hello I got the idea to add a second camera, mount it in the nissan emblem or in the bumper (i have factory rear camera). I figured I could add a DTDP relay, add a switch on the empty slots of the steering wheel column down at the left (LHD) and connect both camera so i could use the switch to change between the two cameras.
Has anyone attempted something like this?
i dont mind tapping into the factory cables.
i found these useful pages in AV section of the service manual.
btw i have a QQ 2014 accenta premium connect.
maybe i could use something like this

i also found this (it is for toyota) https://camera-source.com/2010-toyota-t ... radio.html
and this (for honda) http://www.world-beatsonic.com/cameras_ ... ra-switch/

Nope, only rear camera. One strange thing is that when i press the camera button on the head unit it doesnt show the camera view as i would expect but it shows a setting page for the guidelines... is this the case for everyone?

i live in Greece so the car is bought here localy and it is LHD. i always thought that only the tekna version has front camera.
mine is accenta as i mentioned above in the first post
Of course the car is manufactured in the UK if that helps

I emailed Nissan Customer Services earlier this year and suggested that they look into adding cameras front and rear to record as these are very popular now. I have Transcend cameras front and rear and wouldn't be without them now. It would probably reduce insurance as well but I didn't even get a reply.

The around view monitor wasn't fitted on a 2014 Acenta Premium - you needed the n-tec to get it. Rear camera only ...

Hi.
Just to let you know that a number of our insurance schemes do offer premium discounts for the fitment of a HD Dash Cam.

i believe i made a mistake, i uploaded the wrong page of the head unit. the head unit i uploaded was the one without the 7" screen.
I will upload now the correct pages. Note that the service manual has the head unit with the 7" display and the navigation but it only has the version with the around view monitor system(birds view). My car has is equipped with the oem 7" display and with oem navigation but not with the around view monitor system...
Maybe the head units with the 7" display are the same(regardless of around view monitor) and have the same terminal layout from behind. can someone clarify this?
