You can add external AV inputs with addons for OEM nav too
I think it was called NavTool or something.

Does anyone know if there's a way to switch your rear camera on in the middle of driving.
Like without having to be in reverse?
Thanks, Matt

You could add a front camera with the VaisTech ML+ unit as well (it has a video in for additional cameras). The ML+ also integrates into your OEM head unit for those, like me, who are into the factory/stealth look.

ML+ has this feature built in as well. It's kinda trippy driving on the freeway with the rear view camera on.

I think you're confusing with the Mark Levinson premium audio (ML) with VaisTech's MultiMediaLinq Plus (ML+).
