought an auto switching unit but having a mare to get it to shutdown and revert back to the android screen once the image is not needed

Mine arrives next week
But it should turn off after 15 seconds right? At least that's what I thought.

What about the switch button?

Also how are you powering the front camera, is that something that might be causing the issue?

OP, use Solar Power Charger bank and when parked connect the camera with charger and this way Camera will be powered On all the time

Yes if you get a box that switch between the two I have done it few years ago see if I can find what I used I'll post a link. When I go into reverse my rear turns on, then when I take it out front come on for short time, if I press P button that turns on front 👍
