Audi A8 D2 oem style reverse camera

[Ronin]

I found this magic device which plugs into (now defunct in all cars) TV tuner which automatically switches to the reverse camera when you put the car in R, and back into home screen once you go out of reverse. It takes a standard cvbs aftermarket camera signal, and uses the reverse light 12v as trigger for the switch to tv tuner (reverse camera) and back.

It seems a bit expensive for what it is but if anyone is willing to give this a try here you go:

I have purchased the adapter, i could not wait to take a peak inside:

I will install it and report back soon.

Some progress, I have installed the adapter as per instruction and automatic switching does occur but i get a blank screen.

I have sent a support request to manufacturer. I think my cam might be too high resolution but camera requirements are not listed in the installation manual..
