Spoofing the reverse camera display
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2018 12:04 am
I'm soon going to start a PLC based project in my Ranger and which, could include a small additional display but, I dont really want to go down that road due to the lack of space in the dash. Another option would be for me to output a video signal with the information from the PLC and run that the the Sync 3 display.
Is it possible to force the Sync 3 unit to display a camera feed on request? There are a few camera switch units around that could be used to flick between the actual reverse camera and the output from the PLC.
I'm thinking this would be a great way to display things like a pitch/yaw display or even any of the values found on the vehicle CAN that can be displayed graphically.
Many truck head units (MAN, Isuzu, Hino) these days can accept multiple camera feeds with some minor modification but is the Ranger too "clever" for this?
