Frontview (or multi-view) 720p camera for Model S

Any chance we could get an HDMI input? Would be great to be able to have an aux video input!

Yes, I am making one extra board with HDMI input. We are working on the PCB layout now , would probably to have the 1st prototype in end June. Unfortunately we don’t have the knowledge to hack the audio part , therefore it’s just video only.

Hope any other guys could work out the audio source hacking part

If the source has bluetooth perhaps you can pair it with the car for the audio. I do that with the iPad and movies and other media for the rear passengers in the Revozsport Entertainment Console I installed. The video plays on the iPad, but via bluetooth the sound plays through the car's sound system.

Here's a link to the post I made some time ago on that topic.

Yeah, unfortunately tesla doesn’t give us a “normal” line in anywhere. So your best best is A2DP bluetooth...

Thanks Artsci! That’s cool!

Revozsport is also from HK too, I know their boss, a nice guy.

The HDMI interface is for the 360 around-view system Android phone / iphone / iPad connections. So the audio can be synchronised with iphone / iPad while playing video clips.

This looks like quite an interesting product. I'm following and may be interested in the 1st 100 batch. Thanks!

I was looking at the HDMI to backup camera thread and trying to figure out what kind of 360 bird eye system would interface with it. In searching I came across the following products. Although for Audi/Volkswagon, it seems like they have the proper connectors and might be plug and play compatible with our backup camera feed. Would only need to install the cameras that come with the kit, calibrate, and install in the driver side foot-well. Am I correct that we wouldn't need an HDMI interface with these? Any thoughts?

This one seems to have an LVDS in and out, perhaps allowing continued use of original camera with a switch???
