Modify system so the rear camera view is always displayed

[fciac]

Hello:

Has anyone modified the existing rear camera/touchscreen system so that the system is always displaying the camera's view (instead of just when reverse is selected) on a 2020 LT or similar?

Thanks in Advance

I've heard lots of folks mention they would like this, but no one has said they succeeded. My 22 with HD surround cameras lets you select the rear (or front) camera while driving, but will only display it for a few seconds. If you are stationary you can view any of the 4 cameras, but not the 5th camera that is in front of the rear view mirror that is for collision avoidance, adaptive cruise, LKA etc.

I was looking at the 2025 manual and I "think" I read that you can record front or rear camera. I'm unsure if that was the ICE or EV manual, I'm thinking EV. Time to trade up????

Ricklack - thanks for your time. Maybe I'll be the first one to crack this nut.

If you do I would love to know how you did it. Good luck!

Actually it’s easy. There are a lot of post about people changing out their reverse lights and the reverse screen not cutting off. If you change out the factory reverse light with a non canbuss bulb your reverse camera will always be triggered. Problem is you wont be able to switch back meaning changing songs or using your navigation won’t happen even when the car is off. In theory if you run a low voltage wire with a toggle to the reverse light you should be able to trigger it but that’s just a theory.
