Subject: Switchbox supports at least 3 Video Inputs!! Author: ripp222 : member since January, 2006 : 357 posts Posted on: 2008-05-02 10:38:19

Did some further research, got a copy of the EBA for the "Retrofitting of wing mirror camera; BMW X3 (E83)" and upon studying the wiring diagrams to the Switchbox, it shows feeding the side-view mirror camera to PIN 5 & 18...

So in summary:
--------// Video + // Video - // Trigger
Video 1 // PIN 24 // PIN 11 // RSV inv PIN 23
Video 2 // PIN 21 // PIN 8 // Momentary contact between PIN 7 & 10
Video 3 // PIN 18 // PIN 5 // Momentary contact between PIN 4 & 10

I haven't confirmed the above... perhaps someone w/ the Switchbox installed could do so?
