And then I've had this fantasy of installing a tablet in my car's dashboar to human action every bit a car calculator. That means I will be able to admission my google music cloud, using it every bit a radio, navigation system, OBD scanner, etc... (I program on getting a tablet with cellular connectivity).

Just the thing that looks virtually complicated to me is to hook it upwards with a opposite fill-in camera and to make the camera feed pop upwards every fourth dimension i put the car in reverse, and close when I put it out of the reverse gear.
Does anyone have an idea of how I could make this happen?

You'd accept to, not but, discover a fashion to interpret the opposite signaling via USB or through the OBDII connection, simply also take the video input from the backup cam. Because most aftermarket fill-in cams use a standard RCA connection for video and contrary light for a trigger, I'd say yous're better off either getting a headunit that supports a backup cam input or a rear view mirror with a ghost screen.

You'd have to, not only, find a way to interpret the opposite signaling via USB or through the OBDII connection, but also have the video input from the backup cam. Considering about aftermarket backup cams use a standard RCA connexion for video and reverse light for a trigger, I'd say you're better off either getting a headunit that supports a backup cam input or a rear view mirror with a ghost screen.

Yea I've seen some people on youtube managing with it. Some used RCA to USB OTG adapter.

Some examples:
This guy used

this this which connects to the reverse lights' ability.

This guy did it with a webcam so at that place would be no need of using RCA adapter. The only question is how practise y'all make the video feed pop up automatically when going into contrary gear.

Y'all'd have to detect something that understood the contrary signaling or interface with the OBDII on the tablet, other than that I have no idea.

Actually, if you just wired the photographic camera to use the 12v+ from the reverse lights, then the camera would only be on when the car was in contrary. And so it'due south simply a affair of having the organisation display an image when 1 is being transmitted, and turn off the app when video manual stops. Seems this would be much easier than trying to tap in to OBDII and look for an R signal.

Wow. That is crazy. I had no thought that vehicle laws in Israel were so strict. Would you exist allowed to install the system if information technology all plugged in to the cig lighter? Therefore information technology could exist seen equally a complex accompaniment, rather than a modification? I'm merely curious.

Wifi connected contrary cam

You lot should cheque out how Garmin codes for this scenario. The BC30 connects to the reverse 12V and only transmits when in contrary. They use a wifi receiver that is integrated into the power cord. In that location is a setting in the OS to either auto switch to camera or merely switch when told to. They employ two.4GHz

What exercise yous mean I should check how they lawmaking? Volition they provide me with a source code?

I am also exploring this idea

What practise you mean I should check how they code? Will they provide me with a source code?

I take sourced a wifi based reversing cam , but the problem is that when it transmits my samsung galaxy note drops its cyberspace connection and therefore google maps etc. I am a newbie, and so there might be a way to hold two connections open up simultaneously? Whatever ideas?

I call up this is going to be so complicated and that the corporeality of time and effort put into it would far outweight the cost. yous tin can buy very low price fill-in camera addons that piece of work in any car on ebay straight out of china. You could probably sell your tablet on a used goods site and buy one of these addons and all the same have coin leftover form the sale of the tablet.
