Thanks! Would be great to see how others try this angle so I can improve on mine.
Totally agree. I was thinking about the rear camera when I decided to try this.

Anyone have an extra pair of the custom made LVDS cables they'd be willing to part with (one long, one short, two total)? If so, please PM me! Thanks a lot!

Just a quick alert or reminder for those that have installed the camera and the corresponding giraffe/panda from @appleguru
This is actually a complete platform. It's kind of overkill to just handle the camera switch interface IMHO but wait...
There are endless possibilities with this setup for those super techies who are so inclined. I am just starting to dip my toe into the water to see what it does and how it works.

@appleguru do you have a separate thread for this adapter where we can start discussions on extensions and best practices?

My menu button suddenly stopped working. My camera is working for rear when in reverse and front when in drive, but the menu button is not toggling the switch. I unplugged the giraffe/panda for 1/2 hour thinking that might reset it but I really don't know where the fault is. I really cannot get access to the switcher because it is buried.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get this freed up or at least confirm that the giraffe/panda is OK?

Yes it doe and thanks for asking. I stuck it in the glovebox after programming it and forgot all about it.
I'll probably have to tickle him. He has been helping me look for another use of the Panda and I probably wonked it in the process.

Well it turns out I was wrong, sort of. The menu button switching will not work on MY car if the car is plugged into the charger.
Disconnect the charger cable and all is as it should be.

I have a new 2019 Model X long range and would like to be able to have a front camera view so my wife can park the car front end first in our fairly tight garage. Is there a kit with necessary parts and DIY instructions I can obtain? Please advise.
Im after the kit (minus rear camera, already bought one). https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/forums/tesla-parts-for-sale.72/create-thread Shoot me a PM if anyone has one they dont want!
Nick I have a Kamera switcher box, remote and cabling I can sell you. I don't have @appleguru's separate canbus panda but that isn't required. Pm me
Has anyone with the front camera installed noticed major issues after the 2019.32.12.1 / 2019.32.12.3 updates? Now when I switch to reverse:
- much longer delay to show the camera
- first I see a front camera for a half second
- then display blanks
- then back camera displays
Also, I get times where the entire main screen goes off and then comes back on when switching between cameras. This never happened until the most recent updates.
Anyone else have this issue? I assume this isn't an MCU/screen problem but rather related to the car firmware combined with the camera setup.

I'm on 32.12.3 two days. Had .2 and .1 Have seen none of those things you described. And I've only got Smart Summon to work once. Each time I have tried other times, I get an error telling there's an issue with the camera. It doesn't tell me side, windshielf/front or rear. So, I don't know if my front camera with it switched to front and not allowing rear to feed might be the issue. I need to go back and manually switch the front to rear so it stays rear and test again.
So if you are having Smart Summon problems, ref: cameras, I recommend you switch to rear camera on and try again. I will let you know after I test same.
Thanks, nothing to do with Smart Summon for me. I have AP1 so not even an option.
The issue persists, I have tried rebooting the main screen and the main screen + dash screen. I have also tried unplugging the switcher box from the OBD port and replugging it. Quite frustrating as everything was working smoothly before the recent updates and I certainly haven't touched anything else with the cameras.
Looks like my only option is to unplug the system and go back to rear camera only

Naw, give it time. Just because no one else as stepped up and reported, does not mean there are not others (doesn't everyone on earth read TMC?) It likely is manifesting itself another way that affects others. Another update will fix it.
I'd swap my front input for the rear input on the switch for a while. Let it default to the rear.

Interesting.....if I do this, what would happen when I switch to reverse? Wouldn't the switcher box show the front camera then? Maybe I'm not fulling understanding. Thanks for taking the time to help!
