I can't think of a better way to use the extra switch than the reverse camera/lights! I'm sold on that idea haha. I will order the HU around the beginning of April

with a bit of creativity i don't see it being hard to wire the 2 together, just prepare to pull a bunch of panels to run a lot of wire (mainly to the actual reverse lights and install the camera)

Good call! I'll have to wire up the reverse lights then. You recommend the Beat Sonic reverse camera?
