I have never touched it, been really close a few times.

Just think it would be a good idea, and for a few minutes time, a 10 dollar camera, a switch, rca splitter, and some wire. Why not. I may have $30 dollars and 30 minutes in installing it.

I already know that the camera and splitter will work, just need to test and connect the trigger to the radio, and mount the camera. From info on ae64 the radio reverse trigger is a +12v, so a momentary NO switch hooked to a switched hot and connected to the camera and radio should do it. But I will probably make a little circuit to isolate the two triggers and a seperate relay for the camera. Just to protect the Head Unit from excess current.

bro. you live in pittsburgh. have you even driven on our roads? i wouldn't worry so much about spending the time/money putting in a front facing camera when you can just buy a new bumper cover in few years for probably similar pricing. mine is 3 years old and looks like shit. from steep parking lots and the massive amount of road debris we get as well as shitty pavement. (i may be totally wrong here, i have no idea how much this mod gonna cost you)
