A quick update and then I need to get back to finishing the job:
With
@appleguru help I was able to get the camera switcher and giraffe/panda working on my early AP1 Model X.
Here is a summary of what needs to take place:
- You need to pull the rear camera feed out of the back of the MCU. Find someone with small hands.
- You will need an extension cable M-F as I noted above (ebay) connected from the cable removed above to the Rear plug on the switch
- Plug the F-F custom cable from @artsci into the back of the MCU and into the display/MCU port on the switch
- Everything else is the same (panda connection, front camera etc)
Where I got hung up in the end was I thought something was supposed to be added to the car menu vs just pressing and holding the menu button to cause the device to switch. I ended up toggling to the front camera with the wire from the panda just so I could make sure it worked.
Now that everything is connected and I have cycled it manually the menu does work when held down and the gear shifter does switch appropriately too.
So next step is to decide where all the cables will be routed and put my car back together again. I will post some pictures of that when done.
