You will want to remove the BLACK camera OUT cable from the APE (it's black on both ap2.0 and ap2.5).
...On AP2 it is on the left side of the autopilot engine (like in my video). On AP2.5 it is on the right side (even easier to access).

Best mod that I have done to my S. Being able to see in front where I am when parking has saved scratches and busting up my lower splitter dozens of times. This is a great mod - saves your car.
Yes, I have the "R" wire connected to the Rear terminal on the switch box. The Front terminal is not being used.You mentioned PWR and GND...do you have the reverse signal from the CANBUS kit connected to the switch?
Hope it's ok to ask install and troubleshooting questions here...
So I have the box hooked up, DISPLAY going to the APE via the short cable (I swapped the connector housing), the original rear camera feed going to REAR, and the front camera going to FRONT. I've verified that I'm getting GND and V+ (14V) from the CANBUS kit to the box. But the MCU rear camera view still shows as camera is disconnected. I shift to R and D, and it still shows as disconnected.
Any tips on what to check?
Also, how do you use the remote switches? I've installed batteries, but which button do you use? A, B, C or D? and how do you get the remotes linked to the switching box?
Thanks for any help.
Edit: ok, re-thought how I have it hooked up, and the APE goes to the REAR (via the short cable), the existing cable goes to the DISPLAY, and FRONT goes to the front camera.
I'm now getting the rear camera to display on the MCU, but I can't get it to display the front camera. Shifting to D does not bring up the front camera, it stays as the rear.
Still haven't figured out the remotes, though.
Edit #2: it's finally working. I verified that I was getting +13V on the R wire when going into Reverse. For silly I attached the R wire to the Front terminal on the switch, and was able to get the front camera when going into reverse, as expected when doing that. I then put the R wire back to the Rear terminal, and after several cycles of D...R...P...D...R...P etc. it appears to be switching cameras properly now. Whew.
But still haven't figured out the remotes...
Yes, I have the 27A batteries for the remotes. How do you pair them to the switch?Use the “D” button. You have to pair it... did you get a 27A battery in the remote?
Also, RE cables, you shouldn’t have to “swap housings” if you got the custom cables from Artsci; they’re the water blue universal keying so will plug in just fine.
Same for the black cable plugging into the switcher.
The "learn" button for the switcher box is inside itself. I had to disassemble it by removing the 4 screws, then reconnect it all (including power) and push the learn button. It lit up red solid, after which I pushed the "D" button on the remote and the red learn button turned off.
Correct. My case was missing thr access hole to push the learn button. Not a huge deal. I took a guess that I'd find it under the covers.It's not accessible without disassembling? I don't have a final switcher with case.. can someone that does post some photos?
I can confirm this as well... The access hole is missing...It's not accessible without disassembling? I don't have a final switcher with case.. can someone that does post some photos?
edare we doing on getting updated instructions out (specifically for AP1 nosecone)
Ah, ok, thanks. Well, since I have the car put back together, I guess I won't be using the remotes for now.The "learn" button for the switcher box is inside itself. I had to disassemble it by removing the 4 screws, then reconnect it all (including power) and push the learn button.
