    I would like to rig up a bed camera, is there a way to trick the head unit into displaying the backup camera while you are driving?

    I have the 360 camera system if that matters.

    That doesn't work if the vehicle has the 360 camera system and the wiring at the back of the head unit is different.

    Get a stand alone system...link to your smartphone via wireless or bluetooth. Then view on headunit via car play.

    Android auto and unfortunately it seems tinyCam no longer can display in Android auto (due to AA restrictions). I was unable to find any other apps able to display a feed. Interesting idea though.

    As the anytime camera tricks the system into thinking it can display the backup camera feed at any speed (and sends it a different video feed) I was hoping something similar could be done for the 360 system.
