I was responding to Joe.B, specifically this:

"BAD: it does not unblock the video while driving. When the SPG is switched on it triggers the video to switch repeatedly between video and map every second or two. See my post on this along with the SPG creator's comments confirming this at
http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...s-all-time-10/"

I think that's exactly his goal. I assume he wants the screen to show video while driving. If you connect the reverse wire, and use the SPG, it will actually think you are backing up very slowly, exactly the condition when it would activate the reverse camera right? You'd need to switch the reverse wire off (and perhaps the SPG depending what you want to do) to use other functions like Nav.

Not sure if it will work, but it's a thought. You might end up with the "Check your surroundings" message though.

Cheers!
