Do you have an X or an S?Has anyone who installed these got any insight as to where I can find the connection for the rear camera? I don't want a "front camera" at present, but what I DO want is to install the Beatsonic HDMI mirroring solution. It's similar to this in that it's a switch that sits in between the display and the camera and chooses whether to display the camera feed or an HDMI feed from your phone. I just haven't pulled the trigger yet because I don't know how involved it is getting to that camera cable. The only instructions they have are for an X, but I understand that's quite a bit different than the S.
Not sure where you want to connect to. The original instructions had you splice into a video cable over on the drivers side. On my MX I had to do it behind the MCU (you can see those instructions and picture earlier in this thread). Attached is the MS instructions so you don't have to find them.Has anyone who installed these got any insight as to where I can find the connection for the rear camera?

I have an S. For reference, this is what I want to install: Tesla Model S and X Smartphone Mirroring KitDo you have an X or an S?
Anybody with a pre-facelift AP1 MS with this kit installed has gone to tesla for the MCU2 upgrade?
Any issues or problems?

S is much easier than the X to access the cable for the backup camera; there is a splice in the driver footwell.I have an S. For reference, this is what I want to install: Tesla Model S and X Smartphone Mirroring Kit
I only bring it up here because functionality it seems like it's just the same as this. It's an appliance that interrupts the feed between the MCU and the camera, and is controlled from the OBD port by a steering wheel button.
@appleguru and I use the technical definition since you break the connection at plug.Absolutley NO SPLICING is needed for the video cable.

When we first installed the camera switch in 2012-2014 S's, we knew the color of the reverse wire in the wiring harness under the carpet on the passenger side. (Someone helped artsci figure this out. And we could run a tap from that wire to the switch. And it worked great. When I got my 2017 and tried to install the front camera switch, the harness colored wires were different and not located in the same place. So, I could not find a backup light wire to tap. But what I experimented with was adding a push button momentary switch on the steering column. I ran 12V persistent to the momentary switch and on to the camera switch #3 terminal. When I was in the car, with the display lit/up, I could press the momentary switch once and switch the camera between front and rear. Didn't matter where it was, press, display changed. Press, display changed. It worked but not fun, to remember to do, when I wanted rear or front.
@S-ALSET, I am not answering for them, but from my experience. you are going to need to install it at the left end of the dash. Probably after you pop off the crazy 4-ish side dash end panel of the dash. There's enough room front the end of the dash to slide it in. But you might have to attach the cable after you place the switch inside the dash. From under the dash, the FM Radio mounting bracket interferes with access up under the dash to behind the dash. (Hope that makes sense). But the main reason for right here at the end of the dash, is the rear camera cable length is limited. You will need to unplug the black cable from the blue (with purple insert) connector, and there's not very much length from the rear camera cable left to plug into the switch. Its tight. And that's why you will likely have to get the switch hidden behind the dash and plug the cable into it then. The front camera cable plugs into the switch. And as I recall, I think you need a gender changer/short cable to convert the end of the cable going to the center display in order to plug it into the camera switch.Thanks @Russell and @HankLloydRight
DId you guys installed the main box to the left of your steering wheel or you used the FAKRA cable to give you some slack and install it behind the MCU?
Yes, that's accurate. That too is a good idea. Nice to have alternate ways to get this done. Thanks for that. I had forgotten that. I now suffer from CRS. (Can't Remember S**t).There's also the 433mHz remote control to switch between front and rear cameras, which you can also program into one of the Homelink locations. I've done both, as well as the reverse line for automatic switching.
